Hello!

As I implement more features, it becomes clear that the current development style does not work anymore. The update planned for today, which included a taste of the Jewel system, has been scrapped. The system is working fine, but in its current limited state it's not fit to be tested. There aren't enough jewels to fill even just the first 3 ecosystems, and that's a problem, because the implementation of the other jewels requires a pass on existing systems.

Therefore, I am simply uploading a hotfix that lays the groundwork for the next patch. This includes a "save compatibility" check. If your existing saves are incompatible, they will be wiped. I am trying to keep this "wipe" at a minimum, but please be aware that there will be wipes going forwards as I introduce and change systems around.

Here's what's planned for the next update:

- Jewels (powerups)

- update to basic attacks (and maybe the polished animations for flora!) and air attacks

- Spells (the first one, at least)

- Lust system :3

Here's what's in the current patch:

- Added "Save compatibility check". This will wipe your save if it is incompatible with the current update, rather than endlessly crashing your game or causing other issues.

- Updated the hazards in levels! there are now 2 kinds of spikes: the small spikes (with the previous graphic) just damage you. Large spikes (twice as large) have the old "warp" system, which will set you pack to the previous platforming checkpoint. The net result of this change is that levels are much more forgiving to travel across.

- Updated the "Dash charge" Artifact, as part of the massive jewel update coming soon.

- Added an "Artifact Obtained!" popup

- Added hover tooltips. These will come in handy once jewels are obtainable.

- Added a Collection screen (placeholder) and a Jewellery screen (functional). These are part of the next update.

- Updated the tutorialization. Let me know what you think, I'm undecided between this and the last system.

- Dashing now grants a tiny immunity. I plan to extend this duration, but more testing is needed before I can safely extend the duration.

- Spell has been disabled again. The basics of it are done, but it's missing the relevant resource to limit casting.
