Gnoma Garna V1.9-2.2.1 SUPER Changelog

Gnoma Garna V1.9-2.2.1 Changelogs

Gnoma Garna’s full version is here! And along with it, several major updates seen by playtesters are released to the public, all at once! Originally, I had a demo version with reduced content to play in-browser, and a full version for $3, but I’m just a little too young for a PayPal. So, kinda defeated the purpose of keeping these updates. Oh well, at least you can all try it!

Gnoma Garna V1.9 has just released! (8/3/2024)

Additions 

-Added a new creature; The whale! This creature can shoot streams of water out of its back, which blast anything it hits upwards.

-Added a new tile; The metal crate! Its just a heavier crate. Its also a metal object, so magnets pull it harder.

-Added a new tile; The thin lilypad! This lilypad sinks easier.

Changes

-Buffed the match! Now, you can be set on fire. This increases your horizontal speed to 1.5x the normal speed while on fire!

-The pufferfish and jellyfish are now affected by things like the ice and stopwatch abilities. The latter can now also be targeted by certain creatures.

Fixes

-Fixed an issue introduced in 1.8 where on occasion, there would be more lilies needed to complete the round than there were on the map, softlocking the player.

-Fixed a long standing issue where collecting two lilies in one frame would only count one of them as collected, softlocking the player.

Gnoma Garna V2.0 has just released! (8/20/2024)

Additions 

-Added a TON of new structure presets for more generation variation! 

-New "Workshop Mode" toggle in the main menu. This replaces infinite abilities, and is essentially a revamped version of it. In workshop mode, you have infinite abilities, and can reroll abilities with a button below them. In workshop mode you cannot die, and instead are brought back to the spawn platform on death. Collecting all the flowers in workshop mode will not award a win or start a new run, so you need to press R to start a new run in workshop mode. More coming to workshop mode in future updates!

-Added a new tile; Unstable concrete! This concrete variation is able to to sway a little, but cannot tip over or move.

-Added a few particles;

   -Dust particles when landing as the metal

   -Water particles on the ice ability for it melting

   -Feather particles on the duck's back when it pecks

   -Dust particles for the moyai when walking

   -Water particles when any object or entity enters the water

Changes

-Changed the lily ability to the sailboat ability. Functionally very similar, with minor changes to stability and such, and a new sprite.

-Buffed the metal ability, when landing a jump, cause a small explosive force. This does not affect the player. The length of the ability has also been increased; 1.5s -> 3s. You can no longer use a metal ability while metal.

-The match now has much lower friction, allowing it to slide to flowers or wooden structures easier.

-Improved the AI of the moyai. They also now aim their attacks directly at their target, instead of generally at them.

-Several changes to the main menu;

   -The main menu now follows the center of the screen at different aspect ratios.

   -Opening adv. options now shifts the main menu to the side to better fit everything on screen.

   -Fixed a long standing issue where settings wouldn't be properly saved and displayed when returning to the main menu!

   -When returning to the main menu, you can continue a run, as long as you don't change any settings, functioning like a pause button.

-Changed a few textures;

   -Rain cloud's rain

   -Chicken's egg

   -Ice ability

Fixes

-In game UI now follows the center the screen at different aspect ratios.
