  • When a map is loaded it is now scanned and the nav mesh map for the big and small pipes is generated instead of me having to manually enter the information in the map file, making it a bit quick to create maps.
  • And with that maps 3 and 4 have been added.
  • added the two missing tile sets.
  • Fixed water being displaced in the tank during interludes.
  • Helpers and enemies now leave the scene after falling by the quickest route.
  • Player Character now obeys the same rules as helpers when falling and leaving the scene.
  • Second helper will now run the pipes and can be picked up.
  • Keys are now shown on the title screen.
  • Fixed water being displaced in the tank during celebrations.
  • Slightly increased the chance that a hole will be made.
  • Created a visual map editor, making levels is now far easier.
  • And with that map 5 and 6 has been added.
  • Removed a lot of redundant information from the map files.
  • Reduced the amount of sprites being used by around a third.
  • New enemies:
  • Spanners - Can’t make holes but they are fast.
  • Blow Torch - Can make holes but move slower than the classic drill but will take two shots to kill.
  • Welding Mask - Slow but can’t be shot from the front appears from level 3.
  • Nails - cannot be killed - maybe you could sacrifice something instead? appears from level 5.
  • Drills and Blow Torches will now pause briefly before making a hole in the pipe.
  • Sound effects are now louder.
  • Added sound effect when character bump into each other.
  • Fixed Enemies not being able to make a hole in the pipe when moving left.
  • Fixed player character not being able to shoot on spawn until moved.
  • Fixed issue where holes could be made in unfixable locations.
  • Changed so now an enemy checks if a hole can be made here then roles if a hole should be made from an enemy roles to see if it should make a hole then check if it’s a valid spot.
