KNOWN ISSUES & IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- Bosboon Enemy: This adversary is currently undergoing a revamp. The new integration into the game is still rough around the edges, with incomplete animation and a lack of sound effects. Completion is expected in the subsequent update.
- First World: Planet Korala: Despite being the most developed in terms of level design, there still need to be new assets and new enemy spawns. Currently, only 20% of the new enemy spawning system is operational.
- Second World: Planet Meolia: This planet is under renovation, leading to an incomplete gaming experience. Certain areas pose increased difficulty. The old enemy spawning system is still in effect.
- Third World: Planet Mazir: Progress in this world is steady. However, it still operates on the old enemy spawning system.
- Fourth World: Planet Zeros: This world is currently in an unplayable state but can be observed to grasp the direction of our development progress.
