Finally fixed ✨most✨ of the bugs of this platforming mechanic! It was such a pain and I still have to iron out the #animation and check it with a slower frame rate 🙃 #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev #indiegamdev #gaming ⚙️At least it's fun⚙️

First look at the day-night change in my #indiegame I dont plan on making a cycle, rather the player can change the time of day by resting. #pixelart #gamedev #gaming

Playtest puzzle in my #Indiegame #pixelart #gamedev #gaming Yes I know the environment is ugly here, it's kind of a dump area to test mechanics
