A big animation and parallax update!



Something I always wanted Belle to have was custom animations for all her puzzle solutions. Unfortunately, at the time of the game's release I had to write these off as an impossible luxury.
However, with this update the game moves a few steps closer to my original goal! Now many of the game's puzzle solutions will be accompanied by a silly player animation.

Also, I have nicely spruced up the game's foreground layers with more detail, and added a nifty pseudo-3D floor effect to a few rooms.

Oh, and there's been lots and lots of bug-fixes all over the place, hopefully improving the overall gaming experience.

Warp chests and Easier mode

Mystic Belle's Beta branch has been updated with a new build, introducing some pretty radical new features.
First of these is the introduction of the difficulty select at the start of the game. The player will no longer be able to flip the difficulty at will during gameplay, as the modes are a bit more different now.
Second major feature is the addition of warp chests. These are only available on the easier setting. The chests allow you to store up to 14 inventory items in them, which will be available in all other chests around the game's world.
This should resolve at least some of the woes caused by the game's limited inventory space, as anywhere you go, there is likely to be a chest nearby.

If you thought the game was too slow...

I have added a Game Speed option to Mystic Belle!
The feature is currently in beta, and will allow any player to change the game's absolute speed between 50% and 150% of normal. The setting can only be changed from the main menu, as changing it during gameplay can cause unpredictable behavior.

You can access the newest version of Belle on the Beta branch, with password "nowheretorun".

Cheers!
