The Beta 1.5 Update for Kansas Panic is Now Here!


First, and perhaps only update from Japan! Surprisingly, I have more free time than I had in America. It's a blessing that I could release this update. Updates include:

  • Since people have pointed out that it was hard to play the game with the color palette that it has, an option to turn on outlines has been added to the settings. Outlines by default will be turned on.
  • In addition to visual changes, the sprite for the default bullet and the cloud projectiles from the Cumulus enemies of stage 3 have been changed so it can be easier to notice them.
  • The color of the petals of Clytie and the enemies of stage 1 have been changed to reflect the color of the sunflowers on the ground.
  • Dorothy is now easier. Her bullet patterns are slower, and she won't reach the bottom. There is a lot to take advantage of here.
  • The player's invincibility frames are now a little longer.
  • The way bombs work have changed. Secondaries have also been nerfed when used on bosses.
  • The timer on the top of the level should fade when you go under it. Now you don't have a blind spot when you stand there.
  • When you defeat a boss, the time it takes to go to the result is now shorter.
  • The default pause key is now Escape.
  • You can't bind the same keys anymore.
  • When you buy things in the shop, the choice you selected will blink before you confirm them.
  • You no longer need to delete your save file anymore when you're downloading a new update.

I feel very confident that the core of the game is getting closer to a point where I can comfortably design enemies and levels without changing any of the basic mechanics. Hopefully, I can release another update before the next semester starts, because I believe that semester will be very busy!
