The Game Jam concluded but Green Top's journey is far from over! I'm cooking up some new and exciting stuff. In the meantime, I decided to be a bit more organised and log everything that was and will be done in the future, so here are the features added in the first released version of Green Top, v0.1! (a.k.a "Jam Build").

v0.0.1 - Basic Player movement

• Player can now move, jump and aim his arms
• Added the Player's Robot sprite (Idle and Run)

v0.0.2 - Fire, Water, Grass and Coal

• Player can now shoot fire and water
• Fire now burns grass and gives the player a small boost
• Water now spreads grass

Fixes

None (this is the first released version)

Coming soon...

Although I tried to fit as much content as possible into this first version for the Game Jam submission, I wasn't able to add some of the most core gameplay elements of Green Top. For the next update, I plan on fixing all bugs and issues from v0.1 that were mentioned during playtesting while also adding the mechanics that will make Green Top's game loop way more cohesive and meaningful. We'll also have some new cool stuff for the speedrunning part of the community ;)

We're also setting up a Discord server for all three (3) members of the Green Top community to hang out in! In the meantime, though, you can hop by the Green Top Speedrunning server (which is basically the same thing): https://discord.gg/nZxkwavJS4

If you have any feedback or bug reports, please share them with me :D
