Pyro Fighters 1.1.0


Hi everyone. Pyro Fighters is finally getting a proper patch. Lots of QOL updates and a few new features. The core game hasn't changed a lot but it's a lot smoother to play through.


[PATCH NOTES]

//big stuff + QOL

-NEW MECHANIC: hoverboot

    -hold A to hover, hover propels you upward without the need of firing down

    -firing downward works as-is, you can combine it with hover to gain altitude faster

    -flames act similarly to gun, but deals damage faster. it also kills bullets

    -overall, making movement less reliant on aiming the gun has improved game feel a lot

-new options, scroll down in option mode.

    -proper fullscreen and vsync toggles

    -native resolution options (16:9, 4:3, 16:15)

        -native 16:9 (changed from 427x240 to 426x240)

        -native 4:3 mode (320x240)

        -16:15 mode (256x240, NES resolution) (experimental)

        -altered resolution DOES affect gameplay, 4:3 is most comfortable way to play

    -enable previously-scrapped mechanics (hoverboot, wall jump, grapplehook)

    -border art options for both vertical & horizontal orientations/resolutions

    -CPU players can be enabled (AI code is untouched from first trailer, this is mostly just for fun)

    -all settings save on exit

-pause before title appears reduced by 2/3

-ondydev logo stays shorter and is skippable (press start)

-elevator room is skippable (press start)

-you now start with 10 lives by default instead of 5

-stage 1 theme updated to extended version used in OST


//balance changes

-player can shorthop much easier

-enemies

    -assault ships fly in slightly sooner (scales to resolution)

    -enemies can't fire from behind the HUD anymore

-level design

    -powerups/guns are much more common

    -hp restores are a little more common (2-3 per level)

    -some enemy patterns are more spread out

    -stage 4 has lower ceiling in bug section near end of level

-the screen barrier

    -ceiling limit is 16px lower, so you are forced to stay onscreen now

    -you no longer automatically bounce down from the ceiling

    -you die off the left side of the screen sooner if you are stuck behind terrain (except in break rooms)

-boss 1 has precise collision to match the animation

-boss 1 fires bullets from its mouth again (was previously disabled??)

-boss 1 death explosions don't hurt the player anymore

-boss 2's scythes have slightly shorter collision boxes

-boss 4 starts in center of room now

-boss 4 room is 4 tiles shorter horizontally

-boss 5 moves slightly slower, spit attack frequency slightly lowered

-boss 6 camera stops sooner in 4:3/16:15 resolutions; boss is fought from left side only

-boss 6 room has spikes above boss, can't hide in ceiling and deal damage (hoverboot made this too safe/easy)


//bugfixes, etc

-stuff that broke during gms1 -> gms2 transition

    -boss 4 (shock golem) shockwaves face left/right correctly again

    -fixed an issue where the final boss theme wouldnt play

-lots of text has been adjusted to accommodate resolutions

    -intro text changes font in 16:15 res

    -breakroom text has been shortened to fit smaller resolutions


//known bugs

-background still stutters on stage 5 when camera sways up and down

-p4 down key shows as undefined in control screen (should be O on keyboard)

-border art is visible through ingame transparencies
