Thanks. And it’s going to continue to be updated as more tiles are introduced.
If you are curious, here are all of the features in the game so far
All Features
Menus
Tapping a button will highlight it
You can save up to 4 games. Please note, the custom level is saved across all saves.
You can toggle the FPS meter, Auto Frame, and Auto Jump in the gameplay settings.
Gameplay
Includes Keyboard and Gamepad Support.
Sticky Floor slows down Squaeyron and certain enemies, and prevents them from jumping.
You can hold the Special Button to descend quickly on a Ladder.
You can jump on some enemies’ heads to defeat them. Some require you to ground slam them.
Ground Slamming a Mega Chomper will give you a big boost.
The controls will automatically adjust based on your gameplay (for example, when landing on Sticky Floors, the jump button will disappear, and the special button will move over and take its place. It will also move back to its original spot as needed).
The Space Gem and Star will appear in the HUD if there is a Space Gem or Star Fragments to collect.
The locks on the Door reflects how many keys you need to unlock it.
Keys, Space Gems, and Star Fragments all have a shine effect.
Critters are invulnerable to the player’s attacks, and will inflict damage if bumped.
Squaeyron can push the crate to an exact location, and Starlynn can bump the crate to an approximate location. Only Starlynn can bump the box into the middle of spikes, and only Squaeyron is able to push the crate from against the wall.
Only Squaeyron can break Tampered Glass from above, but Starlynn is only able to do that from the sides.
Starlynn can only dash once whilst in mid-air.
Squaeyron can only jump once from the ground, and Starlynn has the ability to double jump.
Unlike Squaeyron, Starlynn does not get stuck on Sticky Floors.
Level Creator
You can move the player spawn anywhere you like (as long as it’s inside the level)
You can move the Editor Preview to the left or right side of the screen.
As more tiles are added to the Inventory, you can scroll left and right to find the one you want
You can tap the Camera Icon to go into Scrolling Mode
You can tap the Red X icon to switch to the Eraser Tool
You can tap the pencil icon to switch to the last tile used (Grass by default)
Certain Tiles can be placed on Dirt Wall tiles. Simply tap the dirt wall with your tile of choice. (Explained in Tutorial page 8/8)
If you are on the Modded Player, you can share your custom level. It is recommended that you do this on a desktop computer so you can get the full code.
You can choose how many keys are needed to open the door when placing one, and while you have the tile selected, you can edit this value.
Upcoming Features
Squaeyron can Wall Jump across Sticky Walls, whereas Starlynn cannot.
Blinking Blocks will switch every 5 seconds

Access is given to those who are credited for helping the game in development, such as Platformer Physics, Community Level Creators, or Special Thanks.
@Spy_Guy_96 how do you like how I did my Vanish Blocks? After some fiddling around, I decided to create a new variable called “Intangible Vanish Blocks,” which keeps track of the ones that are intangible. I made sure to test every aspect (landing on the vanish block, enemy landing on one, when it moves off the screen and back on again, and when it reappears). Everything works as expected, and no code was altered.
I literally named my function “VanishBlock{x,y}”
And unlike yours, it flashes once, then rapidly flashes 3 times (and goes more transparent) before disappearing for a few seconds. The time it takes to disappear and reappear is about the same.
Also, isn’t a coincidence? The ID for your Blue Platform with X is n (I’m assuming), and the ID for my Vanish Block is N (Friendly Reminder: I use Ascii Characters (āáæč) for entities instead of capital letters).
They are the only enemies that must be defeated more than once.
The Enemy Spawner has been officially canceled, since it wouldn’t make any sense for the habitants of the Alien World to be able to build one. They don’t even have hands… or arms for that matter…
Do you think I’ll be able to add the final enemy type before I lose access to the old HS TestFlight version? I only have 5 days left.
This is the last thing I need to add, btw. I have finally added every planned tile image to the game. And I no longer need to change anything in the Game and Editor scenes other than the movements, attacks, enemy index, init tiles in editor, editor preview update tile, and init tiles in inventory… It’s not really a lot, I can copy the entire tile data list from the preview to the inventory…
Sleeper will also only active based on your Y level in relation to their Y level.
The following enemies now ignore the Enemy Blocker: Chuck (because it can fly), and Turret (because it never moves). All other enemies will obey the blocker.
The long-lasting bug has finally been fixed in [Beta 26d]
Projectiles like Turret’s Fireballs no longer despawn prematurely when hitting either edge of the level. This still happens in Raccoon with a broom, lol. Why destroy it when it hits the edges of the level anyways, when the other checks for when an quick-despawning object moves too far off the screen already does that? I did what I did simply for aesthetics.
The Fireball projectile (and soon, the Sonar Sound Waves) now slowly fade out and will despawn shortly after.
Lil’ Blobby will now obey Petrichor I mean the Enemy Blockers, just like the larger Blobby.
