Post Jam Update: Fixes and Patches

Fixes

Now that the Lv99 2023 Game Jam voting period is over, I've decided to perform some minor fixes to the game for some QoL improvement:

- 'Esc' button to open menu/go back has been remapped to the 'Tab' button, so browser mode can be played in full screen mode without interruption.
- Upon KO, number of charms is now reduced to 0. A friend notified me of this: his strategy when fighting the Niangshi boss was to collect the charm, die, rinse and repeat until he had enough charms to consecutively hit the boss. Not intended and duly patched :').
- Minor UI fix with regards to the 'Resume' button for the menu.
- Fixed the level save. There was an issue where only the level immediately after a freshly completed level was 'unlocked', even if someone has already completed levels beyond that. This only applies to those who like to revisit levels (like myself during testing).

Future Work And Thoughts

I had a ton of fun working on this game. It was my very first game jam, and I think I managed to pull it off okay-ish. One of the biggest lessons I learned from this was to keep the scope manageable, given the limited timeframe. There were a few moments during the jam when I had some crazy big ideas, but I managed to ground myself by writing down only what were necessary in my trusty notebook, and sticking to what I wrote.

I have plans for Shiang-Ji to continue with his adventures, be it with an expansion of this specific game, or perhaps with a sequel of sorts. I won't reveal much about what I have in mind, but do keep an eye out for the cowardly hero!
