So today I used the pipe model in game in a few places, finished up Bonus Level 2, and cleaned some stuff up. i don't actually think I'll make more bonus levels, and I'll leave it at 2 unless I decide I'm gonna make this into a complete game down the line.

Today I worked a little more on bonus level 2!

So today I began work on bonus level 2! I also redesigned the flip and bounce pads. Finally, I replaced the old play button w/ a level select button, and made the new play button continue from where you left off in the game (last level played > checkpoint)

Today I made this experimental track for the game, but idk how much I like it. what do you guys think?

So today I "finished" Bonus level 1! I also made some new mechanics for it, as well as some more level decoration like a target graphic and a vent (both are pictured). I also made a walking animation with footstep sounds.

Worked on UFR today! I added a basic info page, an options menu with FOV and sensitivity sliders, and a level select! I have also begun working on some **Bonus levels :D**. these levels are much better than the ones made in the jam since I have more time to dedicate to them, and they'll be longer as well. Not going to show them off though, since that might give solutions away!

Worked on TWO of my games today!

For Homelands, I finished up the shift clicking and also did a whole lot of important polish for the inventory.

For Unsafe For Retail, I upgraded some of the graphics, including the laser field material and adding white particles to pickups.

I don't really know what to say in this post. Like, all of it? The entire thing?

Heres a list I guess
- Added the flipper's charges
- Glass texture
- Main menu w/ anti-nausea mode
- Pause menu
- Improved the two existing levels and added four more for a total of 6 (I said 5 earlier, but thats not including the tutorial)
- Added black tiles that stop the flipper from charging
- Added multicolored laser fields
 - red: restarts level
 - greed: set gravity to the floor
 - blue: set gravity to the ceiling
 - yellow: flip gravity

And some stuff after the jam as well
- tweaked lighting to make black and white tiles contrast better
- fixed a soft lock on level 4
- fixed an exploit on level 2 (THANKS @Michael lmao)
- a few other small tweaks

Man I got a lot done today, but unfortunately I also had some hw to do which cut off a lot of time. So I have a new wall texture, a device with an animation, gravity flipping pads (for before you get the flipper device) and levels 1 & 2 complete(~ish, might improve)! Tomorrow is gonna have to be just a lot of levels, but fortunately I do have some good ideas. I also still need a main menu with some settings, but that won't take long. I *also* did some heavy polishing on the camera, which now flips with your gravity, as well as just improving the gimick as a whole.

Already done with my game jam project :D

Jokes aside, got the main mechanic working + a sweet effect for hitting the ground too hard
