Downfall

You fall, downward.

• left/right: move
• down: fire
• up / z: use slowdown powerup

to do

• sideways into tile bug
• don't spawn slow zone above bounces
• explain tiles on description
• count shots
• [o] decorative wall tiles
• alternate input with kbd
• distinguish spring tiles more to help with color blindness
• get feedback
• [o] slime enemies (burst into two)
• [-] screenshots and description on itch
• music
• music on the title screen / game over screen
• track different best for different difficulty?
• slowfall powerup should be more powerful than slow tile
• "splat" goes back to it after 5 seconds inactivity
• prevent lateral movement from phasing into tiles
• high score notification (in-play and at game over)
• palette shift as depth goes down
• laser breaks thru all tiles (no recoil)
• cooldown visuals (particles?)
• get rid of rapidfire
• particle effect on shield break
• slowdown as a button
• title screen
• difficulty ratings
• laser shoot sfx
• laser tile destruction particles
• indicator for slowdown powerup
• particle burst / sound effect for breaking previous record
• indicator for how long the laser has left
• change color palette shift with difficulty?
• color palette shifts should get longer with more depth
• change music tonality with palette shift
• mutate chord structure with epic cycling

to fix

• shots are going through spring tiles
• shooting when bouncing upward makes shot with slow velocity
• when straddling a bouncy and a solid thing maybe you shouldn't entirely die?
• terrain debris seems to stop particulating at about 300 depth
• move death splat to land on "floor", probably next tile's top - 4px
• can shoot projectiles while laser is firing

difficulty affects

• starting shell
• powerup frequency
• max-dy
• spike frequency
• shot cooldown
• color palette shift
