v1.0 - Worlds 4 + 5

After months of work, Worlds Within Worlds is launching today with the addition of Worlds 4 and 5 and a TON of other changes!

Here's a breakdown of some of the more significant changes;

• Added a Title Screen
• Added Up / W as options for Jump
• The edge of the screen glows to indicate where the player will wrap around to the other side
• Added LOTS more clouds / water as decoration
• Fixes for jump-through semi-solid platforms
• Tutorial overhauled
• Controller Support for the Butterfly
  • Both the primary and secondary player (2nd controller) can use the Butterfly
• Level Design overhaul; several levels have had minor tweaks, some have been rebuilt almost completely

Most importantly, Worlds Within Worlds will now run at a consistent framerate in EXE since it has been ported to GameMaker Studio: 2.

Worlds Within Worlds will remain FREE in-browser

All of the changes listed above have been implemented in the web-version of the game. If you enjoy the game, please consider purchasing the Desktop EXE version of the game to get a couple extra features and get a couple extra features;

• Infinite Descent Bonus Game: Swap to playing Infinite Descent, a polished version of my Ludum Dare 48 game
• Saving / Loading
• Improved graphics: Extra particle effects, and everything gets a nice drop-shadow
• Fullscreen: Sorry; GameMaker HTML5 builds literally can't be full-screen otherwise it would be ridiculous to charge for this

And, owners of the game can participate in a survey to dictate which of these new features are added first;

• New Worlds: Focus on adding a new batch of levels to the game
• More Particles: Add more visual flair with animated particle effects
• More SFX: Add more unique SFX to the game
• Steam Release: Bring Worlds Within Worlds to Steam
• More Accessibility Features
• Player Suggestions

It's been years since I first started working on the game in my spare time, and the project has been built entirely during evenings and weekends. That said, future development of Worlds Within Worlds will depend on the support the game receives from players. If you can't afford to directly support the game with a purchase yourself, please consider sharing the game with others. In any case, I hope you enjoy the game and I look forward to seeing your best time posted in the comments!
