v1.1 Major Overhaul!


The v1.1 major update to World Within Worlds is finally out! Months in the making, there's a massive list of changes to the game, nearly EVERY level and World has been updated in some way. Some changes are minor (like moving an enemy a few pixels to the left to make them line up better for speedrunners), while other changes completely overhaul the level, like this update to World 4;



There may be small bug-fix updates from here on out, but the addition of new Levels will be contingent on player support. To this end, I've created a Bundle with a Sale Goal so you can buy the game, get my Pocket RPG Tileset as a free bonus, and know that you've contributed to further development of World Within Worlds. The game will always be free in-browser so absolutely anyone can enjoy it; solo, or with a partner to help out with the Butterfly. That said, as of writing, only 3 people have purchased the game. By creating a Bundle with a sales goal, I hope players become aware just how many (or few) people are actually supporting ongoing development. Each level in the game (even single-screen ones) takes hours of development and testing. I'd love if, someday, the sales of games like this one would allow me to create my own games full time, so this current bundle/sales goal is but the first small step towards that endeavor. For those who can't afford to purchase the game, don't forget that sharing it with friends who you think will enjoy the game is a great way to help.


I hope everyone continues to enjoy World Within Worlds, and I look forward to the day when someone can beat it in <7 minutes!
