Five months later, the next update has arrived!

I don't want to go in-depth as to why I and Mail Call itself have been absent within this specific post, since this is where I'll include the changelog. However, I will have a separate post written regarding the game design.

This may look like a minor expansion to the Motion Update at first, but trust me, a lot of the features within this update are pretty much why it took me so long in the first place!

Why Spaw Update?

The Motion Update was a large update that took energy out of me and ended up in a hiatus. Alongside managing my mental health and planning the structure for the rest of the game's development, I was considering the bigger picture when working on and off of 3.1. It wasn't until the weekend I'm releasing 3.1 that I got around to the heavy lifting.

This update was developed in order to complete several processes I started in the Motion Update and planned to finish, such as animations, bosses, a proper save/load feature, and more!

Additions and Changes

This section covers new additions and major improvements. Scroll down to see the minor changes.

• The main menu has been added where you can start a new game or load your save file. *NOTE: Make sure you save your game at the End Shop for the Continue button's function to activate!
• The Level Select theme was overhauled. You might not hear the complete difference, but I basically enhanced and edited a new loop of it!
• Instructions have been added to certain levels to allow accessibility and understanding regarding the controls.
• Some of Pop's levels have dark background lighting.
• Added the Spaw minibosses! You must shoot and defeat the buzzsaws as spikes spawn randomly around you!
• Added a secret path for Pop to the Raptorech fight!
• Changed the Rick Roll location and improved the Rick Roll scene itself.
• New Fidget enemies were added to Bop's levels!
• More sprites have been animated.
• The Raptorech fight has drastically improved. Enemies spawn differently as you're fighting the main boss and the hitbox and hit count both changed on Raptorech.
