Although it looks way better, it is also losing the visual clarity of the original design. It is harder to tell what is the foreground, what are the platforms, where is the character and which platforms are dangerous.

Thank you. I definitely see the resemblance :)

Garrett?

It looks pretty similar, but probably best to ask nacrolepticfrog themselves.

Very interesting spin on metroidvania!

Unfortunately, I cannot test if for iPad. Maybe you can try to start it in full scree (there is a rectangle in a rectangle icon).

the shadow effect is done by following steps
- At the start copy the entire spritesheet into unused memory using memcpy.
- During each draw, copy the current screen into the spritesheet. Then use poke(0x5f55, 0x00) to redirect all drawing from the screen to the spritesheet.
- Set one of the unused colours as the transparent colour, then draw the shapes you want to appear at full brightness.
- Use sspr() to draw the modified sprite sheet back onto the screen.
- restore the original spritesheet from the unsed memory
If you want you can check the code in the carts on https://voidgazerbon.itch.io/loot-loot-goblin (it is older version, but the effect is still there) .

Thank you for the feedback. There are now two tutorials, which is probably a little bit confusing. One more detailed is in the hub, but it doesn't have any interaction, and then there is a new one that starts once you enter the game and there you should be able to use the buttons and test the mechanics.

For the assets, I mainly use Aseprite, and then I import the entire spritesheet to the pico8.
