Been working on World 3's boss fight, a classic floating hands and head-type character. Here's a look at the first phase of the fight that has you lobbing apples at it to break it's mask! #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio

Im in the process of reworking the third candy objective. Instead of having to break checkpoints for candy, you'll now be able to find a flying door hidden in each level. Once found, you can claim your candy at the end of the level! #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio

Say hello to the new way you'll be finishing stages in Candy Quest, the Goal Spring! Perform directional tricks to stay in the air and keep your bounce combo going to be launched up into the (newly updated) stage clear screen! #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio

Been cleaning up earlier stages recently. This includes updating background designs, improving stage layouts, and adding in a few more baddies. I've also added a new attack that lets you bounce on enemies when your burst is charged! #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio

The Webbed Willow is up next for some updates. The overall amount of webbing has been cut back, so things aren't as sticky now. There are also new slingshots scattered throughout the stage to fling yourself around with! #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio

And finally, for now, the Twilight Treetops has been updated. Mainly in the form of a new friendly Propeller Acorn you can use to float through the stage! You can also perform a flutter kick attack when letting go while airborne! #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio

Progress on world 4 (the final main world😱) is already underway! Here's a look at some of the new stuff I've been working on for 4-1. There's still a lot of work to do, but we're definitely closer to the finish line than not! #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio

Here's the remaining bits of 4-1, featuring the shrunken transformation! When shrunken, you're unable to attack, but you'll be able slip into all sorts of nooks and crannies. You can also hitch a ride on the flies to get around! #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio

Here's another moveset overhaul I've been working on for 4-2. This vacuum you'll be equipped with will let you suck up enemies and fire them out as damaging projectiles, it'll also alter your physics depending on the direction held! #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio

Working on some new baddies for 4-2. My favorite design currently is the little candle guys, but I also really like the how blue ghouls try to run away from you when you're vacuuming. #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio

Here's a sort of miniboss I've made for 4-2, the Possessed Armor! A fight with one of these guys can be pretty frantic as you try to dodge all of the slash attacks they send out! #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio #indiegame #ScreenshotFriday

Here's some of the bits and bobs for 4-3. Overall all of world 4's main level mechanics/enemies are nearly complete. I'm just about to start the functionality for 4-4's, then it'll be working on the level designs next! #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio #indiegame

And here's the rest of the stuff from 4-3, the main feature to note being the portal books! Although here they're set up in a rather simple manner for testing, I'll make sure they'll be put to good use in the real level. #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio #indiegame

I'm kinda going all out for 4-4 with the movement options. We got grind rails, potions that give you a big swirling boost, and banners you can wall jump off of! And wow is it fun to string a bunch of these together! #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio #indiegame

MaxBeforeTheOne ~ Candy Quest (@maxbeforetheone) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Here's the current handful of baddies from 4-4. With the focus of this level being on all of the movement-related mechanics, each of these enemies is able to interact with them. Also rail grinding skeletons are just cool. #indiedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart #gbstudio #indiegame

For those of you who like to go fast, check out the brand new Crouch Hop move! Although the hop itself is quite low, it gives you a significant burst of speed that you can maintain through constant jumping! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #Nintendo #gameboy #gbstudio #pixelart

Won't have much to share gameplay-wise for a bit since I'm currently working on a bunch of back-end stuff for Candy Quest. So, I'm gonna share some sprite work in the meantime, starting off with the Fall Forest! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #Nintendo #gameboy #gbstudio #pixelart
