Also, the boss battle difficulty has been increased, as the boss now also uses the triple bullet attack and has more health.
All in all, the intention behind these changes is to add more incentive to explore the dungeon.

This release also includes some graphical changes to give more identity to this game (just by using a color palette and by displaying a grid).

Notes

• The color palette used is CC-29
• This release took some time as I have hesitated between keeping that art style vs using a third-party tileset. In the end, I have chosen to keep this art style to ensure more creative freedom for the next releases.

Notes

• Blocks are now spawn randomly in rooms to add some obstacles against enemies
• We are back to having only one type of room as there is no need for multiple types of rooms thanks to the newly spawn blocks

The mini-map now also displays the end room, which will be the victory condition of this game.

Notes

• The mini-map, and the whole map, only support a 10x10 matrix of rooms, to simplify their management

A positive side-effect of this refactoring is the possibility of creating multiple types of rooms (these are prefab variants, instantiable by name using a factory).

To do so, only the core gameplay elements have been implemented, as simply as possible.

Notes

• The player is represented as an arrow or a spaceship to avoid complexities related to sprite designs and animations
• The player and the enemies are only moving orthogonally (and diagonally for the player) to simplify the enemy AI
• There is no color as there is no need for it for the moment
