Howdy, folks!
It's been a rough few weeks lately, but we've finally got progress moving on the final addition to Navigator-- the puzzle mode!
Puzzle Mode is a twist on the normal Navigator gameplay, where instead of focusing on survival, you are instead focusing on navigating to a specific goal. By adding blocks, pushing them, and with careful timing, you must reach a goal post before the ceiling on top of you falls down!
This puzzle mode addition also introduces some new blocks and specialized hazards, such as anti-gravity blocks, spike traps, and a few other surprises. There are 30 levels total, and completing a "set" of levels will unlock that level's field for Endless and Competitive Modes.
Right now, Puzzle Mode is functional. There are, however, a few bugs/design errors/issues with certain elements in the mode that must be worked out before we can ship this out to you... as well as quite a few puzzles being impossible to solve. This is the final step until the release version is ready. This means that once we've finished finalizing this mode, we will finally be able to get the full game to you people that have been looking forward to it!
We've also added some nice new graphical effects to make the game pop out a little more when it's in action... it's simple stuff, but I think it'll make the overall product look a lot nicer-- which is exactly what we're aiming for!
I promise you, it's not much longer now until the full game is finished... I've just gotta develop/ship off some fixes to my programmer and everything will be 100%!
In order to make up for the lateness of the project, we'll be setting up yet another preorder deal-- from now until release, if you preorder Navigator, you can not only play all seven fields in the preorder bonus, but we're also dropping the price 40%! Maybe gift Navigator to someone as an early Christmas gift while the price is dropped? ;)
So remember to get yourself a preorder and spread the word!
