Hi!

Today I bring you some quality of life changes and some misc. bug fixes. I also wrote out some of my near future plans for the game.

CHANGES

- You can now bind buttons in the Input Options menu to individual badges
- More buttons are allowed to be unbound (Badge Ability, Quick-Swap, Moonwalk, all new Badge buttons)
- Made level clear icon a little more clear as to whether or not you found everything

BUG FIXES

- added separate builds for Windows 32-bit and Windows 64-bit to help with compatibility issues.
- improved song playing code, no-music glitch should be gone for good
- start button will no longer close button assignment menu

I'm busy working on my next project Super Debt, but there's still a few things I'd like to do for Garbanzo Quest when I find the time!

I want to add a speedrun developer ghost feature to every level in the game. There would be two difficulties, me with no Badges (easy) and me with all Badges (hard). I think this would be a fun way to show off the high-tech stuff you can do with the Badges :D I'm not sure what the reward for beating me would be, probably just a trinket or something haha

I'm also considering removing Mr. Smiley from some levels... They're my favorite enemy, so of course I just couldn't help myself haha. Though after some consideration maybe Garbanzo Quest could stand to see Mr. Smiley a little less :(

I used a script to compile a list of every time Mr. Smiley is used in the game. It's kind of interesting so I thought I'd share it! Of the 79 levels in the game (ugh, could I really not make one more to make it 80?) Mr. Smiley makes an appearance in (if not just one room) 28 of them. That's 35%! I glanced over the list and I think there's 12 levels that could reasonably be reworked without them. So that would bring it down to 16 (20%). If anyone has any suggestions I'm always happy to hear them! Also apparently the game has 880 rooms in it? I never counted them, but that sounds like a lot! There's plenty of scrapped rooms floating around in the levels, so this prolly more around the 700-800 range, still a lot!

Global Smiley Count:

Global Room Count: 880
Global Level Count: 79
Global Smiley Room Count: 84
Global Smiley Level Count: 28
