Update v1.2 - Big Brain Update (6/15/25)

This is Robo Dolphin Escape's largest update yet, featuring an overhaul of the game's physics system, as well as new "Devices" that grant the player additional abilities in game.

New Physics

Several backend changes have been made to speed up the development of future updates, including an all-new system for collision triggers. This system also comes with new "wall" objects that prevent other entities from passing through them. A new dark gray wall obstacle may appear in game, which can provide valuable cover from enemy attacks.

Devices

At the start of each run, you are prompted to choose a "Device". These are powerful tools that allow for more variation in gameplay. I'll leave the rest for you to discover on your own.

Miscellaneous Changes + Bugfixes

• Portal in first level has more impressive particle effects
• Starfish are now mentioned in the tutorial
• Jellyfish properly reset sprites if you leave the room while they're charging up a dash attack
• Added a new tooltip system, which is currently only used for devices but it'll be used more in the future.
