v0.019: life, death, food, high score


This is a big update, introducing some of the game's essential features for the first time:

  • The player can now be killed by the potato monsters.
  • Food collectibles (corn) will spawn in crates to restore your HP.
  • Your HP and kill count are now displayed onscreen, along with your previous best kill count.
  • Your best kill count is saved by your browser.
  • There is now a six-minute day and night cycle.
  • There are now five unique death animations for the potato monster, which are triggered by which body part you strike (head, chest, feet, left twist, right twist).

And some minor tweaks:

  • The hit bounds of the potato monsters have been fixed so they extend all the way down to the feet, instead of stopping at the knees.
  • The field of view has been increased from 60 to 75.
  • The appearance of crates has changed to look a bit more like wooden supply crates.
  • The carbine magazine collectibles are slightly smaller.

When you press 'OK' on the "You Died" screen, you will respawn at a random location with none of your guns, but the monsters will still be there. This feature is unrefined at the moment. Expect a patch soon to make it more fair and playable.
