Added New Ability to ChainStaff - Launch Getting Closer

Vault Ability 

As we continue to polish ChainStaff for the April 8th release date, I've got cool news. 

After loads of playtesting I realized we needed just a little bit of extra polish in the game. 

Behold--the "Vault Ability"!


This is a new, automatic move that happens to the player in the game. 

Any time you are next to a ledge, and you press towards it (left/right), you will automatically try to climb it just a little bit.

You don't climb all the way up walls.But you do kick off of them twice, giving you a tiny boost. 

You do not do a full ledge grab. That I feel would slow down the pace of the game. But you quickly do a small wall-hop and it lets you over loads of tiny spots you'd fall normally. 

Want to try it out? It's in the free demo on Steam right now! Is it better than a ledge-grab? Let me know what you think. 

Final Playtesting

If you are interested in playtesting the game before its release this April 8th, join my discord and ask around and I'll hook you up. 

The game is 90-95% complete and I am now smoothing out rough edges and looking for more bugs. 

We are getting close and I could use all the help I can get to find bugs in the game. Thanks!
