Version 0.0.4 Released!

IMPORTANT: This game is still in the PROTOTYPE stage - EVERYTHING is subject to change and important functionality is missing!

IMPORTANT: Mac users, please use the Itch.io app to download / install, otherwise you will need to run the following commands in terminal since the game is unsigned, assuming you downloaded and unzipped the game to the Downloads folder:

cd ~/Downloads
sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Cliffs\ of\ Akaia.app

Summary of changes:

• Add equipping system. LEFT CLICK to add/remove clothing or other items to/from player.

• Add pickaxe animations & equipping. Press E to equip / unequip. Backpack & pickaxe must first be equipped / visible on player to work. Player will automatically unequip pickaxe when climbing.

• Add animated player hair. It's pretty long. It blows in the wind and bounces up and down when running, walking, & climbing!

• Improve all player animations, especially climbing and running. (Some animations are still not done, i.e., falling, jumping, traversing, cliff scraping)

• Add signs. Press UP to read when standing in front of one. Some have helpful messages. Butterflies can perch on them!

• Add trees. Butterflies can perch on them!

• Add energy meter. Press SHIFT to use. Depletes when sprinting or speed climbing. You will fall if energy depletes completely while speed climbing! You will start walking if energy depletes completely while sprinting.

• Add climbing down. You will no longer fall when you stop climbing up. (This may be removed in the future if it isn't fun due to removing too much of the climbing challenge!)

• Add automatic cliffhanging when dropping down through the ground from the top of a cliff. From there you can start climbing down!

• Winter cliffs ice maze is now climbable - there is a path from top to bottom such that it is no longer impossible. (It was only impossible when climbing down wasn't a thing, so even if climbing down is ever removed, it will still be possible to reach the top by "falling with style"!)

• Butterflies can no longer perch on player due to major player animation system changes. (Don't worry, this will come back at some point!)

• Tons of bug fixes!
