v1.0.4 - Easier final puzzle

♥!Carramba!♥ to all of you, nice people.
I'm bringing new updates to the jam entry so that the game can be left alone forever. Unless I want to expand it later in the future, who knows? First though I need to finish the other 2-3 games I started (Ok, I lied: they are 6). One step at a time.
Version 1.0.4
- Changed layout of the top of the tower for a clearer puzzle, removed "GO" and "STAIRS" options, and added extra hints for final puzzle.
- The game is now fully compatible with v1.0.0 save files. (hopefully)
- Now the character moves correctly to leave the tower.
- Added some extra interaction with the princess.
- Added sound effects for options and save windows.
- Changed word "trough" -> "through"
- Now you can go straight to the tower from the castle.
- Fixed bug where princess sprite doesn't change after... her hand.
- Fixed graphical bug where you might enter the tower by moving the wrong direction.
- Probably fixed bug that crashed the game after moving the crown.
I realized that the final puzzle required a very big leap of logic, so for now since there is no hint system of any sort, I decided to add some extra hints in case someone gets stuck. I removed the stairs since they were a big red herring, and the extra step of having to move them kinda ruined the vibes of solving the rest of the puzzle, in my opinion.
Again, I hope the game is fully stable as a short puzzle experience, so I can finally continue the development of my main game. Hopefully I can have the steam demo of the project on steam for this September.
And as a reminder, there is a discord server to stay updated! (lie, I forget to post every time)
See ya! C:

Well, the Princess hates things properly, at least!
Maybe make it impossible to deselect something if it's the only one of its kind? Was dumb and removed "the" when I tried to talk and had to re-add it.
Time to win! May I not be weird and find another bug!
Spoilers:
Hm... Should I be able to travel direct from Tower back to Town since I can go one way? eh.
Spoilers:
Talking to King: incription > inscription

Well, I didn't expect to win that way. That wasn't even my plan! I was just trying everything!
I moved the King to the Corpse hoping the blood might make him less able to dodge, then tried to hit him with the inscription, then tested the inscription as a weapon on the rat, then used the last item as a weapon, even though it didn't work the first time I tried to win.
Nice, you completed it!
The final puzzle got simplified a little, and I removed a bunch of red herrings, so it's possible to find the answer by mistake. (but still unlikely)
I don't think I will do other quality of life updates unless I want to make a longer version of the game, but I'll still do bugfixes to keep this game complete and finished.
Thanks for reporting the typo. And being able to go straight for the tower is to avoid multiple movements to reach the final puzzle. But I might add a "go to town", since it should be simple to add.
Thanks for replying! Have fun game making!
Hey, this looks interesting!
Thanks! C:
