Hilda's Familiars Post-Jam Update

Happy Halloween! 🎃 To celebrate, we updated Hilda's Familiars with a few improvements we didn't have time for during the jam.

Familiar encyclopedia

Your familiar info page now tracks all the familiars you've discovered, complete with new animation and sound when discovering a familiar. Can you collect them all?

Improved request generation

Customer requests now start simple and get more complex as you level up. We also improved the logic to ensure requests are solvable so that you won't get totally stuck and have to turn customers away.

In-game instructions

We added an initial instruction screen, featuring a new illustration of. We also switched the alternate control scheme to the more common WASD + J/K.

Music and sound

We added GameBoy-style music and sound effects to liven things up. I used https://sfxr.me/ to generate most of the sound effects and gave customers a variety of "voices".

Plus, there's some additional polish, like a notification when you win the game. Try out the latest version and let us know what you think, and have a happy Halloween! 🐈‍⬛
