This is the post-jam update of my Spooky 2D Jam '23 entry "Escape the Cave".

Improvements

• Added glow dust particles  - they fit just nicely to the cave environment
• Music keeps playing after restart instead of stopping and restarting
• The glow of the firefly is more intense when light is at "full charge"
• The wings are flapping
• Show score, highscore and best score after  each run
• Collectable points in form of stars make the highscore more diverse and non-linear
• Start page with 3 difficulty options  - adjusting the amount of ligh orbs spawning and the influence of gravity,  as well as the amount of points players  can get during a run

Helloween Special

Bugfixes

• After cave  turned  completely  dark,  light is now coming back when player collects a lightorb "by chance"
• When you win a game, the screen showing the final score isn't disappearing any more
• No  delayed "you win" message is showing up any more, when players leave the "Play again" screen open
• In Chrome the dark area now also shrinks gradually over time, instead of collapsing spontaniously
