A Little Less Scared, a Little More Squash (Build 0.6.8)

🧱 A Little Less Scared, a Little More Squash (Build 0.6.8)
Hey everyone!
This update is a small but satisfying polish pass that fixes a visual bug and adds a bit more personality to our favorite cube hero.
🐛 Bug Fix: Ledge Panic on Slopes
Bit used to get a little too scared — showing their ledge-scared animation even when standing safely on a slope.
This was caused by how the player object was sampling the space in front of them to check for empty tiles.
Now, Bit properly recognizes slopes as solid ground and keeps their cool. 😌
Also the ledge scared animation got a few more frames of animation with the last update!
💥 Animation Update: Squashy Happy Bit
Bit’s happy sprite (used during level entry or stage completion) now has a cute squash and stretch behavior!
It gives these joyful moments extra bounce and charm, making victories and stage transitions feel more alive.
That’s it for this one — a quick polish build that tightens things up and adds a little more life to Bit’s personality.
More character refinements and visual polish are on the way soon!
