Lucia, progress report 20181029

Well here's a nifty update to the game. You get a whole new level.

This second world is intense. You've got fishmen who leap outta the water to attack you and mermaids who sing these like sonic blasts or whatever at you. It's pretty tough. The boss of this area is an exceptionally tough giant mermaid who's gotta be juicin' or somethin' because she's absolutely ripped.

Oh, there's also a second playable character: Myrna. Name pending. But Myrna's pretty nifty: she's got a really strong teleport attack that works through thin walls - also around corners - and generates a lasting damage field for defense. Her cooldown is way longer than Lucia's, though, so she plays much different. Also, she starts out with full health, but can't regenerate it through a level.

Oh, and if you've played Saving Princess, go ahead and press P for a fun little easter egg. Portia can do a quick jump by pressing space in the direction she's running, which gets her across pits and stuff. Her weapon is actually not all that great in this environment, being a single-shot long-range weapon when you've got pissed off fish guys with sharp claws gettin' in your face. Luckily her health regenerates back to one point, just like in her game.
