Bugville!

Today I had full intention of starting the last area of the game, but I got sidetracked with small stuff, mainly related to bugs I’ve introduced in the latest refactoring rounds…

But I killed a lot of bugs, and added some more functionalities, namely quick save/load. Quicksave was more or less implemented for my tests, but I cleaned it up for use in game… Because of that, I’ll throw away the idea I had of “clone tubes”, which would act as player lives. Since the player can save anywhere, if he dies he can just restore a save game… I could disable the quicksave to make the player use the clone tube, but I always like games where I can stop playing when I want, so making the jump hoops to be able to stop playing annoys me…
