Changelog

v2.2.2

• Used explicit types for variables.
• Used advancing pointers instead of using indexing each time in the loop.

v2.2.1

• Turn off the sound when the game its paused to drain less battery and avoid an annoying sound..
• Almost all the setup functions grouped on a single function.

v2.2

• Removed the window layer from the Game Over screen.
• Added a shield for the Knight. It protects you against the arrows and sometimes the bombs if you get the timing right. Press B to use it.

v2.1

• New bomb' s sprites and animation.
• Added an explosion animation for when the player collides with a bomb.
• Refactor the code to improve its readability.

v2.0

• Changed the color on the TitleScreen to match the color of the Knight's sprite.
• Changed the speed movement of the orc. Now it moves faster to make it looks like it's trying to tackle the knight.
• Added priority to the orc's sprites to avoid the sprite going under the obstacle sprites.
• Added some code to make the orcs avoid the pits.
• Added a new obstacle. The bombs. I'm working on a explosion animation for when the player collide with the bomb.

v1.4

• Fixed a small bug on the game (A coin appearing on the grass at the beginning of the game).

v1.3

• New song. Twillight Drive. I get it from here https://github.com/DeerTears/GB-Studio-Community-Assets/tree/master/Music. I just edited it.
• Reduce file size.

v1.2

• Now it has music, since I'm just a beginner the song is really crappy. Gonna keep working on the music until I feel satisfied.

v1.1

• Minor changes. Still no music.

v1.0

• Monochromatic & color version.
• Better collision box..
• New SFX.
