## Player shouldn't be able to climb walls

## "Azulian Tag - Forest" and "Shapeshifter"
|
||||
|
||||
There is currently a bug where holding the Jump button allows the player to climb
|
||||
walls to their right (but not to their left). This is not intended behavior and
|
||||
will be fixed eventually. For a work-around, draw overhangs at the tops of walls
|
||||
that you don't want the player to climb over. Levels that rely on the climbing
|
||||
behavior will break in future versions of the game.
|
||||
The final level (so far) in the First Quest, "Shapeshifter" as well as the
|
||||
"Azulian Tag - Forest" level are large and colorful and may stress test the
|
||||
game's limits. On 32-bit releases of v0.12.0 the game could crash with an
|
||||
out of memory error when it reached 4 GB of memory which is more than a
|
||||
32-bit app can have!
|
||||
|
||||
The followup release v0.12.1 makes several optimizations to free up SDL2
|
||||
textures and more proactively unload level chunks that are not visible on
|
||||
screen but there is still room for improvement. Try the "F3" debug overlay
|
||||
feature to see details of memory usage and texture counts. I observed
|
||||
the Azulian Tag level to use up to 1.8 GB memory which may still be taxing
|
||||
on low-powered devices like the Pinephone with its 2GB total RAM.
|
||||
|
||||
For custom user levels it is recommended to keep them "light" with line art
|
||||
and avoid large areas filled with color.

See [above](#player-shouldnt-be-able-to-climb-walls). Currently there is a bug

A new version of _Sketchy Maze_ has been released and this one focuses on
|
||||
improving performance and memory usage of the game. Two of the game's levels
|
||||
("Azulian Tag - Forest" and "Shapeshifter") were especially taxing on the
|
||||
game and 32-bit builds could sometimes crash for running out of memory! The
|
||||
game tries to be much nicer about freeing up memory when not in use and more
|
||||
proactively loading/unloading level chunks during gameplay.
|
||||
|
||||
This release also fixes a long-standing bug where the player character could
|
||||
"climb" walls to their right. See the full details on the
|
||||
[change log](https://www.sketchymaze.com/guidebook/changes.html#v0121-april-16-2022)
