# Known Issues
|
||||
|
||||
While the game is still in beta, it's bound to have some bugs. Tell me about
|
||||
any you find at <a href="mailto:support@sketchymaze.com">support@sketchymaze.com</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
Some current known issues and work-arounds are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
## May need to exit and reload the Level Editor when changing your palette
|
||||
|
||||
When you use the palette editor to **add a new color** it may not be possible
|
||||
to correctly _draw_ that new color, instead it will draw as whatever's your
|
||||
first color in the palette.
|
||||
|
||||
For a work-around, save and quit to the menu and reopen your level.
|
||||
|
||||
## Zoom in/out bugs
|
||||
|
||||
If you draw onto your level while zoomed in or out, the pixels that get committed
|
||||
to the level may be offset from where the preview was on-screen. Draw some test
|
||||
lines to find out the offset or else avoid drawing while zoomed. The 1 (one) key
|
||||
restores the zoom level to default 100%.

This is a new, **major** release of the _Sketchy Maze_ beta. There are a bunch of
|
||||
new tweaks to gameplay including controller support and an A.I. overhaul for the
|
||||
enemy creatures.

||||
|
||||
[Download](/download) the latest release now or see the
|
||||
[change log](https://www.sketchymaze.com/guidebook/changes.html) for full
|
||||
details. The highlights of this release are described below.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## New Features
|
||||
|
||||
#### Creatures are more aggressive
|
||||
|
||||
The game's creatures have had an update to their A.I. and many of them will now
|
||||
become hostile to the player character. There have also been updates to their
|
||||
behavior when controlled _by_ the player character. Some of the changed behaviors
|
||||
include:
|
||||
|
||||
The **Azulians** will track and follow the player character and jump if you are
|
||||
above them. Azulians are friendly if the player character is an Azulian or a
|
||||
Thief. Each color of Azulian has a different aggro radius, speed and jump height
|
||||
with the Blue Azulian being the weakest of them all.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Bird** will search for the player and dive-bomb at them when it sees a shot
|
||||
it can take. Birds do not attack players who can fly, so they are friendly
|
||||
to the player character if you play as the Bird. When under the player's control,
|
||||
the Bird can dive to kill other mobs such as the Azulian.
|
||||
|
||||
The **Anvil**, under the player's control, is invulnerable to damage from enemy
|
||||
mobs and it can crush other mobs by jumping onto them.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Game controller support
|
||||
|
||||
_Sketchy Maze_ can now be played using an Xbox-compatible controller, including
|
||||
some from Nintendo such as the Switch Pro Controller.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have a Nintendo-like controller where the "A/B" and "X/Y" buttons are each
|
||||
swapped compared to an Xbox-like, you can choose the "N Style" button layout in
|
||||
the game's settings. Every PC game controller in my house is a Nintendo-style one,
|
||||
so this button mapping is a first-class citizen in my game!
|
||||
|
||||
See the [Gamepad Controls](https://www.sketchymaze.com/guidebook/controls.html#gamepad-controls)
|
||||
in the Guidebook for full details!
|
||||
|
||||
## New Levels & Doodads
|
||||
|
||||
Two new levels have been added:
|
||||
|
||||
* **The Zoo:** this Tutorial level shows off basically all of the doodads in the game
|
||||
and features a "costume room" to try playing as different creatures.
|
||||
* **Shapeshifter:** this addition to the First Quest needs the player to swap between
|
||||
different creatures to complete the level
|
||||
|
||||
And there's a new doodad:
|
||||
|
||||
* The **White Azulian** is the strongest Azulian and has a larger player search
|
||||
radius, speed and jump height than the Red Azulian.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scripting updates for custom doodads
|
||||
|
||||
The JavaScript syntax used by doodad scripts now supports many modern ES6 syntax
|
||||
features, including the `let` and `const` keywords, arrow functions, Promises, and
|
||||
`for-of` loops, which brings a massive quality of life improvement for programming
|
||||
custom doodads!
|
||||
|
||||
For the technical details, I've replaced [robertkrimen/otto](https://github.com/robertkrimen/otto)
|
||||
with [dop251/goja](https://github.com/dop251/goja) - check their documentation for updates
|
||||
on ES6 syntax support!
|
||||
|
||||
There are also new features in the scripting API to allow doodads to search the level
|
||||
for the player or other actors. Check out the functions tagged "v0.11.0" on the
|
||||
[Script API Reference](https://www.sketchymaze.com/guidebook/custom-doodads/api-reference.html)
