Castlevania ReVamped Android APK v0.1.6 - Candle Hitboxes

Castlevania ReVamped Android APK v0.1.6

This release tightens the small candle hitboxes.

Fixed

• sprCandleBasic bbox changed from (-8,-10)-(23,24) to (0,0)-(15,15).
• sprCandleSub bbox changed from (-8,-10)-(23,24) to (0,0)-(15,15).

Why

Those 16x16 candle sprites had 32x35 collision boxes, so the debug overlay correctly showed a huge square, but the dimensions themselves were wrong for collision tuning.

Verification

• Built Android debug and release APKs with ./tools/build-android-apk.sh.
• Verified release APK signing and package identity: com.castlevania.revamped.

Castlevania ReVamped Android APK v0.1.5 - Rectangular Whip Hitboxes

Castlevania ReVamped Android APK v0.1.5

This release makes the whip's actual collision hitboxes rectangular and removes debug overlay labels.

Fixed

• Changed gameplay whip sprite collision settings from image/shape collision (collisionKind: 4) to rectangular bbox collision (collisionKind: 1) for all leather, morningstar, flame, ice, and thunder whip directions.
• Candles/breakables already use rectangular collision settings, so whip/lamp overlap now uses comparable rectangular dimensions.
• Removed hitbox text labels from the debug overlay. The overlay now just draws colored rectangles.

Why

The previous debug overlay showed rectangular bbox dimensions, but the whip gameplay collision still used a non-rectangular/image-derived collision mode. That meant the rectangle could visually overlap a candle while the built-in collision event still did not fire. This release makes the actual whip collision use the bbox dimensions shown by the overlay.

Verification

• Built Android debug and release APKs with ./tools/build-android-apk.sh.
• Verified release APK signing and package identity: com.castlevania.revamped.

Castlevania ReVamped Android APK v0.1.4 - Precise Hitbox Overlay

Castlevania ReVamped Android APK v0.1.4

This release corrects the debug overlay for precise/image-based whip masks.

Changed

• The whip debug overlay no longer draws the large bbox rectangle as the apparent hit area.
• Whip masks now draw as a tinted sprite/mask silhouette labelled WHIP PRECISE.
• The old rectangular bbox envelope remains only as a faint outline, so it is clear where rectangle overlap can be misleading.

Why

GameMaker's whip sprites use precise/image-based collision masks. Their bbox_* values describe only a broad envelope. That made the previous debug overlay look like the whip hitbox was a large square even when transparent edge pixels would not collide with lamps/breakables.

Verification

• Built Android debug and release APKs with ./tools/build-android-apk.sh.
• Verified release APK signing and package identity: com.castlevania.revamped.

Castlevania ReVamped Android APK v0.1.3 - Debug Hitboxes

Castlevania ReVamped Android APK v0.1.3

This release adds a visible Options-menu toggle for the debug hitbox overlay.

New

• Added Debug Hitboxes - [Off] On to the Options menu, immediately after Vibration.
• The option persists in Castlevania_Options.sav as debug_hitbox_overlay.
• When enabled, gameplay draws debug boxes for:
  • Simon/player mask
  • Whip mask
  • Enemy masks
  • Candle/breakable block masks
• Kept a fallback shortcut: Aimlock + Map / H, but the Options menu is now the intended control path.

Verification

• Built Android debug and release APKs with ./tools/build-android-apk.sh.
• Verified release APK package: com.castlevania.revamped.

Note

If you do not see the Debug Hitboxes row, you are still running an older APK. Install this release APK.

Castlevania ReVamped Android APK v0.1.0

Castlevania ReVamped Android APK Build

This release publishes an Android APK from the fork with the gameplay/control polish changes made in this branch.

Android build and controls

• Added a reproducible Android APK build workflow/script for the GameMaker project.
• Added Android package/icon/splash configuration needed for APK export.
• Added Android touch controls support and controller-first behavior.
• Added periodic Android gamepad_enumerate() refresh so Bluetooth/gamepad connections made after launch can be detected.

Combat and hit feedback

• Fixed point-blank whip attacks so enemies overlapping Simon can still be hit.
• Fixed point-blank whip attacks so nearby breakable objects can still be broken.
• Broadened whip collision boxes for more forgiving forward/up/down/diagonal hits.
• Tuned enemy hit feedback, including noisy impact screenshake and reduced enemy-hit freeze.
• Separated enemy kill/hit/environment shake intensity so player damage remains strongest, enemy kills are subtler, and environmental breaks are smaller.
• Reduced enemy hit immobilization by shortening enemy hurt i-frames and reducing global enemy hitstop slow strength.

Movement and feel

• Tuned fall speed and whip reach.
• Added slide jump-cancel while preserving the original slide hold behavior.
• Preserved Android gamepad support and trail lifecycle fixes while restoring dash speed/timing to the original feel.
• Added strict trail lifecycle cleanup: trail sprites only persist while Simon is actively dashing, sliding, or pounding.

Visual/UI polish

• Tuned CRT/old-TV feel and screenshake presentation.
• Added pickup magnetism/near-touch pickup polish.
• Centered Android icon and splash assets.

Verification

• Built Android debug and release APKs with the project build script.
• Installed and smoke-launched the debug APK on an Android device via adb.
• Checked logcat for fatal Android/GML runtime errors during smoke launch.
