MAJOR HOOT ETERNAL UPDATE

• Added a main menu, with a level select, class select, it’s own theme song, and much more.
• Added a CLASSES system to HOOT ETERNAL
  • Each class has different stats (Health, Speed, Passive Skills, Active Skills). You can see all of this in the HOOT ETERNAL Main Menu.
  • Four classes are currently available: The Factory-New, The Agile, The Tank, and The Reckless.
  • Selecting a class DOES NOT override your customization options.
  • A class quick-switcher is also available in-game by pressing Esc and selecting the desired class in the menu on the top.
• The Revolver now has a unique shooting animation and a slight remodel.
• The Dynamites now have a unique throwing animation.
• Remade the explosion particles and reduced the clutter they caused.
• Added an “Autorun” option (Run by default, Walk by holding shift) to the settings menu. Works outside of HOOT too!
• Melee Rewrite
  • Melee attacks are more consistent now.
  • Added Melee damage randomization, like the other weapons.
  • In addition to this, Melee attacks now have a 10% chance of being a Crit, dealing 1.35x damage, indicated by a yellow damage number.
• Improvements to the HUD
  • Shortened “HEALTH” as “HP”.
  • Changed “TIME” and “KEYS” to icons.
  • Removed “WEAPON” text and lowered the sprite to accommodate.
• Overhauled the Crosshair, it now represents the accuracy of your weapon rather than simply being a static image.
