Devlog #5 โ Consumable Shield, New Bomb Types, Boss Sleep & 2 New Levels
Hey everyone! A lot shipped this round:
**๐ก๏ธ Consumable Shield**
A new shield system with charge-based consumables. Pop a shield charge to
block incoming damage. Visual cue (PlayerConsumableShieldCue) shows remaining
charges around your character.
**๐ฃ New Bomb Types & Consumable Charges**
Expanded the bomb roster with new types, now tied into a consumable charge
system. More options, more decisions per run.
**๐ฅ 2 New Levels**
- Level 021 — The Ember Crucible: post-boss challenge stage
- Level 022 — Scorched Sanctum: post-challenge follow-up
Both are designed as late-game gauntlets after boss encounters.
**๐ Boss Sleep Mechanics**
Bosses now have a sleep state with HUD integration. Wake them at the wrong
moment and things escalate fast.
**๐ฅ Flames Block Movement**
Fire tiles now physically stop both player and enemy movement. Walking into
flames isn't just damage anymore — it's a wall.
**๐ง Under the Hood**
- BoardHazardRuntime introduced to own all hazard logic cleanly
- Status cue management consolidated
- Wall forced-snap logic added and tested
- Overlay mode refactored across multiple screens
- Bomb kick cooldown management added
- Enemy danger map logic improved
As always, feedback welcome — drop it in the comments!
