It’s here! As promised, Mega Man X joins the list of available characters of Bass Abyss. Yes, he can climb walls, dash, and do all the standard movements you’ve enjoyed in Fall of 21XX. I was not going to settle for less, no sir. It took its time, but everything is ported, implemented, and fine-tuned.

Air Dash

Actually, I decided to push a little forward and enable Air Dash. This is the ability to dash while in the air. Why? Isn’t this like too easy? Well, yeah, but it is fun. Actually, after watching some videos on YouTube, it seems like, given the choice, players rather do the Air Dash instead of the Dash Jump (jump from a wall holding dash). I consider the latter a basic move since Mega Man X1, albeit maybe a little more complicated, even more with the keyboard. Oh well. So, that’s the reason for this decision. Air Dash to the rescue.

Keyboard warning

A little warning. For the first time in my life, I ran into a keyboard that doesn’t support CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE. So, essentially I can’t play Bass Abyss with my default controls! This was rather unpleasant. I did manage to play using JoyToKey, but that should be optional. Well, this is a hardware issue beyond my control. But I do blame the keyboard manufacturer. When I can’t even do CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+S, which is a standard shortcut in Photoshop, I can’t be the one at fault. If Adobe is expecting this to work, so do I. Keyboards are cheap, do yourself a favor and get a decent one.

Background issues

Back to Bass Abyss, you’ll notice a little glitch in the background. That’s because that was something I was working on before I decided to put that development on hold and enable X gameplay. I’ll try to fix that for the next update, even though I already got distracted with something else. I’ll let you guys know soon!

As usual, be sure to clear your browser cache at least once in order to force a download of the full updated game files. There is no need to do that afterward.

Have fun!
