Behold the big bad of World 4 - the Countess! With a wide array of projectile-based attacks and a fast-paced second phase, the Countess serves as the challenging finale to this late-game world.

Something dark lies in wait for you within the tall towers at end of World 4...

For our last stop in World 4, we have the Twilight Towers! Get ready to pull of some cool moves in this stage as you wall jump off banners, burst into the air with para-potions, and zip across grind rails!

Venturing further into World 4, we have the Labyrinthine Library! Make use of the Portal Books to warp around the enchanted halls of this stage, and don't forget to keep quiet please!

Up next for completed world 4 stages, we have Poltervac Passage! Make use of your new Poltervac to suck things up and shoot them out as powerful projectiles. You can also pull off some crazy movement!

Here we go, a look at the first complete World 4 stage, the Stinky Sewer! Throughout this stage you'll find shrinking pipes that allow you to freely change your size to overcome obstacles both big and small!

Another development update, 4-2 and 4-3 are both complete, and 4-4's stage design in now in progress. Once that's done, I'll likely begin designing the backgrounds for the world 4 stages.

And finally we have some some world 4 sprites to show off! Things are still in the works here though, but progress is coming along nicely.

Shhhhhh! These blindfolded ghouls may not be able to see, but they can hear just about anything. Make too much noise around them, and they'll give chase!

Bit of a development update, the level designs for world 4 are now in the works! 4-1 is already functionally complete, (check out these new shrinking pipes), and 4-2 is well underway and coming along nicely.

Won't have much to share gameplay-wise for a bit since I'm currently working on a bunch of back-end stuff for Candy Quest. So, I'm gonna share some sprite work in the meantime, starting off with the Fall Forest!

Sprites from the Fall Forest. Including the player, collectable items, enemies, and more.

For those of you who like to go fast, check out the brand new Crouch Hop move! Although the hop itself is quite low, it gives you a significant burst of speed that you can maintain through constant jumping!

Here's the current handful of baddies from 4-4. With the focus of this level being on all of the movement-related mechanics, each of these enemies is able to interact with them. Also rail grinding skeletons are just cool.

I'm kinda going all out for 4-4 with the movement options. We got grind rails, potions that give you a big swirling boost, and banners you can wall jump off of! And wow is it fun to string a bunch of these together!

And here's the rest of the stuff from 4-3, the main feature to note being the portal books! Although here they're set up in a rather simple manner for testing, I'll make sure they'll be put to good use in the real level.

Here's some of the bits and bobs for 4-3. Overall all of world 4's main level mechanics/enemies are nearly complete. I'm just about to start the functionality for 4-4's, then it'll be working on the level designs next!
