Some certain pony told me they didn't see jumping Twilight in a while -- how about seeing Twilight and her speedrun strats? 

Ran the game just to get some material (screenshots) to work with and I didn't have to play long to break the game with my epic skills. 

I mean, it's kinda fun to have such glitches, so that people can creatively use these in speedruns, but thaaat one is too easy to perform, too OP. 

I haven't checked the code yet, but at first glance I suspect the code order is to blame.
The thing is, that when Twilight is squeezing, unable to get up (the forced ducking state), she's also unable to jump (to prevent from these things happening lol). Buuut it looks like if you start squeezing through such passages and immediately jump (basically approach the wall, then hit DOWN+RIGHT+JUMP), she will enter the passage and jump even though she should not and due to her hitbox getting stuck in the walls, she'll end up being teleported away.

It's been ages a while since I was working with her code, but obviously the 'forced' state is applied too late, by a single frame. If I remember my code correctly, the check for forced ducking state is executed before or after the movement in general (walking&jumping), so she can move by these few pixels and jump in a single frame, before the next check will be run (either at the end of the code or at the beginning in the next frame). I didn't think of it, heh. Well anyway, the solution is simple, I'll have to move that check, so that it is executed after movement, but before jumping. ez  

The teleporting though... It's how I wrote collision (cheap magic to keep player away from walls) and while everything works, it doesn't like when somebody manages to get stuck in the wall, heh. Generally there should be no way to get stuck, but the more I play, the more features I add, the more I realize, that ... things just happen and I definitely should consider handling such circumstances in a less aggressive way. Someday I'll have to reimagine how everything should work and I guess... I'll have to rewrite a lot of code. 

Ooookay, I think I'm done toying with these icons, at least for now.

...and with that, I've did some progress on the game's page (nothing epic to see there tho). Of course, it all is still a work in progress, but I got it to a state, where it doesn't look like a complete mess. 

---A thread on the forums will be posted once there'll be a playable build---

Mmm polished spoilers on the site  

It's like opening treasure chests! 

And I've been working further on the actual content (the page for Shattered Harmony) and after preparing some images (namely drawing more spell icons to show them all on the page), I kind of came to the point, where I want to modify the spell icons, because I kind of drew stuff randomly at first and next icons kiiiiiiiinda don't match, so I'll have to approach it all properly and try to keep one style.

For example, here's element of honesty;

 BEFORE (already was in game for a long time, looks more like a pineapple)

 AFTER (new icon, more accurate to the original look, colors also more accurate)

What kinda irks me is that there's no center in these 16x16 icons. It's hard to align these nicely without making double-pixel-center, which is what I did at first.

The thing is, that double-pixel centers make the icons less accurate to their actual look by making them.... fat.

Some more examples I worked on today:

 BEFORE (new icon in old style)

 AFTER (new icon in the new, thinner style or something)

 BEFORE (new icon in old style, too fat but actually looks somewhat niiiice in pixel art(?) )

 AFTER (new icon in new style, now it looks too squished on the other hoof lol)

...Hmm... Now when I look at these when placed next to each other, the old style didn't look thaaat bad I think... maybe..?

Anyway, these are work in progress; haven't really finished them, as it's past 7AM and it's time for me to go to sleep!!!
