Hatch Flap Update #2 – One step closer

Hatch Flap · published 6 Aug 2026, 03:17 UTC

All eventsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

New stuff 💡

  • Added leaf effect in level 1-2 for when entering bushes and getting out

  • Added a secret action triggered by repeatedly crouching in quick succession

  • Hatch Flap title now says “DEMO” instead of “1.0” to represent the build better

  • Removed the Discord choice in the Title*

    • *This is because I do not plan on managing a Discord server and I prefer to centralize my efforts in one spot, such as YouTube (for trailers and such) and Steam.

  • Added an ending to the Demo

Quality of Life (QoL) ✨

  • Hatch Flap will now remain in your Wishlist even if you got a key or the demo installed, which wasn’t the case previously

  • On single player, both flamingos goes into a pose when collecting the wing at the end of a level instead of the main player only

  • Backing out in menus now doesn't go to the THUNDER CANDY logo, it quits the game

  • Added a few new prompts to avoid quitting certain menu or the game accidentally

  • Added a notification when collecting an object (like a fruit), detailing the reward

  • Added more words for comprehension (English only for now)

  • More obstacles can be kicked instead of simply ignoring the kicks

  • Added codex progression on your save file in main menu

Bug fix 🛠️

  • Fixed music not resuming after colliding with a checkpoint

  • Fixed music resuming too early when unpausing during checkpoint animation

Level 1-1 ☁️

  • Ruby now counter attacks if you are too aggressive (You cannot extend a combo a do a full bar health damage anymore)

  • Ruby can now do a special attack: Sparkly Arc*

    • Sparkly Arc allows Ruby to throw gem stones in the air and make them chase you

  • Unpausing while having an instrument no longer resumes the music

*The reason the Ruby was buffed again was to make it an actual challenge because as of right now, the ruby can be one shot by a continuous combo.

Level 1-2 🪨

  • Fixed music not playing after ending banana fight in 1-2

  • Fixed music not playing while in banana fight in 1-2

  • Fixed Paizou Miel-Zoo not attacking at all

What's next?🎈

Here is an approximate completion of my tasks before demo launch

Sound [10%]

  • Some sound will not work, or be empty.

  • Adding sound is the very last step before completing the demo

Music [100%]

  • The music has already been done, and then some!

Programming [90%]

  • A few tweaks and bug fixes, nothing too complicated

Drawing [90%]

  • This one is a bit more complex, but most obstacles are done and satisfactory.

  • A few more drawings would be certain additional prompt in the menu, obstacles or additional effects added along the way

Testing [50%]

  • Every time something new is added, it needs to be tested;

    • single-player,

    • co-op,

    • with this option or that option on,

    • after dying once,

    • or swapping players,

    • while in a certain state, etc. etc.

With the new graphics and sounds loading, I need to ensure it is loaded properly on Windows or Linux and no matter how a person reaches a certain room. Currently, some sounds do not load because they’re not loaded properly in memory or don’t unload the way I want to.
