DEMO Kirby's Block Attack

[Chasman86]

STORY
Dreamland is threatened once again, with mysterious bricks appearing across the land and falling from the sky. Ribbon, Kirby's long lost companion from Planet Ripple Star, appears and explains that the evil Necrodeus of the Skull Gang has returned in search of the 5 Rainbow Gems, whose power would allow him to take over the galaxy. Unable to inhale or break the blocks by normal means, Ribbon bestows a mysterious power onto Kirby, which allows him to turn into a ball that would allow him to destroy the blocks covering their path. Kirby and Ribbon set off across Dreamland to collect the Rainbow Gems and stop Necrodeus before he shrouds everything, including Dreamland, into eternal darkness.

GAMEPLAY
This game takes heavy inspiration from Kirby's Block Ball (which the game was originally planned to be called Kirby's Block Ball 2), but turned into its own thing. The game plays similar to KBB, where you control a Star Bat to guide Ball Kirby across the level to destroy bricks, enemies, and grab collectables.
This game is a heavy work in progress, and some things have already been updated and changed from this Demo release.
While not fully implemented as of yet, copy abilities are already planned to be incorporated into later Worlds of the game. There is currently 2 power-ups available in Demo 1:
Invincibility Candy - allows Kirby to effortlessly break through blocks and enemies to clear the level faster.
Vacuum - Pulls in collectables through solid walls.


CONTROLS
Arrow Keys - Move the Star Bat
Spacebar - Bounce Ball Kirby to increase his speed and makes him temporarily invincible against the spiked floor.
Enter Key (while in level) - Pause Game
NOTE: The main menu uses the mouse controls.

NOTES
Everything in this demo is a work in progress and a lot will likely change during development. There are currently some minor collision bugs that may or may not appear. They are not game breaking from what I found, but the collision system is currently being updated a bit to make it even more reliable. Any feedback would be nice.

DEMO DOWNLOAD
The current demo contains all of World 1 (3 levels w/ a sub-boss and Main Boss), and part of World 2 (4 levels w/ a sub-boss). The lives system does not currently function 100% and nothing will happen once the counter reaches zero. Also, the way the demo is packaged will be updated in later builds, as the music system will be revamped completely.
As of right now, YOU MUST KEEP THE MUSIC FILES IN THE SAME FOLDER AS THE EXE, OR THERE WILL BE ERRORS. This will be fixed in a later update.
