Please do not share these links with anyone, I'm heavily reliant on your support and that of others!

What's new:
- Four new enemies in level 4
- A new password system and locked progression (passwords are in the README)
- Level lengths reworked (level 1 was incorrectly set to be very long)
- New song for level 4, it's a banger!
- Animation bug for level 3 enemies fixed (our script didn't count the last frames properly)

Coming in early 2023:
- One more enemy for level 4, and one extra event
- Mini bossfight with Leslie at the end of lvl 4!
- More knock-out animations for existing enemies (like Ray and Alex)
- Update on the struggle system!

Known bugs:

- If you do a slide attack and during the animation try to do a special attack, Max will freeze in place and you're stuck until you reset. Sorry!

The gallery for level 4 is not working yet! It will come later as well.

If you find new bugs or problems:

We have a channel on discord (#playtester comments) where you can post your thoughts and findings, You can also message me directly about big bugs but I mostly prefer to be contacted on the discord server.

Troubleshooting:

Q: How do I open the .RAR file?
A .rar file is a compressed package of multiple files together, you will need a (very commonly used) tool to extract it. You can use either WinZip, WinRar or 7zip to do this, I would recommend 7zip, since it's open source and completely free.
https://www.7-zip.org/

(You can get the "64-bit x64" version, unless your computer is very old and running on 32-bit x86, if you're not sure you can check like this:
Click the Start button, then choose Settings. Select System. Choose About. Check the bit version on the System type field.)

Once you have your compression tool installed, right-click "MtE v4.00 windows.rar" and find the "extract here" option. After extracting you can run "Max_The_Elf_DEMO" to play the game.

Q: How do I resize the game window? Sorry, but the game is forced to launch at 1280 x 720. If you want to make the game bigger: On windows: If you make a shortcut for "Max_The_Elf_DEMO", then go to properties of the shortcut, and add " -screen-width 1920 -screen-height 1080 -screen-fullscreen 1 " to the [target/destination (translated from dutch)] property, it will launch with those settings!
