  • New Enemy Types Added: Introduced spiders (etype 10), mutated spiders (etype 11), ceiling-dropping spiders (etype 12), ghosts (etype 13), banshees (etype 14), and zombies (etype 15). These are integrated into procedural generation, especially in haunted mansion (currentLevel == 5) and cemetery modes, with specific behaviors like dropping from ceiling, flying, shooting for banshees, and slow movement for zombies.
  • Haunted Mansion Level: Added a new level (currentLevel == 5) accessible via a red front door (PlatformType.HAUNTED_DOOR). Includes custom platform textures with webs and cracks, darker sky, and enemy weights favoring new haunted enemies.
  • Web Door Mechanic: Added PlatformType.WEB_DOOR in haunted mansion, requiring pressing 'E' twice to pass through (tracked by webPressCount). It's the only exit, displayed with web lines and interaction prompt.
  • Cemetery Mode: Upon exiting haunted mansion via web door, enters cemetery mode (cemeteryMode = true) with zombie enemies (etype 15), gray platforms resembling tombstones, darker sky, and a fixed length (500 units) before returning to normal overworld.
  • Shop NPC and Menu Access: Added NPC class for feline-looking shopkeeper in haunted mansion. Press 'E' near NPC to open shop menu. Shop now includes potion purchases: Thin Potion (ptype 0, 20 cookies), Speed Potion (ptype 1, 20 cookies), Bigger Potion (ptype 2, 20 cookies), Dash Potion (ptype 3, 20 cookies), with descriptions in menu.
  • Increased Unicorn and Leprechaun Frequency: In rainbow world (currentLevel == 4), increased weights for unicorns (etype 8) and leprechauns (etype 9) from 1.5prog to 2.5prog for more frequent appearances.
  • Control Improvements: Addressed finicky/unresponsive controls by ensuring jumpRequested and downRequested are properly handled in draw(), with better controller input detection and key binding flexibility. Store button now reliably appears when totalCookies >= 50.
  • Platform and Sky Updates: Added haunted-specific textures for SOLID platforms (purple background with webs/cracks) and cemetery (gray with tombstone elements). Sky creation now supports haunted and cemetery modes with darker gradients.
  • Enemy Drawing Enhancements: Added custom drawing for new enemies: spiders with legs and eyes, mutated with larger eyes, ceiling with web line, ghosts semi-transparent with eyes, banshees rectangular with red eyes, zombies green with red eyes.
  • Interaction Prompts: Added prompts for web door ("Press E twice to go through") and NPC ("Press E to interact").
  • Cemetery Gate Exit: Cemetery ends automatically after 500 units traveled, resetting to normal mode (implied gate reached without zombies eating player, but player can still die to zombies).
  • Bug Fixes and Balancing: Ensured store button appears at 50 cookies, adjusted enemy spacing and probabilities, added durability handling for weapons against new enemies, and integrated new types into collision and update logic.
