Strato Freaks 2 (Dev Log 9: Freak Forest WIP 1)
Here's one of the new levels! This is the second actual level after Super Freaks Stadium (I say actual since there will be another intro level). This one came together crazy fast. This level is basically an introduction to the Number Stars (returning from Super Freaks 1 Ultimate Edition) so it was very easy to design around that.
The background is by my good friend @metalefactor1735; I'll be touching it up to fit the art style more but I already like it as-is, the freaky freak bushes at the bottom of the screen are a really funny detail. The music track by @philosophicalracoon @philRacoindie @philR_aco_ is one of his very best too, IMO
All that's missing from here is the boss, which is gonna be another Metal Petal fight. If you've played the demos and played Strato 1's Picnic Plains you'll probably nice Metal Petal's life bar there says "Metal Petal (Classic)" and that's why. Since he was Strato 1's first actual boss fight it felt right giving him a new fight in 2, though don't expect too many returning bosses from 1 otherwise; most of the bosses are gonna be the ones from 1 Ultimate Edition and the Ribsons this time around.
