Hammercide version archive

I've uploaded every old version of Hammercide I own here for archival purposes.  I've provided the corresponding file name, date downloaded (usually the same as the date released), and the version number when possible.  Some of these versions are very unique in many different ways.  Some are from before staples of combat such as the charge, and some contain an early version of S-3 with a completely different texture,  referred to as "castle" in the code.   I will log the version number and all changes I'm aware of here:

Hammin.zip (1/7/2023): Pre-0.3, unknown version number.  The oldest version of Hammercide.  Completely different from modern hammercide: it contains all of world 1 and nothing else, all enemies are red prisms, You can hold ctrl to slide, which is the equivalent of the dash until V0.4.1, there is no music whatsoever, the menu is completely different (contains a room with the finish orb and the menu UI over it).  The Spiker's design is much different, as it is a prism covered in spike traps rather than being completely made of them.  The game's resolution decreases significantly while at low health.  Fran is not present in 1-4.  The hammer throw has a very high cooldown.  The FOV is unbearably low.  Zaron is slightly different; he is pinkish-red rather than purple and there are no pillars in the corners of the arena, and there is no exit portal under him.  There is no end screen as far as I'm aware.

Hammin v0.3.zip (1/8/2023): Pre-0.3 (probably before version 0.3, as 0.3 is the version which added the grenades), unknown version number.  The enemies are now purple instead of red and music plays but does not loop. Zaron has his current texture.

Hammin (1).zip (1/15/2023): Pre-0.3, unknown version number.  The menu screen is new, resembling the end screen in later versions.  Music now loops. The slide is significantly faste.

Hammercide.zip (1/20/2023): V0.3. The first version of Hammercide rather than Hammin.  Contains all levels up to 2-3 (i think), has the grenade (which does 40 damage), does not have the charge.  The menu is extremely simple, only containing the play and exit buttons.  The FOV is slightly higher than hammin (1) but lower than usual.  Sawbots, Rangers, and Spikers all have their normal designs.  Fran appears in 1-4.

Hammercide (1).zip (1/20/2023): V0.3.1. this also has no version number.  Endless mode is now avalible on the menu.  Endless mode plays Zaron's boss theme instead of the endless theme and will crash upon completing wave 1.

Hammercide (2).zip (1/23/2023): V0.4.1. no version number.  The charge is implemented here but it is noticeably different: It gives much less vertical velocity and deals contact damage, usually enough to oneshot sawbots even if you dont attack them.  Endless mode also fully works in this version.  This is the first version I would actually recommend playing.

Hammercide (3).zip (1/26/2023): V0.5. Adds the pillars to endless mode and a wave counter, and seas of spike balls will not spawn as often.  There is now a keypad on the main menu and the code is 31298.  It will take you to a silent gray room with 3 identical keypads on the wall. 

The first keypad's code is 666.  It takes you to a black void where 8 Frans stand in a circle around you, chanting Fran's theme at various pitches. A red light is also present here but is only visible on the small platform and your hammer.  You can jump into the void but there is nothing there.  As far as I'm aware this is a softlock.

The second keypad's code is 51255, and it takes you to 2-1.

The third keypad's code is 6969, and it takes you to endless mode.

Hammercide (4).zip (1/28/2023): V0.6. I believe this is the first version of the game to contain Omicron, and also the first version of the game to contain boss health bars. 

Hammercide (5).zip (1/29/2023): V0.6.1. the first version to contain the level select.

Hammercide (6).zip (1/29/2023): V0.6.11. same as 0.6.1 but world 1 actually works now.  This is the version I made my ~5 min speedrun video on

Hammercide (7).zip (1/30/2023): V0.6.2. the first version to have the version number on the menu screen.  Omicron has a new attack and some enemies have predictive aiming.

Hammercide (8).zip (2/2/2023): V0.6.3. Says 0.6.2 on the menu but that is wrong.  Contains 2 new levels on the menu: 3-1 and BOX. 3-1 is a fully functional version of 3.1, and BOX is a test level containing lots of boxes and around 3-4 box mimics.  It is called "BoxHell" in the game files.  You can now press esc to return to the main menu

Hammercide (9).zip (2/4/2023): V0.6.4. BOX is replaced with "test level", which contains a small room with the power hammer in it.  This room has the same dimensions as the beginning of 3.2.  This is the first version containing the power hammer.

Hammercide (10).zip (2/11/2023): I am genuinely unsure if this is V0.6.5 or a hidden version between V0.6.4 and V0.6.5. test level is replaced with 3-2, but the entrance to Mecha Fran's arena is not present.  If you visit Fran in 1-4, he will give you the katana.

Hammercide (11).zip (2/14/2023): V0.6.5 or maybe V0.6.6 (it says  V0.6.5 on the menu). A second keypad has appeared on the main menu and the code is 6969. It takes you to the dev cheat room which contains all the weapons.  test level's name on the menu is now 3-2.  The ballin' chain is replaced with a pink ball which is incredibly fast and bouncy and leaves behind a blue trail.  The keypad room has been replaced with Gun Guy's boss arena (Gun Guy was the precursor to master saw, and he was reimplemented in V0.12.0 as Revolver Dude), and gun guy's boss theme is also Secret Boss 1 (master saw's theme)

Hammercide (12).zip (2/16/2023): V0.6.7. Contains the level editor.  Mecha fran's entrance is still inaccessible.  The ball now has the omicron texture.

Hammercide (13).zip (2/18/2023): V0.6.8. Mecha Fran is now accessible but he only has his first phase.  It has much more health to compensate.  He is also missing his homing rocket attack.  His minigun attack shoots bouncing orng bullets instead of what he shoots currently.

Hammercide (14).zip (2/19/2023): V0.6.9. Mecha Fran's second phase is fully implemented, but both phases are still missing the homing rocket attack.

Hammercide (15).zip (2/25/2023): V0.6.9 maybe? The dev room now contains Master saw but he is noticeably different.  He is purple and has the zaron material instead of the omicron material, and has much less health and attacks slower than his modern counterpart.  Parrying is also introduced in this update.

Hammercide (16).zip (4/3/2023): V0.7.  Master saw is now updated to his modern state, complete with his second phase.  However, he has a strange new boss theme (called "coolPianothing.ogg" in the game files). 3-3 and 3-4 are now fully implemented, but beating 3-4 will take you to a strange unimplemented world.  This resembles the beginning of S-3, but has a new material (called CastleBrick in the game files) which is a dark, reflective teal.  Numerous new enemies are found here, including the Energy Elemental, Abomination, and Failure.

Hammercide (17).zip (4/13/2023): also V0.7? This contains the rest of the features stated in the devlog for 0.7, including post processing, 3-5, and the house stage.  This version has an ungodly amount of motion blur if post processing is left on. Gun Guy's arena is replaced with that of Master Saw.  Master Saw's arena in the dev room is gone.  Endless mode does not work, as the first wave doesn't spawn (it works in hammercide 16).

Hammercide (18).zip (4/13/2023): V0.7, but without the motion blur

Hammercide (19).zip (6/4/2023): V0.7.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1. endless mode is fixed.

Hammercide (2) (1).zip (8/11/2023): V0.8.0. Adds Jim, although he has a ludicrous amount of health.  Entering the trapdoor in your house's closet takes you to Jim's fight, but it plays the house theme instead of his boss theme.  Jim is accessible from the main menu.
