Developer Note: Got a decent amount of stuff done! Theres not really any new content, except for the big blok fight sooooo id say this is closer to a patch than an update. Though I DOOOOO plan to add more things later down the line…this is it for now. as i said in a different topic of mine, im slowly drifting away from makecode and im starting to do other things. Not gone, just not completely here.

Thanks for playing!!

You made a 1.7 patch update before me…  
This is a declaration of war!

Wait… This is **Sir PixelDoodle The Javaknight** we’re talking about, he can’t be beaten by someone like **CopySprite The Thief**. This is not a declaration of war.

_I’ll still make a game better than Pixel Smash one day…_

Could you maybe include some checkpoints? I was one hit off killing big Blok when it glitched, and even though I clicked the circle went past (not your fault, makecode is glitchy). I then died and had to restart the whole game! I guess it just frustrates me a bit how slow some of the fights are, as cutscenes and stuff make it LONG. I did enjoy the big Blok fight though.
