    Yeah, I think that would work great. I'm still working on the hardest levels, so I've still got work to do.

    Yeah some of those levels are ridiculously hard! They are definitely expert levels. Thanks for playing :)

    Very much enjoying the game so far. Here's a couple first reactions.

    1. I'd keep this game on my phone! It's that good :)

    2. I'm really impressed by how fast it moves but how tight the controls are. I find myself doing things that look really hard but are actually easy to do. Incredibly satisfying!

    3. It wasn't immediately apparent to me that skull box was locked, and that the skeleton key related to it. Sure it only took me ten seconds to figure it out, but it stuck in my mind.

    4. Animation on the reaper character could be smoother. A little jerky at times or something. His walking looks awkward.

    5. It's cool that there are different skins for main character, but it would be nice if I had a reason to be happy to unlock them. Right now, having them all unlocked upfront seems a bit anticlimactic. Perhaps fhey can be rewards or something.

    I'll give more feedback as I play more. In the meantime feel free to direct message me if you want any more detailed feedback.

    Hey weretiger!

    Thanks for the feedback, you made great points. We're thrilled you would keep this on your iphone :)

    I'll send you a message soon.

    Side note: Anyone have a good sound designer recommendation? We'd really love to beef up the experience with some quality sound. Thanks!

    Cheers,
    Brian

    As a beta tester, I can genuinely say that this is one of my favorite puzzler/Platformer games out there. Creative and cute graphics. Well thought out or designed levels.
    Definitely one to get.

    In the beginning of testing I found things worth discussing with the dev, and the dev always responded immediately and appropriately.
    But now, no glitches, or issues. Runs smooth.

    Thanks Lavender! Great to have a recommendation from a senior member of Touch Arcade :)

    I believe you were the one that messaged me about the end-goal? We've fixed that!

    Cheers,
    Brian

    I really wasn't expecting a story since I always considered this more of a puzzle game, but hey, that makes it even better. Also, I'm looking forward to the refined level editor, but I do agree that both it and the character selection will probably take away from the feel of the game, at least currently. Any details about the story you can give us, like which rabbit made the cut?

    Hi Spock!

    Glad you agree about the characters.

    There won't be story in the traditional sense of having a lot of dialogue. A big reason for us iterating on the story was so we had a clear vision and understanding for the characters and their motivations. The actual game will be very light on story.

    The rabbit you play will be a "king". That's all I will say for right now! :)

    Cheers,
    Brian

    I just got in the beta and played the first chapter, and I have to say, this one is really great! Sadly I just discovered it today, but I sure will try to play as much as i can before the beta expires. Will post more impresseions later, thanks for letting me in!

    Lots of visual polish going in right now.

    - Larvae that you can squish but don't do anything else
    - Better effects
    - Shaders
    - Better sound
    - Hugely improved UI
    - Transition screens and title screens

    - Level design polish
    - More bugs?

    I keep forgetting to try out your other game. I also keep forgetting that you are a two man studio. I await the release!
