    The game is fairly beatable without picking up even a single item, has less to do with health and damage than knowing how to dispatch each type of enemy without risk. The base damage you start with can carry you pretty much all the way through.

    Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who plays Dandy like an 8/16-bit hardcore shmup/platformer. Contra, R-Type, Ghost n' Goblins, that sort of stuff.

    To think you and I didn't see eye to eye at one point. ;)

    Favorite post in a long time!

    Alright Day 2 for Spoilers, another smallish one. Hope you guys had a good labor day.

    Gonna try just linking to the blog today, lemme know if that's a problem.

    Hey, glad you took the plunge and got a copy of the game! We're definitely working on adding some more variability between runs. We love the dynamic the angel globs create, and we want to expand on that concept in a big way. I also think it'd be cool to introduce choices that let you decide what kind of run you want to have, more than just the power ups.

    We still want the game to be heavily skill based, and even now with some knowledge of the items you can definitely get very OP.

    Once the update is out i'll post a list of what we're working on or thinking about, and probably open up the conversation a little more. No need to be secretive :)

    I'm already thinking of the various other Dandy get-ups that would look cool or weird with that beard. Boo Hoo Moo Melt would be some thing, maybe with a bit of Coffee thrown in!

    I have been playing the game on an iPad 4 and have noticed a bug. At "random", the game freezes for a second and the character is pushed to the far left on the screen. This freeze causes numerous problems - being struck by an enemy/projectile, bypassing the end of wave reward, instant death, or screen persist glitches. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Hey guys! Cool to see a few of you are starting to beat the game. I said I'd have new spoiler on Thursday, but it's been pretty hectic trying to get everything done. I'll try and get a proper spoiler ready soon, but no promises for now.

    Hey MathFan, thanks for letting us know, we'll look into it.

    Hey ya'll, just made a big blog post about the update. You can find it here.

    Let me know your thoughts! Some of this stuff isn't entirely finalized so I'd love to get your feedback before it's out.

    I definitely was,
    Now there's no going back. Candy will be my doom. Trapped forever in this endless pit.

    I put my iPhone down after that moment, but was very happy to see that (spoiler alert city!!)
    there are another 3 candy items waiting to be selected when you start the game back up after beating it for the fourth time, and that this isn't THE ending of the game. Just the start of some kind of "hardcore" mode.
    :)

    And one of those items
    requires you to beat the game without any power ups. I barely made it to 2 screens ways from the final boss before dying :-(
