    Looks great. The left/right buttons look a bit close together?

    I'll be picking this one up for sure. Love a bit of old skool platforming action

    This looks like a frightfully hard platformsr! All the extras stuff you end up doing is wild. Good job on this my friend! I'll be getting this. What did you use for development if I may ask?

    Look hard and great. I think that it will be a HIT when you releases it, @cbecks_noble.

    Art style looks lovely. Any info on pricing? Contrary to what's been said, I actually hope it'll be a premium experience. Either way, I'll be picking it up and all the best for release :)

    Thanks so much. We are hoping to request beta testers (although my kids have been beta testing all the way along) soon and then release early June depending on apple review love. :D

    It makes my kids and I so happy to hear that people are digging Darthy. It has been a great experience making it together and we wanted to keep Darthy simple so all the kids friends could play the full game for free.

    Right now we have 1 iap to remove Ads - the Ad comes up every 7-10 deaths and 1 iap - skip to next checkpoint. Every time you spawn you get 5 fireballs for protection. cheers

    Awesome!
    Though, I'm worried about the controls. Is the direction pad action setup as semi diagonal sectors as shown on the overlay or is it the normal left/right sectors?
