    Thank you so much guys! You are the best of the best. I have received many quality feedbacks and with your help JackQuest will become a great game.

    I'm getting a lot of requests for access to TestFlight (PM, email Twitter), I will add only the applications before this my message, I believe we have a good number of testers.

    Many thanks to all, soon I will be posting here some news.

    Netox you getting a bunch of people saying that first boss is way too easy? I’m just curious. I wonder how hard you are wanting it to be? I could understand in some ways how the first boss should be really easy just kinda like a “This is how a boss battle in this game goes, but the others are harder” introductory thing. But depending on how many bosses there are total in the whole game some players may feel cheated with one so simple lol. I mean I was able to beat him without him hitting me once.

    Thanks for the tip, I already have the roadmap to increase the difficulty, but it will only be in the first attack, I believe the other two attacks the difficulty is balanced.

    Progress to next update 13/20 (adjustments and fixs)

    Attack sequence(combos). More coins!

    Hey Netox,

    First of all the game controls are spot on with responsiveness and smoothness. I do enjoy a good platformer.

    First thing I noticed was after I saved, I went through some areas and got the heart and some more money. I went back and saved again before I died and noticed the heart was still with me but the money I accumulated was not. Is there a reason for this? That I have to go back and collect that money again? I mean I guess it could prevent just replaying same portions and accruing lots of money but the saves can only be done as long as you have a blue gem/stone thingy I think. Idk just confused.

    Also I freaking love the hidden areas that are in here as well. Always a fan of secrets :)

    Great game so far and can’t wait to finish more of it!

    Are the boots anywhere in the beta? I’m missing them if they are and that makes me sad haha

    Good luck guys!

    Thanks for play my game! I never heard nothing about this problem with the coins on the save! But I will check for sure.

    You get the boots when defeat the boss :)

    Yeah if you save at the part before the heart. Then get the heart and all the gold on the way back and save again your gold starts over from the first save you did there but your heart remains. Didn’t know if it was meant to happen or not.

    Also no wonder I don’t have the boots I haven’t been able to kill the slime yet cause I’m a noob haha

    Technically shouldn’t have been able to get the heart either. Even the dev said you’re supposed to have the boots to safely get back from grabbin it :p thats why the game is telling you to quit jumping ahead :p
