Not too sure yet how necessary all of this is as I've just started but the base game is showing a lot of promise. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,964 717 113 England #4 psj3809, Feb 6, 2014 I was lucky enough to get an early copy of this, i'm really enjoying it, great retro graphics, a lot of different enemies, retro sound, nice small filesize, controls work well Well worth picking up PeteOzzy Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2013 4,596 3 0 Norwich, England #5 PeteOzzy, Feb 6, 2014 Yeah, this is really nice. Slower-paced combat than I imagined from the screenshots yet still with the potential to get suitably hectic. Loving the strategic parrying of blows and reflecting arrows. Lots of perks to mix up play styles and a fantastically retro audiovisual experience Nice long play sessions too, it's deceivingly deep - it's not how I imagined it at all!

I'm also not sure how to save the game, or if it saves when I close it or what bigred447uk Well-Known Member Apr 16, 2009 1,241 3 38 #9 bigred447uk, Feb 7, 2014 This is awesome. The combat is solid, the sprites are full of character and the sounds add to the gameplay. Really really enjoying this. Bought doubler to support dev.

I don't want it to be a grind but I don't it to be a breeze either undeadcow Well-Known Member Dec 4, 2010 9,486 2 36 Houston, TX #11 undeadcow, Feb 7, 2014 Nice. Off to download now. Only One looks too good to be true from the screenshots. worldcitizen1919 Well-Known Member Jun 27, 2012 1,615 0 36 #12 worldcitizen1919, Feb 7, 2014 No multiplayer?? Aw shucks!! I'd love to throw some of you guys of your pedestal but alas -not to be. This would be superfun supercool multiplayer!!! Please MULTIPLAYER.

RebelBinary Well-Known Member Jun 11, 2012 160 7 18 Software Developer/Designer Ottawa, Canada #16 RebelBinary, Feb 7, 2014 Hey guys, thanks for checking out the game I have update that will be out next week or maybe even before the weekend I hope. I just want to say that the action does start very easy, slow and <shudder> may seem a bit boring, but once you hit 30 things get really hard. It's because I made it easy so kids like my 7 year old brother could get into it and even a few of my non gamer friends won't be easily destroyed. Also the level 40 boss is right now too overpowered (but next update will fix that). I have an update that's still waiting for review that will fix some of this and balance a few issues and then another update that I will do after that that will increase difficulty earlier by a bit. The Android version will have this out the gate, unfortunately but that's Apple's approval process for you. Push does reflect Arrows but at random angles and pushed arrows will damage enemies, you can also get an upgrade "reflektor" that reflects arrows and damages slimes that hit your shield worldcitizen1919 Well-Known Member Jun 27, 2012 1,615 0 36 #17 worldcitizen1919, Feb 7, 2014 Is there any way of moving the controls? On ipad its very difficult to move because the joystick is right in the corner. I need it higher up. Until then not really playable for me. Floating joystick would be ideal for me. gamer456ism Well-Known Member Nov 28, 2013 106 0 0 #18 gamer456ism, Feb 7, 2014 Same undeadcow Well-Known Member Dec 4, 2010 9,486 2 36 Houston, TX #19 undeadcow, Feb 7, 2014 So far I'm not disappointed. It does start off slow, but I understand the developer's intent. This is just the a comedic pixel art arena brawler with classy animations not sparse on blood spatter that I've been looking for. worldcitizen1919 Well-Known Member Jun 27, 2012 1,615 0 36 #20 worldcitizen1919, Feb 7, 2014 I love this game too but can't play with the controls they way they are. Trying to navigate my thumb in the right hand corner of my ipad is very difficult. A floating joystick or an adjustable one to place it where I want would be better but until then basically unplayable for me. I'm ready to support it if you can fix that.
