Liontech Studios Well-Known Member Feb 4, 2020 112 31 28 #4 Liontech Studios, Nov 12, 2020 Another amazing concept from Darius. Love all your previous games and excited for this one too.

I love everything Darius creates, but this one stands out to me due to the simplified touch controls. This is going to be big! DariusGuerrero Well-Known Member Jul 25, 2016 336 123 43 Male Game Developer http://www.appsirgames.com/ #9 DariusGuerrero, Nov 12, 2020 Yes. On screen controls was one of the things I had considered for choosing this new gameplay mechanic. You can just tap the left half of your screen to rotate the platforms counterclockwise, and the right half to rotate it clockwise. The placing of the controls was one of the few things people complain about from previous games, so this change was needed. Hope the change can help it beat the 4.8 out of 5 stars for DERE EVIL EXE. Haha! And hopefully it does get big! Thank you so much AaroArts Well-Known Member Jan 10, 2016 114 71 28 Indie Developer England https://www.AaroArts.com/ #10 AaroArts, Nov 12, 2020 Just spotted this thread! HUGE Dere fan, so I’m really excited to see another game from your team. I love puzzles too, so win win. Looks great and can’t wait to try it. Good luck with downloads. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,567 896 113 #11 ste86uk, Nov 13, 2020 What’s the level format like? Sometimes something as simple as this makes a difference to me. Also do you 1-3 star a level or find collectibles or is it just beat it and you win? All options are fine by the way I’m just curious. DariusGuerrero Well-Known Member Jul 25, 2016 336 123 43 Male Game Developer http://www.appsirgames.com/ #12 DariusGuerrero, Nov 13, 2020 Thank you for the continuing support! This game gets to combine the platforming elements of DERE with its gameplay, if that's what you wanted. But if you love DERE for the story, by all means this one will really put a smile to your face. DariusGuerrero Well-Known Member Jul 25, 2016 336 123 43 Male Game Developer http://www.appsirgames.com/ #13 DariusGuerrero, Nov 13, 2020 Nope. No three stars stuff per level, and there's no win screen per puzzle. I considered it, but I feel it ruins the flow of the story and slows things down. There's no game over screen too for that reason. The screen fades then you start again in less than a second. You finish a level by entering the gate. When you enter the gate, you'll get sucked into a portal that leads to the next level immediately. Levels get unlocked when you enter them, and once unlock you can select them in the level select screen so you can go to that level anytime. ste86uk likes this.

Indie Fiesta is an annual celebration of Philippine game developers. The event will take place November 15, 4PM Philippine Time, which unfortunately means it is 3AM Eastern time/12AM Pacific Time for people living in the USA. This convention has been happening for years and is usually done physically, but because of the circumstances the world is facing right now, the event will now take place entirely online via Gather Town. It's like Zoom, but you get to roam around like it's an RPG and you get to interact with objects too. It's like you're really at the convention. Here's a screenshot of it. Note that you don't actually need a webcam to participate. You just have your avatar roaming around and talk to people, and developers like me. Gather Town will work on your chrome browser, and maybe other browsers too. Here's the link, although it may be password protected until it opens publicly later. https://gather.town/app/xfHzZB7oNtIyJlx7/IndieFiesta2020 I understand that the timezone isn't favorable for the rest of the world, but if ever you can, please drop by and support Philippine game developers... and also check out a brand new trailer for Puzzling Peaks EXE Thank you so much.
