I absolutely loved the LOE2/Burger Cat style, but it's neat to see your familiar pixel style. I'm a sucker for cute pixel art!

League of Evil was good, League of Evil 2 was more League of Evil so good, Random Heroes is more League of Evil so umm... good. The devil's advocate wonders how many times Ravenous Games will peddle the same reskined engine. What is so novel about Random Heroes? Sure there are more characters and supposedly longer levels, but is that really enough to get enthusiastic about? I'm interested but not totally sold on what seems to amount to a League of Evil level pack. ...And to think people call me cynical... Try new things much? Sounds like the target demographic here... Just like LoE; yup... finger crossed.
I'm enthusiastic. I loved the LOE games. I haven't really found a comparable iOS platformer. I've also really been wanting something with longer levels in the vein of megaman or Mario. This is some of the best news for platformer fans. I think.
Well, you can try out the game on Kong if you're interested. It's got all the platforming charm of LOE, except with a twist: instead of going for 3-star speedruns, your goal is to shoot up a bunch of baddies each level. And using coins you find in the game, you can buy better weapons/gear. And like stated in the OP, there's also boss battles and whatnot. The game on Kong is a bit short though, hope they add a few levels just for iOS =]
We are adding more characters, levels (about another 15) and enemies. There will be some gameplay tuning in terms of weapon damage / pricing as well as enemy difficulties. Should be a bunch of fun for the people who are looking forward to it.
I really should play the flash version, so I know what to expect. Going to do that later today. If I like that version, the iOS version will be similar in a way, so I will know to buy or not.
That's real good news... Tried the flash game, and it was quite short, but had fun playing it! Please add the option to turn gore on. Your bloody exploding animations were really cool in LoE. #
We are working on some stuff to extend the gameplay duration including more levels, characters and achievements. Still a little early to tell about 2nd gen support, but we will do our best. There will be IAP but it shouldn't interfere with gameplay.
