    Hopefully the devs touch up on the controls before release (please no tilt nonsense). :)

    I'm digging the squiggly characters, with sword-fights.

    Are you using virtual controls? Please use a dpad for movement, so many devs try that analog stick nonsense and it always fails.

    Holy. Crap... I think I'm gonna cry. I LOVED THIS FLASH GAME!!!! I remember days spent on the old PC playing Fancy Pants Adventures! You got an insta-buy from me!!! (as long as the controls are tight)

    Just a d-pad, should feel much better than a virtual analog stick. I'm really happy with how the controls feel right now, and I've played quite a few platformers in iOS.

    Thank you so much! I've personally spent a ton of time testing the latency on the controls, I think you'll be pleased :)

    So there's a dpad for movement. I take it there's 3 buttons on the other side of the screen (jump/ slide/ attack)?

    Yep, left and right on one side, attack, jump and slide on the other. Making sure movement is as precise as possible.

    Yup! Next week / early March. Sorry for the false start earlier, this time for real!

    Over the Top's pressed a few backgrounds together for performance, so I believe it'll run on all devices. I'd have to ask them, though.

    I believe OtT's experimented with that, but swipes aren't as responsive as presses.

    There's two big buttons on the right, one for jump, one for slide, so doing both should be very easy and reliable.

    And thank you very much! I think you'll be pleased with the price :)
