HALFTIME DEMO


The wait is over! At long last, it's time to try out the new chapters 2 and 3 and all of the new items and improvements that have been added in the past year!

I'm sure you're all excited to jump in, but keep reading for some important info about the demo:

  • You can only play through Nightmare's story for now

  • You can replay completed levels as Kodon; Tuhrahkkkii is still unavailable.

  • Pay a visit to the shop for some free items! Interact with the nanotech dispenser and stat upgrader to get a free set of nanotech items to equip, and one free slot to equip them into. These items may just give you the boost you need to complete the difficult later chapters!

  • I love feedback! If you spot a bug, or have a suggestion, or just want to voice your opinion, feel free to reply here and I will read it.

And that's all for today! I'm still trying to figure out what I want to tackle next - like filling out the hub, building the codex, or maybe finally making Tuhrahkkkii playable.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the demo!

Some new background elements in Chapter 4 (N). The sky's a little less barren now that there are more floating rocks off in the background.

These also use 3D depth for accurate scaling, parallax scrolling, and distance fog.

Sure has been a while since I posted something new, huh? Well, that's because I've been working on something big (that, and bugfixing).

Here's a little preview of that something!

Oodles of options!

Accessibility aids aplenty!

I added some more settings lately to toggle distorted graphics, fine-tune the audio mixing, and other stuff. Hopefully this should make the game accessible to more kinds of players.

More underwater friends :)

I thought the escape sequence in Chapter 2 didn't have enough urgency to it, so I spiced it up a little.

I also wrote a new song to go with it!

Keep an eye out for this in the next update, coming... whenever I feel like it.

I got a little creative block working on the lake level, so I skipped ahead for a bit.

This is the Boss Rush arena event! You fight many/all bosses back-to-back here.

I decided to go crazy with 3D effects here, since it happens in a virtual reality room.

Scenic subterranean lake ambiance.

It seems so peaceful... for now.

I updated the character select screen again!

I ditched the blurred overlay background for a stylish color-changing gradient, and added a spotlight to justify the players' shadows.

I also combined player & difficulty onto 1 screen for efficiency.

Behold, your reward for beating boss rush - this sick-as-heck 3D cutscene I threw together over the weekend!

Yeah, I know the game is mostly 2D, but I really felt like going way over the top with this game mode. I hope it paid off.
