Warlock's Tower

News from the mailman's mouth!


Hi, folks! How are you doing? We hope we’re not interrupting your Pokehunt! So, ready for some news?

The first one is that the Warlock’s Tower family is now even bigger! That’s right, we’re announcing a new cameo appearance in our game! Bringing her slashing sword and fancy suit to the Evil Warlock’s Tower is Kim, from Cat Nigiri’s awesome puzzler, Keen! Here’s she, being pictured at the Factory floor, between Tim and Jess. We wonder if they’ll get along?

Let’s hope they do!

In another news, after hearing all the great feedback from players at the BIG Festival (thanks everyone!), we completely revamped our user interface. Now, we believe, there’s a better connection between what goes on in the game and how the player (yep, that’s you!) perceives it. Did we hit the mark? You’re the ones to tell! Here’s a GIF of the new UI in action:

We’ve also been experimenting (and this is still top secret! Don’t tell anyone! ;)) with an entirely new mechanic to help you beat the longest levels! We’ve been calling this mechanic “Tiny Little Friendly Flag” (subject to change). By using it, you’ll be able to plant a flag anywhere in the level so that, if you happen to misstep (which will happen), you can resume from that place by loading a savestate. Doesn’t it sound useful? We think so:

That’s it folks. Loads of new stuff for you. What do you think? Like it? Hate it? Please tell us via Twitter, Facebook, or by replying to this newsletter!

Warm hugs from Brazil,

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
