[previewyoutube=EbfyrKel-Mo;full][/previewyoutube] Adventures of DaKoo the Dragon combines multiple play styles that can be accessed instantaneously. You'll be able to use combo attacks, then transition smoothly to combat attacks like punching and kicking or shoot fireballs without loosing a beat! The game has no load times after the start menu so transitioning from level to level will be smooth. Gravity based levels change the pace of the game. in the Special Vortex levels you can take the chance to get more power ups with a randomized level of difficulty including things like rocket ships and light switch levels! Click here for the Steam Store Page Today I have just uploaded the latest set of changes to Steam, Ahead of it's release. What was going to be a simple update has turned into a huge one, with over 20 changes and fixes. Things like the save game system, the level restart and attack animations are just a few of the things that have been worked on.
