Our second update is up and this is a BIG one! The gameplay will be more fluid and pacy now, with the teleportation bullet starting on full charge and then decreasing as you hold down the left-mouse button. We also added checkpoints in levels to make it less frustrating to fail and added glows to breakable objects - making pathways and dangers more clear than before.

We also made a big change to the gamepad controls - making the jump and charge mechanics mapped on the same button, LT on default (Xbox 360 controller). This is in response to gamers asking for a specific jump button - and game tests have been very positive.

Below are bulletpoints of the changes, let us know how you like the changes!


* Bullet force is reversed - Starts on full power and then decreases.

* More checkpoints.

* Difficulty reduced in various places.

* Added glow to breakable objects.


Gamepad :

Jump and Charge are now set on a single button (Charge button - LT by default) You jump when grounded but charge when midair.

Default controls (Xbox 360 controller) :
"Movement" - Left stick (LS)
"Aim" - Right stick (RS)
"Charge" and "Jump" - Left trigger (LT)
"Shoot" - Right trigger (RT)
"Teleport" - Right button (RB)
