Updates

Here's what we've been working on this week:

Improvements to the Hub area:
- Added a "Cleared" message above any stages that you've already finished.
- You'll also be asked if you want to enter the stage so there's no chance of entering by accident!
If you're in a level that you've already cleared, you can now exit back to the Hub area from the pause menu.
Improved the player's dodge maneuver to be quicker and more useful.
Added in an icon to indicate that the game is saving.
Added many more sound effects.
Improvements to enemies:
- Added more variation to the enemy AI. Some enemies will follow you off edges now rather than being cautious!
- Rebuilt the boss battles from scratch, and gave some of them new attacks:
Fixed a huge number of bugs!

We're currently in the process of deciding which keys the alternate keyboard scheme will use. This is the layout for the primary control scheme:

We'd like to hear any suggestions you might have for an alternate keyboard control scheme. What would work well for you?

Prepare to be Slain! Will you accept the challenge...

Players control Bathoryn, a hero in a Gothic world, seeking to liberate the 6 great towers from 6 deadly overlords.

Bathoryn must battle his way through a doomed land packed with gruesome pixel art foes before ascending (or sometimes descending) each tower, defeating puzzles, traps and monsters alike. At the heart of each tower, he must confront a mighty overlord. Defeat it and Bathoryn’s quest continues. Fail, and you’ll die gruesomely – mauled by werewolves, disintegrated by floating monstrosities, squashed by great weights or torn apart by hidden blades. And you will fail…

There are 3 key areas to be mastered in order to beat Slain! The order of Slain! goes as follows...

Learn to wield 3 deadly elemental weapons, each one exploiting weaknesses in different enemy types. Each weapon has a different combo, timing and 'ideal' use. Mastering quick switching between weapons is the key to success!
Learn placement and timings of enemies and traps
Generate, conserve and use your mana wisely

Accompanied by the heavy metal visuals is an even heavier metal soundtrack recorded by Curt Victor Bryant (formally of Celtic Frost).
