New enemy 1 - Giant blood bats

Stronger, smarter, and immune to many of the tricks that worked on their smaller cousins

New enemy 2 - Skeletal rangers

Their lighter armor makes them considerably more agile then the soldiers you've seen so far...

Oh...and regular soldiers have also learnt to dodge roll now; you're welcome :) Destroying spikes blocks will causes the spikes to fly out. These in turn can be picked up and thrown (TowerClimb ref.).

For items that can be equipped in both hands; you can use the left/right trigger to specify which with the weapon wheel (or just use the default).
Bouncing off enemies now resets wall vault count/multi jump

Control options

All remaining control options (toggling default run; gamepad tilt sensitivity determining sprint; changing the aiming mode etc.); are now saved on leaving the game. Some settings are now saved separately per control scheme.
Auto-wall vault is toggle-able.

Adversity as your ally

F.A.Q.

Let's be transparent...
"What Gamepads are compatible?”
Currently Xbox and Xbox 360 controllers though other Xinput controllers may work.
NOTE: Not natively compatible with Playstation controllers yet.

Keyboard and mouse works just as well.

Is there much of a story in game?
There's minimal story exposition as of the current build.
We do plan on integrating a loose narrative as development progresses though...

“I'm running the game on an old computer, how can I make it run faster?”
Please see the following forum thread on optimization:

“Where can I report bugs/issues/suggestions?”
Please look to the forums, we check messages there each day. Feedback is welcome and there are some excellent community members who are willing to help to.

"Anything else to be aware of?"

Default gamepad controls are slightly different from convention, due to optional 360 degree aiming with right analogue stick. Though buttons can be rebound to suit.
It’s designed to be challenging, and death may be encountered frequently during your initial runs. Though there is no stunlocking/one-hit demises.
Being able to multi-task between abilities will greatly increase survivability.
**The game has a steeper learning curve than the average platformer, particularly in the first 25 minutes

Every challenge has multiple solutions

For example, if there is a chest on the other side of a lava pit; do you...?

Grapple across
Bend time and bounce off enemies
Use a boomerang to fetch the item
Blow up the pit with a grenade; setting everything nearby alight!
...
