Wrap your opponents in ice.

New parallax backgrounds for the grotto

Other mechanics

2 New status effects.
Reworked knockback physics of all melee weapons.
Chakram is much more versatile now:
- Can stun unaware opponents.
- Can hit more often
- Can travel under water
The targeting system has been vastly reworked to accommodate how quickly alliances can change...

Bug fixes and optimization

Substantial rework of Gnarled Gardens plants for much better performance.
Fixed bug where continuous sounds could loop indefinitely; if played at the same time as an identical non-continuous sound.
Fixed bug where using quick swap with a given item didn't deactivate the shield (thanks Rubenmenton for flagging that)
Fixed weird bug where the player's equipped item would appear to be stabbing them at an awkward angle; after being knocked from a ledge they were holding.
The item order is now consistent on the weapon wheel
Adjustments to some item descriptions.
Fixed bug with dart traps not triggering.

Other

Multiple new sound effects
New particle animations
...

W.I.P. stuff

We're still working on the ice world in the background (though want it to have more polish before putting it out) Here's some (slightly older) artwork

* Happy New Year's Patch (0.73.11)! *

Added 1 achievement.
Poison flowers in the garden can be picked up and thrown.
Fixed bug with dragon fly rebounding off and immediately dealing when knocked against a wall with force.
A lot of polishing work with how Grotto's background tiles generate.
Added much more randomisation to the grotto of guidance parallax.

Last patch of this update: 2nd January 2019

* So when's the next major update??? *

We're pretty close now... There's a lot of new features coming in mid-February...

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!
...

More Features

Over 70 unique enemies and traps
9+ randomized level themes. Such include tidal corridors filled with mines, rising lava, caverns lined with toxic and carnivorous plants...
3+ Primary world types (grotto, gardens, temple, ...) each with their own traps, enemies, boss and special theme layouts.
A plethora of creative abilities ranging from parkour to cloaking to warping time itself!
Every object has multiple uses E.g. you can grab that lantern from the ceiling, and carry it around to use as a portable light source or improvised flaming molotov...
Hand crafted pixel art and animations by Jessica Turner and Lachlan Cartland
Regular updates
A unique musical score.
Customize character skin and clothing colors.
Permanent progression: allows you to unlock world shortcuts, new items, character backgrounds...
So much more...

Whilst functionally complete; the game is under active development and more content is being added.
