Aura of Worlds (tuxdb.com)

Patch 0.115.7.3

Additional quality of life improvements

Added start and dissolve animation to several energy projectiles
Terrain caching has been heavily optimized, leading to faster loading times.
Ice Phoenix fight has been updated to be more challenging:
- She now has more intelligent target tracking during various attack phases.
- A few of her abilities (such as summoning minions) trigger faster as the fight progresses.
Additional level generation safeguards have been implemented.

Other Bug fixes/balance changes:

Fixed spear shadow trail not displaying (though we have an updated animation coming later).
Giant golden fist traps could previously push around flame throwers in the air.
Fixed several glitches associated with recreating previously generated worlds from world property caches.
Reduced Shotbow damage slightly.
Removed spike pit generation from ceiling gas level theme in the Grotto.
Enthrall projectiles are slightly faster.

Note: The price of the game will rise in the near future as we draw closer to release Have Fun & Happy Easter!

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!
...
