Balkadia's demo has received a major update. What was supposed to be the 4th level of the game has now become the 3rd.
Since the demo has always included the first 3 stages, you can now play this new level.
This stage was chosen to replace the original 3rd one as it contains the best part of Balkadia - using defeated enemies as projectile weapons.
It is also longer than the original 3rd stage, which will give a bit more playtime to the demo.
What about the original 3rd stage? It has now become Balkadia's 4th level.
Thank you for reading today's update. If you haven't, please wishlist Balkadia:

Versatility: instead of many weapons, you have a single whip with a variety of offensive & defensive functions.
Dismemberment: action games need a sense of power. The whip dismembers enemies.
Color: minimalist art contrasts the brutality of the game with beautiful environments.
Linearity: this is not a Metroidvania, instead, you have traditional level progression.
STORY:
The Whipper is a colorful, yet violent, 2D action platformer about a mother who will stop at nothing to save her son. A cult leader, hell-bent on resurrecting the all powerful monster known as Yaga, has kidnapped the child and intends to use him as a sacrifice.
A QUICK WORD FROM GEORGE:
This game is definitely a passion project for me. It is mainly inspired by the controls of Super Castlevania IV and the brutality of God of War. The Whipper is still in development, but it now has a DEMO with 3 playable stages available for your feedback.
