Liking the changes, adds more strategy but kept dying from the witches when two blocks away and couldn't really figure out why? Also think the pickup shield for one hit will be a good addition. Not a fan of the navigation block highlights. Feels a bit too intrusive and after I realised I could move two spaces it felt unnecessary. Also the red hit border when attacking the witch is on top of the character when I think it would look better below.

Added a bunch of stuff today.  Not least is this NPC Joe Gribbin pixelled:

That's great.

Just had a play of your game and really enjoyed it. Was a challenge to get the hang of it but once you figure out some playing techniques it's actually really fun and addictive. Looking forward to seeing the new art cause that is the only issue I have with the current game.

Is that a penguin switch on the wall there? :3

Now I can't help but see a penguin where'd I'd first seen a candle.

Whoops.  I mean, uh .. all according to plan .. >:3

Maybe penguin switches will be the new game mechanic we'll see in lots of games in 2012

Nice clean site, I like it. I Should also probably join up to twitter one of these days so I can actually follow people and keep up with their news better   

Liking the new name.

Had a play of it today and like what you have so far. Looking forward to the next update with more stuff to do and see 

Great art. Hadn't seen this devlog before so just wanted to say it's looking good. Will be following.

Thanks for that explanation, makes perfect sense. Should go and play X-COM to understand how these games work more, cause never got around to playing it back in the day 

Awesome image, love it

Not sure about the new Under the Ocean logo having the first two words in the old typeface. Understand the idea behind, it but think since everything else has been updated it looks kind of strange. Also for people who come to this without realising there was an earlier game, think they'll just see it as a really odd decision, which isn't explained through any of the new art.

Nice to see, it's been awhile.

The terraforming with telekinesis looks great also like the magic spells.

Remember seeing this in the pixel thread and liked it. Interesting direction you're taking it and think it'll work really well as a typing dungeon game.

The concept art is looking great, interested to see more.

Nice, good luck 

Like the new turn screens    but just not sure if it breaks up the action to much. Guess when you're playing it'll feel different then when you're just watching a video.

This is a new sprite for a 'Hero', as you can see they are bigger than normal populants

Like these guys. They look like big bears 

Interesting direction you're taking it and really looking forward to seeing how you further push this theme. Are you going to be changing any of the visuals to highlight the new direction?

A mock up of sorts, but for an actual game this time! It's not exactly what you may think it is though. I'll put up a devlog here on TIG later this week.

This is awesome. Love the colour choices
