Hey, man. A demo version before the release is planned?

I think we've talked about this before, but will you at least have a donation page or something if you aren't charging for this? There is so much charm in every single gif that I can't help but think you've put your heart and soul into it. It's looking very, very solid and I'm more than excited enough about it to help support.
I'll probably at least mention the donation button on my website. Hey, man. A demo version before the release is planned?
Sadly no; I've been implementing stuff without that much regard to the player's progression, so I feel that it might give a wrong impression of the game if I released a demo; also the game is relatively open-ended, so deciding where to end might be problematic. |

The parallax seems a bit jumpy, or is it just the GIF?

Oh, and I also made a silly tool to further visualize the progress on the game:  To be honest, looking at that the progress has been much steadier than I thought; although that obviously means it has been steadily slow all around, haha.  Oh well, I feel pretty happy thinking that when I started this thread, the game was at 26% and now we're here. What data is that progress chart based on? Commits, hours, features? |

Looks good, but can we see the old tileset for comparison? Also, what kleiba said about jumpiness.

The crosses mark devlog/twitter posts where I've announced the game's current completion percent, which in turn is basically the percentual amount of rooms completed. The parallax seems a bit jumpy, or is it just the GIF?

Yeah, the jumpiness is from the GIF's optimization; it looks smooth when playing. There're some old gifs of the original tileset in this thread, here's one:  |

I liked the old tileset but the newer darker version is cool, too, and it sets ESA further apart visually from games like Spelunky and Rick Dangerous I ;-)

I have a question. How many hours of gameplay need for a complete walkthrough of the game?

Impossible to reliably calculate, but my "main save" that I use to test the game's progression has about 3½ hours of playtime; the time is unreliable because as the developer I know all the little tricks and secrets, but also because extensive testing adds some extra time to the total. Based on tester data, I think the average playtime might be something like 5-7 hours for a first-timer. |

5-7 hours for a first-timer.
This information alone serves to suggest this one's gonna be a real gold mine  |
