It's a bit off, but I can't put my finger on why...

I would expect the wave from the paddle to propagate a bit longer too.

I saw the Pocket Gamer article today. Thanks Christian!

It has been a while since my last post so I'll leave this update.

Development is ongoing. I've just finished a batch of animations but have decided not to spoil these.

The next big piece of work missing is a revision of the item upgrade system. The current implementation won't scale the way I had envisioned and therefore needs to change. Otherwise, I still need to format the Mushroom Forest and Undead Catacomb levels to use the new camera system. To get the demo out sooner I'm considering dropping incomplete parts such as the dialog with Dysangelos and the XP stone. Finally, there are some UX issues that need work to ensure everyone understands how to play.

In other news, a small game I was working on, Ki Pets, is now available to play for free! (iOS only)

Item upgrade system complete! Now a balance pass is needed.

Xylo'Alg really rolls off the tongue. Awesome to see youre making headway on this!

Yeap. Had some trouble with that one. How's Xýlalgis instead? Fits the same character length, maintains meaning and I think is easier to read.

Strip the second L, so it reads 'zee-luh-giss, and I think it'll be perfect. Unless you intend for the second syllable to be the stressed one. In that case, zee-'lull-giss is fine (Though the only way I can say that fast is if I say zee-'lo(w)-giss.) So really I'm indecisive on the L.

[JobLeonard]

Is that Xy as in Xylophone or as in the Greek letter Ξ?

[standardcombo]

Yes, as in Xylophone. Which originates from greek!

Fasciinating!  Am I the first one to do that? Probably not. Refreshingly old style though. Keep up the grand work!

That robot walker looks amazing, it makes me want to create an entire mechanical world made of ascii

Thanks. That reminds me, I need to update it with latest symbol ´ instead of '
