Decided to make some minor gameplay changes based on how the game has been played so far. The main change was the removal of the multiple control schemes. The Sidearms-style control scheme is the most-used and the one that makes the most sense, so that is the one that the game will utilize from now on.

Just watched a bit of the new video. Loving it all! My only recommendation would be some nice explosions for the downed enemies, instead of them plopping off the screen.

I always felt that explosions might be out-of-character for a magic-based game like this, so I did not implement them into the design and it would require one hell of a redesign at this point. They are already used in specific instances but I've never made any videos with them in it.

Maybe you could use a little graphical "flourish" for lack of a better term? Don't get me wrong. I am still loving what I am seeing. :)

I like the way defeated enemies gracefully sink to their doom

All the sprites would benefit from a "kill" frame, where they are burned up liked the witches sprites or something to that effect.

I could do it for later levels, but then that disrupts the overall look of the game. At least for now, y'all got burning witches! YEEE HA!

The work load is still huge, and I will not have time to add some of these, so maybe for the sequel ;)

This game looks great and I'm definitely going to get it!

I'm sure everyone has a different opinion on this but the sound effect for when enemies die is kind of annoying.
Other then that small nuisance for me it looks and sounds fantastic. Great work!

Yeah I agree with the sound. This game is awesome, I particularly like Level 2 and it's Night Creatures kind of parallax with the trees and bricks in the background... very neat.

That sound has been criticized before so I went into the code and made some changes. It was originally using a square wave, which sounds rather harsh. I kept the note sequence but changed the waveform to a triangle. The sound is much softer now. As a side-effect, the "hit enemy" sound is now very loud in comparison. I will probably replace that with a better sound though, as it sounds kind of stupid as-is.

Just preordered this!

So did I...but it took me a little bit of searching since there was no info about preordering on the Frozen Utopia website and I wasn't aware that it was actually being released by Eponasoft.
