[p]Hey squad,[/p][p][/p][p]First of all, a massive thank you to all the people that have played our demo so far. The response to the game has been incredible and we're very happy to see so many of you having a lot of fun with it! We've also been receiving a lot of great and constructive feedback, suggestions and ideas. Thanks to everyone that has taken the time to send it in - it's hugely appreciated.[/p][p][/p][p]After going over all the feedback, there were clearly some common themes and criticisms, primarily related to meta progression, traits system and the in-game upgrades. We agree with a lot of this feedback and, whilst we have plans for these areas, we want to take a little more time in order to make sure we address them properly. Unfortunately, that means we're not going to be able to release the game in July.[/p][p][/p][p]We don't expect to take too much longer - just a few extra weeks. Once we have an exact release date, you'll be the first to hear.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for your patience and continued support,[/p][p][/p][p]Martin & João[/p][p]Bellyflop Games[/p]

[p]Next Fest is now over, but the good news is we're leaving our demo up for people to play![/p][p][/p][p]Thanks to everyone who gave it a go, we hope you enjoyed it! The feedback has been very positive and constructive overall! So thank you for writing up your comments, thoughts, ideas and even those pesky bugs. We'll now be collating it all, going through it and using it to help guide the game's direction and focus going forward. Note that we're happy to receive feedback any time, so don't hesitate to send it in.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks again for playing![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
