A demo has been released!

You can now play the Gamma version with both characters: Cee Ann & Riptide

Cee Ann is the character with adaptability while Riptide is the one that evolves.

You can find a couple gameplay videos for each character, but its recommended to watch after you played!

Cee Ann's vast skills/moveset/mechanisms are taken into account for said word (Adaptable) which allows the player to customize the gameplay to its style. It also means that the character has no limitations on mechanics such as double jump and others dynamisms, but he would be facing evolution since he's unable to upgrade physical traits such as character statistics.

Cee Ann's disadvantage: he's unable to regenerate over time like a living being, unless an external source is there to aid. He as well takes advantage of his traits such as combining his moves to perform large chains of attacks and leave little room for possible treats. Making good use of combos to balance an unfair opponent with large health.

Riptide is able to, being able to extend its defense and endure large combats as he grows in combat, speed and strength. But as his opposite, he's very limited to his body traits where he can learn a limited amount of skills that can be either innate or possible with practice.

Riptide's strength is that he can break through most enemies defense, the spear along with his attack power is able to perforate through the barrier or shell that the enemy would use to protect themselves.

Lives implementation

Lives were added into the game as items, now you can collect and stack up to 5 or more depending of your gameplay style.

if the item in question can't add up to the count it will refill your health instead. Which is perfect if you plan to do a single run without loss.

Lightning system was fixed when walking into caves and stepping out of them.

Game mode is now functional:

You can select between 4 game modes.

The following act as such

All these modes end up to the same screen when its a GAME OVER:

You will be sent to the MENU SELECT where you can load your last save from the last time you went.

Demonstration after powerup

Each time you defeat a boss or get a powerup, it will run a demonstration to show how it works.

Sometimes there will be decent gimmicks you can learn from those, keep in mind those are a WIP and its planned to be able to skip with a button press.
