Hey all! After nearly two months of silence I am back working to finish this up! I've spent a ton of time hand drawing over a dozen animation frames for every character in the game. It was a huge learning experience for me. I'm not sure if I want to go through it again any time soon, but I definitely did learn a lot! Also, I'm really proud of how it ended up as well.

Currently I'm winding down on what I want to accomplish with this game. I feel that things need to be tweaked a bit and better aligned for difficulty. There are a few things I want to take care of visually as well, but for the most part I think everything I want to do with this game is done. If there is a big surge of people playing the game I can always add more content, but I have new game ideas that I want to focus on in the future!

So this is the last beta release of the game. In two weeks (or less!) I'm hoping to release the final version of the game with everything else I want to accomplish. 

Hope you enjoy the update! If you make a YouTube video out of it, please shoot me a message on Twitter @ben_burnes and I'd love to share it with the world :D
