This means that it is very far from feature complete. It is not representative of the final product. As development continues, this game will continue to be updated and have new features added regularly. This version of Slay the Beast is for 1-4 players to compete in a match between heroic Knights and a powerful Archdemon.
To play, just extract the zip file then run Beast.exe. See README.txt for controls and other information.
NEW IN THIS BUILD:
- Reset power-up state on hero respawn
- Stopped round timer on demon death or when no heroes are currently alive
- Heroes now spawn bone piles on death
- Heroes can knock other Heroes around with their dashes
- Replaced Demon Close Fireball with a Lobbed Fireball
- Heroes can choose which side of the screen at which to re-spawn by holding the left stick in that direction
I think the graphics and animation on this game are sweet. I had some trouble with keyboard controls. Or, maybe I did not read the instructions. Really like the concept here. Keep it up.
Thanks for the compliment!
Yeah, I'm not happy with the keyboard controls right now either. They're more of a means to an end right now so I can test the game when I don't have a gamepad available. In the future, I plan to add input configuration and a better default input scheme.
