Demo Now Released news - Twist

Hey Everyone,

It's me again, and I have some really awesome news, today i released the Twist Alpha One Demo. It's still in a very early alpha stage but it's about time I show the public and get feedback on how to improve it and how to make the game something everyone will enjoy.

As you can see, I've added a little debugging thing in the corner of the screen, this allows players to change up the game a little bit, changing the Speed, Jump Height, and Gravity the player experiences to match what they feel is best. Players are invited to send their favourite setup to me at: support@purplehatch.co.uk and i'll collate an average and work out what is best for the final game. I hope that allowing players into the development process further will help to make the game as good as it can be.

There are a total of 6 levels now and I'm planning for at least 18 in the final release on the 22nd. I'll also be creating my own music, whereas the current track is borrowed from www.indiegamemusic.com.. I also have a couple of plans in which I hope to expand the game to:

• Add More Blocks: Jump Pads, Boost Pads, Flip Pads
• Add More Pickups: Slow Motion, Jetpack, Auto Jump, Spike/Wall Immunity
• Mod Support: Level Loader, Level Design Program
• Rogue Mode: Finite Number of lives before it's all over and you start again.

This is what I have planned for 22nd which gives me 10 days to implement all of these features. I'm confident that I can reach that target but that date is still something that could change.

Finally, it's important to remember that this Demo is also really a public Alpha Test, this is everything I have to show of the game so far and it is still very early on in development.

Thanks for your support,
