Greetings fellow adventurers!
We've released an update to our demo - added an ability with a profound effect on the game and also a level up interface!
0.5.5 Win x86
0.5.5 Win x64
0.5.5 Mac
0.5.5 Linux
The Lift Ability
One of the biggest changes we made is adding the Lift basic ability, accessible to all heroes for the cost of 1 Action Point, allowing players to move an adjacent small object, ally or enemy to another adjacent tile. Lift enables many new combinations and also makes it easier to aim and hit environmentals and kicks by adjusting the angle before launching the attack.
Level Up Dialogue
We also added a level up interface to allow players to choose which new ability they get every time they level up. It's a temporary thing, just until we can implement the character sheets we're working on, but we wanted you to have access to your favorite abilities quickly with each playthrough.
