Known Bugs
-game will occasionally hang at random for a few seconds
-very rare crash to desktop, possibly more common on Vista systems
Both of the above bugs are apparently caused by Node Webkit, so until I find a workaround or a workaround is built into Construct 2, we'll just have to wait until Google addresses them.

Nice game, i recorded a video of it which i will stick up soon. Only issues i had was a few random freezes and a crash or 2. Very enjoyable though
Hey thanks! Yeah, I'm looking for a solution to the random freezing and crashing, sorry about that. Seems fairly rare, at least. Let me know when your video goes up, I'd love to see it!
I will do :D.
maybe it has something to do with the game exe opening 3 times. with 1 main one then 2 others
Is that three separate windows, or just processes? If it's three processes, that's normal. This is an HTML5 game running through a shell called Node Webkit, which is basically a stripped down Google Chrome. It does look like the errors are on Node Webkit's side though, so I'll try rolling back to a more stable version if I can.
ahh fair enough. Yes just processes. I am going to upload the video now and release it in the morning :)
Excellent. Thanks again, man!
Very impressed :) As a fan of Nuclear Throne, I absolutely loved this. Keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to the next build! Hopefully you'll be on steam early access by then or something cause it deserves to be.
Thanks so much! I'll definitely shoot for steam early access if the greenlight gods are kind to me.
I'll keep my eye out for it. It'd be worth every cent.
Youtube.com :D
Awesome! That death at the end is going on the bug list for sure, that was real weird.
Great game, I enjoyed the demo a lot! Excellent atmosphere and the combat is very satisfying. Xbox 360 controller support would be ace and really appreciated. Performance wise I encountered some freezing during combat but no big deal. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Custom keybinds and controller support are on my to-do list.
This is awesome thus far. Great movement, artwork, and mechanics! Can't wait to see more
