This update has been focused on making this demo feel more like a demo of a complete game. This means that we've been polishing up the existing content and adding in new features to make this Alpha build feel more like a complete experience of what the game will be in the end.

What's New?

• Level Select: Gone are the days of not being able to replay a level you beat unless you start another character! With this new feature, you'll be able to play and replay any levels, that you've unlocked, to your hearts content!

• Scoring System: Sure, you beat the level, but how well did you really do? Now you can find out! The scoring system will be based on the number on your speed, the number of enemies defeated, number of hearts collected, and how many lives you ended the game with. It will have a numeric score along with a 3 star rating system based on that score (think Angry Birds). Down the road, the stars will be used to unlock more difficult levels. Will you get 3 stars on all the levels?

• Leaderboards A scoring system would be pretty lonely without a leaderboard, wouldn't it? Now you can share your scores and compete against your friends and everyone across the globe! There is a leaderboard for each level and it is broken down by how many people played that level. For example, if you played Level 3 by yourself, your score would not be competing against a score that Becca and I got on that level when we played as a team. Once more testing and polishing has been done, we'll even run a contest to see who can get the top spot on certain levels, so get your practice in now!

• Bug Fixes & Polish I know, I know, this isn't new! But with every update, I just have to add that we're constantly trying to squish any bugs that come up and polish up what we can. While it hasn't been the main focus of this new build, it doesn't mean it fell to the wayside. It's still a huge priority to us and will continue to be, all the way through launch!

Thank you to everyone for their patience and understanding with this newest build! You all have been great and we're looking forward to sharing even more great things with you in the future!
