Thanks! I got it! (only to be stuck in the next room). I see the path the light should have but one of the mirrors won't move in the direction I need it to!

The game now starts fine on my iPad 1.

No idea what you mean because we've never even tried Unity. What is it like? Is it any good?

But anyway, this game is built on our own game engine we've been working on for a couple of years already.

It does show up and list them as unachieved from within the game. I'm running iOS 6.01

Excellent game. Console quality through and through, plus its challenging and has a good few hours of gameplay in it. Worth every penny.

Second update for Shardlands was submitted yesterday and I want to share some thoughts about the additions and changes we made. As I mentioned earlier, player can now move faster by "dashing", which is activated with double tap. Dawn's movement speed is doubled for a few seconds until energy is exhausted. The energy is fully restored when visiting a beacon, or by walking over a energy restore point. In addition, there are points where the energy is consumed.

Using the dash ability doesn't necessarily make crossing obstacles any easier. It can get you into trouble if used recklessly near monsters. At the moment, there aren't any obstacles in the game that require dashing, but in the upcoming levels there most likely will be. Now it's ultimately the players choice if he/she wants to move more swiftly through the game world. I find myself dashing all the time, especially in the hub where you have unlimited energy.

Another feature we added to speed up the gameplay was that when Dawn gets to a beacon while monster is following, the monster gets killed by a lightning-like effect coming from the beacon.

A new level called "Marsh" is included in the update. (click to enlarge)

To the devs: I ultimately have stopped playing after about 9 levels in. Too slow, boring, repetitive, no change in visual style...the game screams polish but the gameplay is a major letdown. Started well, but I see the same concepts being used again and again.

I tell you what - I was amongst the first to hear about the game, but I am now disappointed. Anyway, still look forward to your next game. Hope it'lll be my cuppa coffee

Really? I liked a lot of games. Recently, NFS MW, Gear Jack, Rayman, Polara, Devil's Attorney, Lili....and some more that I probably can't recall. But yeah, the ratio of like:dlike is rather low.
