    Looks interesting and kind of the game I've been wanting from you guys! I will say this though... Please, if you have characters to purchase, make them unique, make them significantly varied in their play style and and make their stats balanced so that the most expensive actually provides the significant benefits. I found Random Heroes 2 (and Random Runners) to be lacking in this area as it we felt like you only carded to buy two or three of the characters and the best character was debatably in the middle price range and none of the characters seemed to max out the established stat bars. That seemed a questionable design decision, in my opinion. I like the idea if every character having some special quality on top of the stats, adding to the strategy of which characters to use and buy for different reasons.

    One of the fun parts of these games is not only beating your time and clearing stages with three stars, but also having a reason to buy all of the characters. With the last two games this has felt lacking.

    Also: movable controls for us iPad users. I know it's in the engine now. Let's keep this an option. There are plenty of iPads out there now that this should be a given, not a requested feature.

    Thanks for listening!

    I will take this into consideration when beta testing

    I also think like extra stats or perks for individuality and please for all heavens sake..add shields! and guns! #medieval like blunderbuss or musket.

    Will take this into account and be taking notes and giving feedback on how this could be implemented.

    :)

    Booted this up an hour ago, and didn't put it down until I beat the first boss (about 5 mins ago).

    Really quite fun, and the platforming doesn't feel like a chore like it did in Random Heroes, it's... Fun!

    I feel compelled to explore and find the hidden areas and the combat is polished and fun. I like the rougelike-lite system you have in place (rather than a 3 star mission system).

    I've experienced some framerate drops, particularly when doing a big long jump (either down a hole or something, not just holding a).

    Another awesome thing: The variety in enemies. Heck, there's more types of enemies in the first 2 levels than there was in the whole first random heroes!

    My only criticism at the moment is that it's kinda shallow... Only one class, only 2 weapon types, and only 3 stats to level up. I'm not sure if you're still aiming for the Feb launch but there definitely needs to be some additions, not because it's a bad game, but simply because there's games out there that have more than this one. An active ability, another class, or shields would be a nice addition.

    Overall positive impressions

    I'll email this as well just in case.

    Dude, beta testing isn't about trying games early, it's about helping developers make their games as good as possible.

    No beta for me?

    Ok so for some reason I don't have the beta app to install even though I have joined the beta team and have been accepted. It's not even on my Non-Compatible apps section of TESTFLIGHT!

    Great news. I've been a fan of Ravenous Games for a long time and have high hopes for this title. Whenever it goes live I'll be buying it.

    Wow, that was fast! I just sent you guys an email regarding a bug I'm experiencing. Nothing game breaking. I didn't realize it was releasing so soon.

    I can say though that this will be my favorite game released by this developer. It's been a fantastic experience so far. :)

    Good to hear guys! Launch sales are very important to helping us getting the game noticed! :)

    Depends on how good you are! We've seen some testers play for more then 6 hrs and still have items to collect.

    Yes, we are hoping for Thursday March 6th if it's approved it time. Trailer should be coming this weekend or early next week.

    Thanks guys, you did a great job testing! Glad to hear so much positive feedback. I don't think anyone had any negative comments about the beta!
