Quoting: razing32I'm honestly confused more than anything.
Don't really understand what creature is supposed to be what and how the game plays....

(I'm not trying to be a dick , but my poor brain cannot comprehend)
Glad I'm not the only one who thought this. I love Bastion and I quite enjoyed Transistor, but I cannot work out what on Earth is going on in this trailer!

Riptale, a challenging 2D roguelike with plenty of blood arrives on Linux

Started playing this today and it's good fun, however using the Steam Controller was a pain. The d-pad wasn't recognised in-game at all using the Steam in-built driver. Eventually I created a new profile in sc-controller and that seemed to fix the problem.

The black and white graphics remind me of the ol' BBC game Plan B :-)

Quoting: XicronicThere also seems to be an in-game bug now where people can see others through walls. It's become a sniperfest =/
You're not wrong. I experienced that this evening, however I do need all the help I can get :-)

Quoting: Leopard
I finally got a test build for Linux, if anyone wants to try it. (I don't have a Linux system so I have no idea how well it works.)
I bet putting a Linux installation to a machine for testing it must be very hard.

What kind of devs we are dealing with?
Apparently a group of devs from Minnesota Zoo and some educational institutions.

Have played it for an hour or two and am very impressed so far. I like the slightly retro feel, though the scrolling is a little laggy at times.

Quoting: UltraVioletdoesn't seem to be a option to use a controller rather than the keyboard in the options menu [i might of been missing something] so i couldn't play it to its fullest
I started the game with my Steam Controller switched on and the game seemed to work just fine using it, despite there being no obvious option to select a controller.

I've played this for about two hours so far and despite me being a bit clumsy with the controls, I am really enjoying it. My only criticism would be that the levels seem to be a little short. I'd like more opportunities to buff my character before I go into battle with the boss!
