Hrm....surprised by the lack of feedback. Having had the opportunity of playing the full (but still WIP) version, I can tell it offers much more. In that sense Landeel, I think the demo is a bit too restricted and doesn't give the right picture of the game. Also, I think you should release a demo that can function more as a standalone game, and less be a showcase of the final version. For example, maybe some saveable status/highscores in the demo as well.
Anyway, it's a very fun game, with cool physics, and especially strong in two players mode, but maybe, at this point, a bit too two or more players oriented.
Once I buy the final version I'll review it for BASIC Gamer, that's for sure. How far is the final release? I see the buy link already works. How so?

He said first post. Where there is a link to game website: http://iceroyds.darkphear.com/
Where there is a Download Demo button below. :)

A couple of points:Landeel wrote:Okay, the full version is available, everything is up and running.
I'll spread the news.
I'll also try to contact some indie publishers.
- download from the site was impossible. The pic of the download button didn't appear, I grabbed the URL from the HTML.
- the readme textfile in the windows distribution doesn't wrap properly?
- I get a UAC prompt when running it (vista/64). Probably can be solved easily by making a proper installer (with e.g. innosetup)
- the demo has no gameplay. Hard to decide to buy the game, if you don't get a feel what the game is really about. The demo shows one hires pic and some old skool bitmaps in the story. The music seems the biggest part of the demo work.
Well, I have tested it in two different computers running Windows 7, and UAC didn't show up. Also, my beta testers didn't mention anything about UAC.
The download demo button is there ( http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9gvgc8oIVCk/T ... d-demo.png ).

Now I think of it, it might not have been UAC, just the plain and simple ".EXE downloaded from internet" prompt.Landeel wrote:Well, I have tested it in two different computers running Windows 7, and UAC didn't show up. Also, my beta testers didn't mention anything about UAC.
It's the same thing like the CHM unblocking: if you use built-in zip to unzip, the "downloaded" attribute will transfer from .zip to .exe.
It didn't show on the site. Entering that url in the URL bar does show it.The download demo button is there ( http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9gvgc8oIVCk/T ... d-demo.png ).
