    I have some incorrect orientation screenshots for you! make sure you twist your head to see them! :D

    And PS - these screenshots were taken in beta build 1 - there is a hell of a lot improved in the second as screenshots from Foursaken Media show, but maybe my own personal ones will give you a fan's take on the game :)

    [​IMG]

    An enemy called an elephant snail in the survival-esque Coliseum Mode. Beetle is surrounded by threats - and that damned snail is tricky to kill, that's for sure. :)

    [​IMG]

    The enemy with the mace is called the Bumblebee. He's a hulking titan who, although without the resistance of the above snail has a nasty attack and will really awe you with his size, the detail into him and he also emphasizes the variation in the enemies. On the right you can see my special attacks, such as 'Adrenaline', to give me a boost of speed, defense and power, and a sort of epic stunning move and an epic killing move.

    This game is just phenomenal. Definitely in my top 3 of the year at this early stage. Will give you lot impressions on build 2 later. :)

    Cool part about the Elephant Snail is that fleas will jump out from the carrier basket he has on top, constantly spawning new enemies for you to fight.

    Haha, nice aim btw with Beetle (in the first screen)... you trying to hit that post there? :p

    ACTUALLY I was using the special wham of death move that's name escapes me, and so that's the reason for the camera angle. I may have made it aim for the post, I dunno, but still. ;)

    Oh I see... yeah he does a spin move for the "Smash Em" Ability, so he's just facing the opposite direction right then haha. :p Thanks for the impressions though :)

    About the elephant snail - it really does add to the difficulty having to slug away at some epicly awesome snail as it has massive HP, WHILE having other enemies fire/slash at you and at the same time having more enemies spawn at you. :)

    It really is a good game. Keep some app store credit free because this may be the best purchase you'll make in a long time. :)

    Small tip for when you take screenshots: get photoshop mobile (it's free!) and turn the pics with that. :)

    Just thought I should mention that on Monday, and Tuesday and most of Wednesday I am on a camping trip. So I won't be able to test for round 3 (if testing does start during any of those days) for a day or two.

    No problem -- just as long as you give awesome feedback when you get back :p

    Also quick update... beta is progressing nicely :) Round 3 should be coming soon, and then after that, it'll be the final countdown! Starting to get excited about finishing this game :eek:

    I have returned! Round 3 hasn't started just yet, so I can't wait to get testing once it does.
     
  16. Well, that was a quick trip. You haven't missed anything new, no worries. :p

    Yeah we are delaying Round 3 for a few days in order to iron out a few, final pressing issues. We want Round 3 to be as close to a final build as possible.
