Unfortunately, the transition between screens still seems rather jarring.  Also, there seems to be a lot of filler.  So far I've flown through a bunch of screens and only done one thing.  And since there's no map system, I really feel like I'm just wandering around aimlessly.  I think there's potential here, and the screen shots look interesting, but at the moment there's not much incentive to try and get there.  Love the visuals, though.

Overall a very nice little game.  The visuals are great, game play is simple with just enough challenge, and it was the right number of levels to break up the day a little bit.  The music was fine for a while, but it does get a bit repetitive.  Maybe you could have three tracks that switch out every eight levels or so?

Cute game.  A few of the boards were challenging, but overall it was nicely paced and a good diversion.

Congrats!  Will there be a full digital release at some point for those of us unlucky enough not to have an actual device any more?

Pledged for my copy.  Looking forward to seeing this one released!

Unfortunately, it does not appear to be.  I tried both the EU and US servers and neither of them would connect.

What on earth was that?  I'd try to explain it, but my head hurts just thinking about it.  I guess that was supposed to be a game?  Am I so old that I don't what it means to be a game any more?  At least the music was peppy... but then I like elevator music, so that doesn't mean much.  Thanks for consuming way too much of my limited brainpower, "game".

So after playing a few levels I scrolled down and noticed there was a version for iOS.  Now it resides on page one of my iPad games (and I have a LOT of games on my device!).  Looking forward to digging in some more.

This is sweet.  Now I'll admit I played on Zen mode, because I didn't want to get too stressed out to begin with :)  It looks great, the music is soothing, and the controls get you where you need to go.  To me marble rolling games are one of the most fundamental, easy to get into but hard to let go style of games, and you nailed it.

Good for you.  I've been in the programming business for a long time, and most of the folks I've worked with can't even do much with "hand me everything" type tools.  It's nice to see people get "down in the weeds" and really try to understand what's going on when they develop for a platform.

Thanks for the info.  That's good to know :)

Are these part of the Mega Bundle as well, or something completely different?

I received a Lua error twice while playing (within a 3-4 minute span), and I believe it's happening when I actually fill a line.  Here's an image:

Cute game.  Died too many times for the small number of levels, but that's not surprising for me.  Whatever you used to write the game in does seem to have a bit of trouble transitioning from full screen back to a windowed environment, though.

I wasn't really sure about this one at first, but once I figured out what was going on it was actually really fun.  I love the visuals, and grinding to level up has always been one of my favorite parts of games, so this fit in nicely.  I was just waiting for one of the items you dug up to be a skull :)

Thank you. That was an enjoyable little game.  As one who has always enjoyed grinding for stats, I found the progression pretty acceptable.  I think it's easier to tolerate when there is no real goal to the game other than to make it to the next level.  The game was nice and relaxing, and I'm looking forward to the full release.

As with everyone else that has commented so far, I am really enjoying this game.  Unfortunately, I too found a bug, and it's actually not the same one that has already been reported.  It's just a minor thing, but if you go to the system menu and uncheck then check the Drones option, when you go back to the game your shooting drones no longer appear!  You either have to close and reopen the game, or go back to the system menu and uncheck and check the Drones box again.

Is there any way to make it full screen?  Between my screen size and my eyes I can't read what's going on very well.

Thanks!  That was cute, and entertaining for a few minutes.  Unfortunately I couldn't bring myself to stick with it long enough to find everything, but I liked the mechanic used to clean up the dust.  The graphics were pretty neat too.

First of all, I appreciate the thorough and thoughtful design journals.  Also, as I programmer, I like the fact that you choose to show source code when it suits.  I am really looking forward to this game!

So many updates I couldn't decide which one to comment on, but since is more of a general one I figured why not?  This game is looking pretty sweet.  I'm am excited for it and really impressed by what some of you Play.Date developers are doing.

Hey, you should consider making the URL a hyperlink :)

Thanks.  I thought that was the case, but I couldn't get it to work.  Didn't even bother trying to just use keys instead of clicking with the mouse.  All good now!

So I'm a bit confused (not a big shocker).  Is there actually supposed to be an app on this page, either embedded or downloadable, or just the PDF?  I've already got the cards, so this sounded intriguing.  Just not sure what I should be expecting here :)

Silly question, but why not just continue the project under Duel of Shadows?  As a side note, I actually like that name better :)

Nifty little game.  You should have it reset the coins after every run, though.

So is Waffle's Cranked Stories still available for the PlayDate?

This was a lot of fun.  Would love to see a few more levels.  The graphics are great!

Ah, I found it.  I just didn't scroll down far enough on the main page.  Thank you!

Silly question, but should the Humble Gift download show up when I click the Download button off the main asset page?  All I see is the Adventure Time download.

First, congratulations on coming back to the fold, and being willing to talk about it on a public forum.  Personally, I think it's pretty cool that you're trying to mix your faith with one of your passions.  If you're using your skills to promote your beliefs don't ever feel that it's a waste of time.  Looking forward to trying the game!

Just curious - is the V2 gameboy version on here any different than the version distributed for the Kickstarter rewards?

This looks amazing!  I have nothing against modern gaming, but man do I miss my C64!

This is really cool.  I hope if someone decides to use it they let us all know how it goes.  Personally, I don't have enough friends to even worry about someone asking me for a copy of a ROM :)

This looks sweet!  Any tips for someone who might want to get started in Atari programming (I have 30+ years dev experience, just never written a game).

So I have to say this is a pretty clever concept.  I love the idea of flipping the area the clock covers to get you out of the death zone.  Well executed!

It looks like you upped the price for being able to have access to the prior releases, which is fine, but now it appears that those of us that bought in at the prior price can't grab them anymore.  Does that mean that I have to pay the full entrance price again as opposed to the difference between what I paid initially and the current price?

And please don't misunderstand me - I'm not suggesting it isn't worth the price.  I'm just asking for clarification's sake.  Thanks!

So while I can't speak for the "accuracy" of many of them as I'm only familiar with the source material by name, they all sound great, and the ones I have heard before are spot on.
