Well people don't really know how to get the most out of a system it seems. It's hardware, just have to push it to its limits without breaking the engine. And everything in here is really optimized as much as possible without losing too much quality. We really had hard time figuring out how to make it runs smoothly in some missions (#9 especially). But I think we found a good balance... transparency over the whole screen is definitely a frame rate killer, avoid it like the black plague.

from what I've played I'm utterly impressed and will defiantly be purchasing. this is the quality ouya needs from now on.

I like this game. The text is way too small, however. Also, L1 flashes on the screen near climbable vines, but you must press O to climb them. Finally, there is no way to back out of the menu, so you have to tap down 4 times then press O, when it would be so much nicer to just press A.

Just some constructive criticism. I like the character designs, and the game overall runs very smoothly.

your feedback and others as well is highly appreciated:) no worries. the blinking L1 is a hint to help player know where he would need to go. In some QA people didn't understand that they could climb vines. and yes you have to jump on them in order to climb. This is part of the design and might not change. As for the A button to go back I assume we'll put that in a future update. Right now we're gathering as much feedback as possible to help adding the last polishing touches.

wow the game really looks gorgeous. finally some high value game here again. was about to unlock the full version but then i saw there are IAPs...so my question, is the game well balanced so that its possible to beat it without having to use those and not getting frustrated? ;)

yeah, good question, those bonuses are here in order to make player's life easier. Lets say if you do without you're playing in normal mode and if you buy everything you're in super easy mode. we just want the players who are OK to spend more and feel super strong to be able to. Also you can spend time re-doing missions or playing in arena mode to earn some credits that you can spend on upgrading your characters' stats. Hope it's clear for you now. :)

sounds fair. going to purchase. :)

Well, I think the way the mobile apps are doing it. making the game impossible to finish unless you purchase is a bad thing for player. It's something I definitely wanted to avoid with STELLAR GHOSTS. For us it's mostly a bonus if people decide to get them.

yeah, (mobile) games should always be beatable with regular effort and have this IAPs only for really impatient and short on time people or just add visual customisations not affecting gameplay mechanics.

100% agree with that.
