I'd love a key but I don't think I'd actually get anywhere to be of any use.

I like how it looks though, how does the coop work?

That usually happens to me when I ask for help with something, but in case it doesn't, players aren't crushed by boxes and you can push them over their heads.

Well tough poo poo, you're getting one anyway.

Co-op is either local same-keyboard (or two controllers) drop in at any time, or online.

AHEM! There's sand on my boots!
There seems to be an issue with the secret level in Earheart's Alcove (1-8). After beating the secret level (1-S), the next level number doesn't reset, so the game thinks I'm still in the secret level even with the new level loaded. When I restart the level, it takes me back to the secret level and when I beat the new level, it just reloads it from the beginning when I try to continue.



Hitting restart after entering the secret level brings me back to 1-8 after completing the secret level; hitting continue takes me to 1-9 after, but the bug occurs either way.

I played the game for about an hour just now and I liked it. The art is well done and the sprites are cute and its cool how you get different dialog when you read the notes with either character. Still early, but the puzzles seem to be easing me in well enough. One thing is I got a stuck on 2-4 for a bit because I didn't get that bombs can also be used as platforms. I dunno maybe throw a note in there about that. Also, please switch the jump and swap character buttons as my finely honed gamer reflexes constantly make me press space to jump. I will probably play more tomorrow and give me further impressions. Thanks for the code btw.

So anyway I need people to help break my lovely code. If you post in this thread I'll PM (or email) you a Steam code for Wyv and Keep, as long as you promise to post here and tell me why it sucks.
Or don't promise, whatever, i'll give you one anyway.

I will help try and break your game!

I had a weird bug where after dying in stage 1-S over and over and then finally completing it with as much loot as I could get away with, the next stage 1-9 was listed as 1-S and completing it just started the stage over again. I had to get out of there to the world map to make things better.

Also it is kinda funny to see Wyv start going into his idle pose and have tears gushing from nowhere when Keep got speared. More of a small time graphical bug though.

Yes, and it's mostly because I'm lazy. That's something we really ought to have though, so will probably add it in sometime soon.

Probably not, unless you've got a buddy drinking with you and you can yell at each other for screwing up, but why not find out anyway?

There is, if you suck badly enough at a level you get a crap rating.

I think I've fixed this; just pushed an update to Steam, so either it'll show up on it's own in the next hour or so, or you can restart steam to get it now.
Of course, having done this, I'm sure I'll have just broken ten other things in the process, becuase 'pro' gramming.

Ohhh I remember Wyv and Keep way back (reading about it on SA, anyway). I'll give it a try!! Dunno if I'll find anything gamebreaking but I did just get stuck in an endless dialogue loop in Cognition so anything is possible.

Played for a little bit. The game is very fun, but man, these time ratings are harsh. I feel like I'm speeding through levels and still end up with a silver or stone rating. I guess I'll have to try harder!

I did have to spend a bit of time remapping the controls because I found out that mapping something to a key that's already bound to something else doesn't swap the key, so say if you bind one character's movement to D, and the other character's movement is already bound to that, you'll end up moving both characters at the same time. It'd probably be a good idea to have the game check if a key is already bound, and if it is, swap it with the key you want to bind to an action so that you don't accidentally end up with multiple actions bound to one key. I'd also put all of the controls under one menu with headers to separate them so you can see all of your controls at once.

Haven't run into any bugs just yet, but if I run into that secret level bug, I'll post about it here.

Hmm maybe you should add some details in tutorial pages on some of these stages, maybe have that explorer dude write about his assistant who he uses to shove the box over. Also same with the dynamite in 2-4 since you use it in such a unorthodox way there.

That's a good point actually; I'll do something about that later on if I can figure out how to make it straightforward.
And you're right about the brutal par times, I think i'll have a word to Beau (our puzzle designer) about those.

You've got a point there, and while I'm opposed to taking the modern game rout and telling the player how to solve the puzzles (thereby removing all satisfaction), it's not immediately obvious that they can be used like that, so... we'll figure something out :)

I could see them being fine if they were maybe scaled back by just a second or two. It seems like the ranks drop pretty quickly, maybe a little extra cushion room between hitting silver and hitting stone would help?

e: I got caught in the loop too, so I returned to the map and picked the level again and this time it said 1-9 and the thief lady picked up the note and did read it!!

Yeah, its apparantly a bug with the secret level code. I presume he wants you to only have one go at the stage which is a horrible idea because they are harder than diamond-encrusted dinosaur poo poo.
