I am pleased to present the final version of AVOIDAL. It has gone through heavy changes since my last post-compo post.
I’ve been working very hard on it since Ludum Dare concluded and have put about 30 more hours of work into it (or about 50 or so total on this game so far.) I wanted to be able to get this finished in time to submit to August’s Experimental Gameplay Project since I was aware of their theme of “Zero Buttons” while I worked on this and I was able to do it!
Big thanks to Sparky who has given me a TON of invaluable feedback and ideas while tweaking this final version.
The menu should read v1.0.7 or greater in the top-left or your cache is old.
