I hope so, too :3 Thanks!

Thanks ^^

You have a Vita?! -highfive- :D

Welcome back, hon <3

I can only answer number 5: they have stickers (which I waaaaant). pins, and post cards. Was there something in particular you were after? I know the dev also intends to make a demo available, so hopefully that'll sway some folks.

For the rest, i'll head over and email Rox ^^

Alright, here you go:

1: The camera has some issues and is definitely still being worked on, we have some space within which you can move without camera following. However the primary camera issue we face is that once you've collected enough energy, the player can move around a lot quite quickly, so we're looking at a possible approach with zoom level being set further out if you have more energy and also hoping to learn from games like sonic the hedgehog and jazz jackrabbit in terms of high speed platform camera techniques.

2: When you first boot up the game, the alien planet map is generated and the same random seed is then used throughout your gameplay and controls the platform level generation on tiles in the map. This also means that if you revisit the same tile on the same map, it'll contain the same platform level. In the standard difficulty, if you fail at a level, you're thrown back out onto the map with reduced energy, and can choose to replay it, or pick a new nearby tile to play (kind of like losing money or xp on death in a dungeon crawler like diablo)

3: That's not a final cover, it's a placeholder. I'll be working with Disasteradio and/or Anna Johnstone to make something far cooler for the cover :)

4: I would love to release on Vita, however, every console platform has a bunch of sizeable fees associates with getting it approved, plus the extra dev time. So we're leaving consoles and handhelds as stretch goals at this stage if we reach our initial funding. If the stretch goals are not met but on launch game does well on PC and Mac then we will have funding from that which we can use to start looking at other platforms again. Personally I really really want this game on consoles and handhelds as we already have controller support, and the gameplay feels quite natural that way.

5: There are some physical goods in the Deluxe tier and above.

6: Yes there as some KS exclusive gameplay items in the tiers, with the deluxe tier including the rainbow laser, and the secret squirrel club including a secret new skin for Dynabot.
