BranjoHello: Please share your impressions.
I need to hear that gameplay is 300% better so I can get over the fact that graphics are 300% worse. XD
Austrobogulator: What makes you say that the graphics are worse? Aside from some bits where the pixels get stretchy, I think the graphics are better. Regardless, the general artstyle is still more or less the same the same.
The gameplay is different, but mostly better. Simply by not being made it Flash, it's better. It definitely feels better to control. There's also a lot of new features - some major ones include: the ability to save and exit, an actual limit of 12 hearts, and bigger rooms.
After seeing
this slightly annoying guy's video I must admit, graphics are a lot better than I first thought, but it will still need a little getting used to after the gorgeous style of the original. I don't mind pixelated graphics but I do mind getting a donkey after owning a horse, if you know what I mean. ;)
Bigger rooms seems ok, and I guess save & exit is for runs when you didn't die but must turn off the game and do something else. What I've seen and like VERY much from that video is that once you make a hole in the wall it stays on, this will for example make those secret rooms with many harts much more useful. There are probably many more "little" improvements like this.
Well, I guess I can finally wishlist it now with my heart container in the right place. :)
