Soooo, how has work been progressing?

Tim (escapader) is doing a great job on music. I've got area 1 and boss music so far.

Area 3 is completed. It has a cool and sort of puzzly boss. Sort of.

Also probably your first preview on area 3. :D You'll like it.

The game has been made easier!

Combos have been added. This to encourage people to enter combat. (@Cesque: easier + combos, game is non sniping now. ;) )

Now to add some hit effects, save scores in menu, boss scores, and area 4. Then you'll get the final demo before release.
