Alpha Build #2 - New Enemy and Updated Levels!





It's been just over a week since we launched our first Alpha build of Andrecca and now we have quite a few fixes and additions ready for build #2!  We have a new enemy for our Haunted House themed levels, the Jack-O-Lantern (See above).  This enemy moves by hopping around the board.  When in the air, it can't be flipped, you need need to flip him when it lands.  It can be tricky, but I think it adds a little more variety to the levels!

Speaking of variety, all 24 of the levels have been revamped to include more variety and challenge to them.  If you played Build #1 and would like to to try these new levels, you will need to create a new character to start at the beginning, otherwise, you can play with your current character's progression.  If your current character completed level #3, your game will still continue at level #4, but you won't be able to play the revamped levels 1 through 3.

For those of you who are new to Andrecca, you can find information on how to play here or you can click the "Game Information" link on the top right of this blog.  That page will continue to be updated as we progress.

As always, if you have any questions, suggestions, comments, feel free to post on this blog, chat with us on Twitter (@TeamAndrecca), or send us an email (TeamAndrecca@gmail.com)! Thank you for your support and we hope you enjoy!
