- Several unique heroes. each with 4 unique powers.
- Story & Survival modes

- Day & night cycle, more dangerous by night, but more rewards
- Traps here and there
- 2 players in local
Here is a preview of the game :

There is an alpha available on the website but I need to update it with the latest version.
I'm trying to find ways to promote the game online as well as searching for a sound designer to create the game music.
If you have any advices, let me know !
Spooky Heroes : Released on Steam !
Really cool man! I love the style. The art is still raw, but the style is great.
I miss a run button, but thats my opinion.
Thanks for your return.
I didn't think about a run button, it's true it could had some possibilities to the game, I'll think about it (the problem being that all buttons are already used on a gamepad, might need some arrangements)
I forgot to ask about the biggest english forums for indies to present their project. Since I mostly promoted on french forums, I don't have much information about the english indie community.
if you'd be so kind as to give me some tips about it, that would be really helpful !
Thanks again !
