An update so soon?! Whaaaa?!

Hey guys yet again,
Yesterday I have launched LOI demo to the universal sound of booing and dodging some rotten tomatoes.
Some people have complained of the game being unplayably slow - well, I think I have found the solution. Give it another try here:

Other things have been updated as well.

• Added an option to turn the controller support on and off from the options menu (possibly slowdown-related)
• Added Xbox360 D-Pad support.
• Remapped menu buttons to better reflect the Xbox360 proper button layout - A select, B cancel (this translates to keyboard input of X select, C cancel)
• Fixed a few kernel_obj errors caused by improper game reset.
• Added some wicked speedhack to allow the game to run on even the slowest of computers (well, slowest of MODERN computers, I should've said - I'm sure there is a 486DX66 you'd love to run this on: )
• Fixed a few collision and control issues, but no radical changes yet. (don't worry though, I'm listening, and will try to find compromises where I can).

Anyway! Gotta run.

Cheers guys!.

DEMO GET!

Hey guys!
Crazy stuff - I've made a LOI demo!

Go here and download it:

Mediafire
Sendspace
..or my personal dropbox

I warn you though, the demo is rough. It contains some art unfinished or placeholders, all-placeholder sound, missing effects and objects and code.

WINDOWS 8 WARNING!: DUE TO A CONFIRMED BUG IN W8 GAME MAKER GAMES HAVE ALL SORTS OF SOUND ISSUES - INCLUDING CRASHING. TO FIX THIS - DISABLE SOUND EFFECTS FROM THE OPTIONS MENU.

General notes:

• The game is written in GM8.1, so Windows8 people have to turn the sound effects all the way down in order not to anger the cruel gods of Microsoft. 
• You MUST unzip the entire game including the external files and folders.
• The demo can be controlled with either the cursor keys+ZXC, or the WASD+123, which can be switched in the options menu.
• The game also supports controllers - the button layouts for 360 controller and a sidewinder can be swapped in the options as well.
• There is an unfinished "8-bit" version of the game in the EXTRAS menu.
• Powerup items can be collected by standing over them and pressing up.
• Iya can climb ledges when you jump to them and hold up.
• Iya has two attack types - quick and strong. Tap attack button for quick, hold - for strong.
• While in the air Iya can either slam enemies down with down+attack, or kick them up higher with up+attack.
• Explore the area. There is one hidden powerup object and one health upgrade.
• Save rooms are activated by standing in the middle and pressing up.
• The sound and music are a placeholder. I have an awesome musician lined up for the project, but first I need some sweet, sweet Kickstarter money to pay him.
• Badgers WILL mess you up... as will the bear... as will the bosses.

Hopefully - have fun: )
