Absolutely Barbaric Pre-Beta 0.5.5: Tutorial & upcoming level: 'The Forlorn Caves'

For this update I have added a tutorial level which you can access through the now activated tutorial switch in the title menu. You can learn and practice all relevant game mechanics like attacking and evading without being killed!

======

Besides, I'm already working on new assets for the next levels: The Forlorn Caves. It will be a procedurally generated cave/dungeon system with 5 floors which are each about 1/4 of the size of the starting level.

There will be mushrooms and crystals instead of grass and vases and the crystals will sometimes spawn the rare gold diamond!

You'll be fighting rats, bats and a third, yet to be announced enemy type and you'll fight the goblin king on the 5th and last floor of The Forlorn Caves.

I've attached a few screenshots to show the new assets!

Visit my Twitter account to see short videos of the destroying animations! 😉

Here's the changelog for the current version:
