Bad Pad
Update version 0.62b released!
http://steamcommunity.com/games/517210/announcements/detail/1448324800235444989
And a few new stuff,
We're experimenting a little with the underwater controls, from now on, holding the run buttons gives you a steady little boost for vertical movements only, horizontal movements are not affected, but the default speed is faster than before.
Pressing the run button together with either left or right will fast dash in that direction, give it a try!
A new enemy type is introduced in the beginning of act 2, a skeleton robot, he patrols the castle, he can throw bones at you and if you're close enough he will hit you, you can't kill it, but you can drop bash around it to stop it for a few seconds (note, the skeleton has not been designed yet, it's using temp graphics).
There is a new rotating blade with a slightly different mechanic as a replacement for some of the saw-blades throughout the game.
There are also a couple of new scenes in act 2 with magnet gloves sections.
Update version 0.6b - coming this weekend!
Firstly, we have a new cinematic credits sequence featuring the hard rocking song "Gain The Control" by the amazing Stellar Lane, check them out!

A few control changes, high-jump on springs is now done with holding UP instead of jump and using the glider ability is used by double clicking and holding jump instead of holding UP.
All remaining tutorial converted from text to visual and updated with the latest controls scheme.
Added a few more saving spots on normal difficulty and much more on easy difficulty.
Music will now continue playing when you die instead of returning to the position it was saved at, some people found it annoying :)
Map layout updated to work with resolution selection.
Cutscene, new skipping method, instead of just using escape or back on the gamepad, you can now hold down any button for a couple of seconds to skip.
New music for act 2 updated music for act 1.
Added all new/missing text to language file (no translations yet).
Added quick option access from in-game menu.
New abilities screen, accessed from the in-game menu and also pops up when gaining a new ability.
Updated design and animations for the following enemies on act 4.
New design for the magnet gloves/platforms and on act 4 a new matching animation for Square's .
New background elements for act 2 and 3.
Updated tilemap for act 4.
NWjs wrapper updated to latest version.
Fixed a few more reported bugs.
Stay Tuned!
Rock and Ro!!
I've started recording a couple of them and will record a couple more next week.
A new game patch with new music and more will be released by the end of next week, stay tuned!
Time to grab my guitar!

Update version 0.54b released!
I added resolution selection to the game, which will allow slower machines to run the game more smoothly with lower settings.
This was quite a task, I had to redo all the camera logic for the game, mini-games, arcades, cut-scenes, menus, boss levels etc, then go over all the layouts and fix the scale rate and on some cases adjust the scene itself.
I did some extensive testing of all the game, went through all the layouts and double checked, but it is possible that I missed something, small things like the background layer is off by a few pixels, so there's a blank hole where a wall should be.
If you'll come across anything like this, please let me know.
This update also include some new graphics.
New keyboard shortcuts
F1 - toggle fullscreen
F2 - cycle resolution
F3 - toggle auto-run mode
Version 0.53b update released!
If you'll get to act 4, keep in mind it's very drafty.

Update version 0.51b released - Lottery started!
Bad Pad version 0.51b
The Lottery has now started, available only through the demo, look for the daily lottery card and you might win a free copy of Bad Pad!
More info about the Lottery can be found HERE.
We worked on boss fights 4-6
We added a new arcade machine game that leads to the final 4th act, in this game there is also a new boss fight.

We started replacing all the tutorials with images instead of texts, some of them are more trickier to pass as an image than others, but we'll get there.
We started working on Act 4, the first level is almost done.
In act 4 you will also get to play TrapeZoid from the other side of the screen, inside Evil Pen's game world.
TrapeZoid will help Square advance in the real world, by manipulating the castle through Pen's main frame.
Trapezoid moves slower than Square, he jumps lower and has no abilities, but in the game world, gravity is very tricky, use it to your advantage!
Early protoype of the game world
