HAPPY HOLIDAYS
HOLIDAY CHEER!
Here's our Lilith themed Demon's Tilt virtual tree.
Thanks for all the support this year! We have some exciting announcements coming up at the top of 2019 that I'm sure you'll all enjoy. While you're gathered around with friends and family--don't forget the spirit of the season....and ASK THEM TO WISHLIST DEMON'S TILT!!!
DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
Mini-FAQ:
I wanted to write a little blurb about the magic system.
Can pink bullets/magic hurt the ball?
Nope! the ball is indestructible, Magic and baddies can't 'hurt' it--it doesn't have HP. The only way the ball dies is if it drains on tier 1, or if you tilt out.
Pink Magic
Pink Magic is used by enemies to impede movement. It is a temporary obstacle for new players. At times it can home in on you if hexed by an enemy. Advanced players will use Pink Magic to their advantage for scoring. The ball can break it for modest point value. You can convert it to gold medals and bank jackpots. Pink Magic can keep your combo chain going. You can even convert it to Green Homing Magic to kill enemies for you.
Green Magic
Heat seeking Green Magic will automatically target squishy baddies and clear the way. Light votives on the playfield early and permanently increase your PURIFY POWER, this persists every ball so a quick scoring strategy is to light these early.
Thanks!

THREADING THE NEEDLE!
Not a Skillshot...but it could be!
Dev Update:
Progress is going well. We spent the last week working on the results screen, including per-game and historical stats.
Soon we will start implementing a new system called SEANCE.
These are special sequences/shots you can complete within scoring windows for a BONUS JACKPOT.
WORSHIP THE GOAT
MORE BOSS WORK!
Working up his attacks and defenses. The pentagrams boomerang back and he can spawn Demon Eyes for a faux multiball to psych you out. (bat them back at him for a bonus)
Also based on internal feedback, we added a screen-hurt effect when your Tilt-Bob comes dangerously close to tilting. (this can be disabled from options)
WHO'S THE BOSS?
THE HORROR OF HOMUNCULI
The bosses are coming in nicely! Stay tuned....the Early Access release date announcement is imminent!!!
PREPARE
SCORPIO MULTIBALL ACTION
PLAYTEST MULTIBALL CAPTURE:

UPDATE ON COMFORT OPTIONS:
Ability turn off screen shake & flashers just got implemented. More comfort options to come, including the camera tuning. Keep the feature requests coming, everything is considered or it will get bumped up the list.
The updates are coming in fast and furious!
