Linked Mask Game Boy Port is live on Kickstarter!!!
Finally after a lot of effort we bring you the Kickstarter of the Gameboy version of Linked Mask! The truth is that it has always been our dream to create a game for the original console, as you could see in the original PC game, we did our best to make the game have a gameboy aesthetic, now in collaboration with more friends this is possible!
As you can see, we have tried to keep the style of the videogame so that it adapts well to the limitations of the console without losing its characteristic style!
So thank you very much for the interest you have had in the game, due to budget issues we could not continue fixing it or adding new features, believe me I really want it to be so but it has been extremely complicated, so I put the effort to create this version, I hope you like the demo!

v0.3.4
We have checked and removed a lot of instances where some grass and spikes were in the same tile making the spikes very hard to see.
We have fixed the placement of some foreground elements in the Learn section so these don't obstruct the view when jumping is required.
Colliders of the world were reviewed and fine-tuned, there were some weird slope and walls that now have correct collision shapes.
Fixed a soft-lock bug in the Kaizo zone where if you got to the second checkpoint and the Crusher killed you just there it's position didn't reset, making you respawn inside the Crusher killing you over and over again.

Some changes have been done to help you better go through the Kaizo zone :)
v0.3.3
Updated the Electrical Lines sprites so their On and Off states are way easier to differentiate.
Updated a part on the Kaizo Zone where a small jump needed to be performed, the jump is still required but the gap to go through is a little bigger to make it easier to go by.
FIxed a bug in the Start zone where some rocks didn't reset properly upon dying, You could collide with those rocks, even break them but not seem them. This is now fixed.

Play New Demos by HypeTrain Digital – Steam Game Festival
Hi!
We’re delighted to take part in the Steam Game Festival (June 16 - June 22), which is already live now! Throughout the event we've brought demos for each of the 8 games we are currently working on.
All of them are in different genres, settings and styles. You will surely find something that piques your interest! All the content available for Steam Summer Festival is free, some demos are long, some allow infinite play. Here is a little sneak peek of every title available.
Voidtrain
Voidtrain is a first-person action/survival game where you become a crew member of an interdimensional express. Build your own train, upgrade it, craft weapons and travel across different mysterious worlds full of outlandish creatures, Nazis and other dangers.
https://youtu.be/o0bIODWSX5Y
Voidtrain’s demo features a base loop of the game, where you’ll be able to travel between biomes on your train, gather resources to upgrade it and stop by interdimensional train depots filled with Nazis ought to be defeated.
Tunche is a charming, hand-drawn beat'em up hack and slash game with roguelike elements, co-op and a pinch of shaman witchcraft. Visit the amazonian jungle alone or together with your friends, choose one of the 5 unique characters and hack through hordes of enemies!
And if you like A Hat in Time, we got a big surprise for you — Hat Kid will be the 5th Playable Character in the game. Moreover, you’ll be able to test her in the demo!
Do you miss the golden era of Game Boy? Linked Mask is a 2D platformer that will make you reminiscent of the good old days, where a player has to overcome six towers, collect six masks containing elemental powers and ultimately conquer the Castle of the Primals. And there’s a chillingly cool soundtrack that will make your head bop as you traverse the deadly Towers!
Plunge into a VHS-era cyberpunk world of Jack Move, an RPG featuring japanese style turn based battles and gorgeous Hi-Bit pixel art. Take on the role of Noa, a vigilante hacker who is thrust into a world of murder, kidnapping and dark research after her father goes missing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yOLVvhsJFw
There’s a brand new demo of Jack Move available that features a new slums area, a new dungeon and a whole bunch of new enemies for you to tangle with.
Black Book is a dark RPG Adventure based on Slavic mythology and featuring card-based combat. You will take on the role of Vasilisa, a young sorceress on a quest to revive her beloved one. In order to do so, she has to uncover all the 7 seals of Black Book — a demonic artefact, said to be powerful enough to grant any wish.
The demo features an essential part of the story — the First Day of Vasilisa becoming a witch. You’ll be able to test test the core game mechanics, battle regular demons and even test your strength in a fight against a boss.
There Is No Light is a pixel-art action adventure in a dark post-apocalyptic setting, which tells a story of a protagonist fighting against a fallen underground civilization and its appalling religious rituals.
In this demo you’ll be able to explore a small part of the game world. Visit a village, the existence of which remained unknown for a long time. Find out how people live in the underground world ruled by the Church of the Great Hand. Find your own playstyle by combining 3 available weapon types, so that eventually you can fight a giant boss Behemoth that gets in your way to freedom.
Tower Princess is a 3D roguelike action platformer where you'll have to beat a dungeon, defeat a dragon, rescue a princess/prince and manage a perfect date with them! There’s a wide variety of royalty members you can hit on — you’ll be able to find someone you like even if you’re not into humans.
The demo is a linear and brief sample of a run in one of the Castle's areas. It shows the visuals and the core gameplay of Tower Princess, but it's focused on the princess aid in combat, as without her help, you wouldn't stand a chance against the Evil Dragon. Are you ready to test yourself as a knight in shining armour?
SuchArt is a painting sim game featuring you being such an amazing artist. Really you rock, your latest DNA test is very positive about it. Now please paint, sell and expose your art from your new studio aboard the Space City. And don’t forget — the only limit is the size of your brush (or a flamethrower).
SuchArt demo features a separate room (a virtual studio instead of a real one you’ll get in the full game) with a limited amount of tools and an introductory part of the story. However, you’ll be able to test the core game mechanics and take a couple of commissions from virtual clients, which is already fun!
We have made a quick update to address some small issues with the Linked Mask Demo.
v0.3.2
The game now starts by default in full-screen and with vSync on. If you already opened the game before this fix you will have to start a Stage, open the pause menu, go to options and there change the resolution manually. These options are saved for when you reopen the game.
A few checkpoints, tiles, and cameras have been fine tunned to look better.
Additional gameplay elements have been added to the Kaizo zone.

Learn Preview
Hello everyone.
Next week the Demo will go live! We have made quite some updates to the demo that we hope you highly enjoy, there is still a lot of work to be done in this last stretch of development, but we are very excited to show to the public what we have.
[previewyoutube="N4En-R2HjSU;full"]
The truth in Linked Mask will be known trough the Masks that Viewer will collect in his adventure, but you also need to learn how to use them, each Tower will feature a Learn zone filled with the frozen souls that keep these places alive. Master Thunder and earn your right to keep the Mask.
The hands shaped a path so you could know why Linked Mask is so eccentric in its way to show its detailed pixel art, regardless of all the technical limitations, the game feels like one.
Our hands are willing to change.
I hope you are looking forward to playing the game!
The Spoonman Games team.
New Demo release Date!
Hello!
Just recently we have noticed that Steam has delayed The Steam Game Festival Summer Edition to June 16th, 10 AM PDT. We are part of this event so the demo itself won't be available until the Festival starts.
I hope you can keep up with us for another week while we wait for the event to begin! In the meantime, we have worked some updates for the demo so at least you will have more content to enjoy :)
