The goal is to have 7 levels and the existing 3 playable characters for the initial release with a 4th one coming on a later date as free DLC.
Depending on how the game is received more stages and gameplay mechanics could also be added, any further additions to the game will also be free.

Update #8
There is now an option menu where you can invert Y axis, enable a VHF filter and turn the music off.
Arcade and story modes have also been merged.
Some of you have asked how to reset all inputs to default, this seems to be a Unity thing and I will look in to it in more detail but for the time this seems to be the best way:
"Access registry editor function on pc by pulling up the run command, Windows Key + R. Once run query box pulls up enter "regedit" with out quotation marks.
In the left panel under the computer icon click on the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER-> SOFTWARE-> pelikan 13. The pelikan 13 folder can be deleted since that is were The TakeOver's config for controller is stored.
Once you delete that folder you can go back to Steam and validate game files. That will force The TakeOver to redownload a default config file. Big props to Mr. Risky for this info"
This is copied and pasted from the community discussions, thank you very much Zooism!

-New combo finisher for the male character.
-All characters including AI have been named.

-New post process filter to give the game a softer look.
