Unicopia Beta time
Unicopia » Devlog
I'm pleased to announce the release of Unicopia's first beta (v0.3.0).
Available in the new 6-level demo are greedy and speedy awards, the ability to drop-through one-way platforms, controls to peek up and down the level, and numerous tweaks such as updated difficulty balancing, and enhanced jumpenomics.
! ! ! Coming Soon ! ! !
Closed beta testing will kick-off in June, so drop me a DM or comment if you'd like to join the Discord and experience the game in full, including 3 modes, over 40 levels, and rainbows of retro fun.
