Is it mouse only?

A bit of both. Mostly keyboard for the player characters. Mostly mouse for the spirit mode.

The download will be free for all of April 1st. Use your Haven accounts to log in.

As I understand, "Boats of Skye" is free to download after April 1st.
Am I correct or did I misunderstand something?

The game run to fast, no time to read stuff or understanding anything, could you put a clock button to adjust the game speed, reducing by 10x would be fine for my tast.

I agree this.

Theres not that much time to read the popups as things happen in such a rapid pace.

I'll up the pause timer on announcements. Maybe make a setting for it. Unfortunately the game is frame based, rather than time based, so increasing/decreasing the game speed is hard. Arguably that should be changed, but that's a bigger deal.

EDIT: Doubled the pause timer on announcements, at least.

Also, I've made a new background effect if you download the latest version. It's pretty trippy!

Added a vehicle in the Moon Rokkit. Most systems could with relative ease be adapted to fit the concept of a vehicle, as there was already support for object ownership, and object controlled permissions. The Rokkit claims the Puddyman and uses its own control function to take over his keyboard input. Some of the "challenges" in the implementation involved changing parts of the draw code to use SDL's SDL_RenderCopyEx function, to allow the rocket to rotate. Another thing was to preserve collisions between the dork and beneficial objects like quest items, shekels, and weapons, even while he's inside the Rokkit.

Nothing crazy. Glorious zip-zapping fun. Available in the latest version.
