I've been wanting to get a copy of this ever since I saw the first video of it during the coding event. Unfortunately I refuse to back any more games on Kickstarter due to previous projects I got burned on but I'll buy a copy once it's released.

Backer 149 here! Got the Dinky CIB set, can't wait! Played the demo, and it feels great! I hope the full game has enough content. Controls feel quite good (a bit slippery, but not bad) so be sure to polish up those levels to par with them, there is a lot of platforming to be done with this!

Thanks for supporting the project !
We're currently working on the game content / story to make it as long and interesting as we can !

I totally respect that. I'm not sure that if I tell you that "this one will be different", it would change your mind   However, I can assure you that we are 200% working on it and that we want this one to be the first of a long list, so it has no interest in being delayed ! I hope that Twin Dragons will live up to your expectation.

Btw! Would it be possible to have the rom of the full game (together with the game delivery in december) to put it to everdrive and not having to use the actual kickstarter item to play it - I know that close to piracy but I don't have the tools to dump the rom from the cart to use it on my everdrive to play it.

Sorry, I haven't planned to deliver the ROM for now.
The digital version will be the only way to play the game without using the cartridge.

It doesn't help but here are some tips to keep backers happy:
- don't miss your launch date. If you think it'll take a year, tell people 2 years. There will always be delays and I've never seen a Kickstarter game hit their launch date, it's completely frustrating.

- don't try adding features into the game that weren't part of the Kickstarter. Put them in the next game, if people backed the game without those features listed, then they aren't that important.

- don't allocate finances nor resources to ports that weren't part of the Kickstarter campaign. Too many times I've seen announcements of, "Hey, good news, we're going to release an unexpected Switch/PS4/Xbox version of this game!" No, I gave you my money expecting it to be allocated towards a version I specifically wanted, not another version that wasn't listed. Especially when you missed your launch date in the first place, that is infinitely frustrating. Allocating resources for a project somewhere other than the project requirements is a sign of poor management. Release that version after everything else is done.

If you could promise me all of this then I would back it but unfortunately there's no way to know that so I'll buy it when it comes out. I promise.

Really excited for this. Backed it earlier today as I've been eyeing it for a while. Got my finances all in order and looks like I can afford it, and I couldn't be more stoked!

Where did you get that ? I used Shiru's SFX engine, but he's not making the music. My friend Matt from Please Lose Battle is though

Im still curious to hear the music, the graphics and gameplay look neat

The Kickstarter video has no sound ?! That's weird   It has here though.

You can download the ROM or test it online (see the DEMO section of the Kickstarter page). There is a jukebox option in the main menu where you can listen to the game's music.

Thanks for the kind word
