Good Morning! Good Afternoon! Good Evening! Good Night!
First of all thank you to all those who have chosen to follow the news of the game.
I am [b]Olivier Raveneau[/b] a solo game developer creating games using the [b]Mars Touch Studio[/b] trademark. If as a player I've been on Steam for more than 19 years, it's only been 6 months as a developer. I still need a little time to master the platform and its communication tools. Ninja Scroller is my first commercial game and my first on Steam.
I am pleased to announce that the game will be released on [b]March 31 at 18:00 UTC+2[/b]. If you haven't already, I invite you to warm up with the demo. If a demo is used to make people want to play a game, it also allows players to be filtered. This demo will test your [b]obstinacy[/b] and [b]stamina[/b].
You should know that the game was designed and created to be played on the keyboard with the arrow keys. This is how I play and record all my gameplay videos. During development, I added WASD just in case. Then the controller, because some people just can't play the keyboard.
The game natively supports Xbox controllers. For the others, I will configure Steam Input as best I can. So, if you've had any issues with your favorite controller, that probably won't be the case when the game comes out.
[b]Steam Achievements[/b] are built into the game (not the demo). For more fun with your friends, I added [b]a leaderboard by level[/b], which will be available via the [b]community HUB[/b]. My game is not a competitive game, the levels are randomly generated, so having a great time is as much a matter of skill as it is luck. But it's still fun to show off your excellent time and challenge your friends to do better (even if it doesn't make much sense in all rigor).
At the time of writing this article my game is on [b]532 Whislist[/b]. So after the release, if you like the game, [b]leave a comment[/b], it will be [b]very valuable[/b].
Coming to the end of the road for this game, I will be able to focus again on the following one:

[b]I wish you good game.[/b]

If you want to test Mars Touch Studio games from the prototype stage and therefore long before a Steam demo is available.
