The nations put aside their differences and entered a covenant, with the hope of finding and destroying the source of this portal.

Thanks Guys
Hey guys, Thanks to everyone who participated in the last sale. The game was able to cross the 200 sales mark, so I really appreciate it. I went ahead and reduced the regular price to $3.99. If you have any feedback or criticism of the game, me and other gamers would love to hear it. I'll definitely keep trying to improve the game or at the least, use the feedback on future games. Right now I was working on an update. However, it's pretty big and ambitious, with a lot of re-designs, so I might have to leave it for the sequel. I might try to just use some of the new features on this game, sort of what Capcom did with the omega mode in SF4, where they tested a lot of features that actually went to SF5. I'll definitely keep you guys posted. Thanks again guys, Pedro.Read full article on Community Announcements (tgramsus)AnnouncementsOfficial
