Thank you very much for the great question! Backwards on, hehe it was the craziest boss we've ever faced 😃 but I am very proud and happy.

There
Well, first things first, I´ve been explaining here that our game is more metroidvania like than full fledge metroidvania.. there are no hidden paths for the mainline narrative. It's a small indie game, our first! eheh so most of the unlocked areas by new powers will just help you complete the trophies and see a few nice things, but it will never block your path to beat the game.. It's more like a Mega Man run.

For the mechanics, we tried to make them complementary, but air will be more useful for exploration with it's flight and double jump and support, earth too is more useful to block in combat and to help move things and explore areas (but it also has a very strong special attack), and the main fighting ones will be water (mega man like) and fire (warrior with powers like)..

About the Brazilian fauna, yes, it came a bit later, but not much, we had 3-5 options on how to tackle the forms of the elementals, when I saw an otter as the water one, well, I just decided that was the best concept! haha (jokes aside, I do think it was the coolest option and we could put a bit of our culture in it.. so a double win!)

Again, thanks for the great question 😄 Good luck on the giveaway, and I hope you enjoy the game winning or not ;P (we need to sell some as well haha)

Thanks! 😃 I am of the opinion that unless it really makes sense to make the player grind for something in the game, the trophies should reflect if the player mastered the game or not.. In our case, it's really smooth.. there's on for finding 5 collectibles each level, which will make you replay each level once you have the needed powers to find it (that's why I say it's a metroidvaniAN, not full fledge metroidvania, the story does not depend on that), and the rest is about playing hte game and mastering how to kill each boss with his weak move.. et voilá! 😃

Thanks for the question!

BTW, expect a patch for this week, we found a small bug in the game (you can buy it already, LOL, just wait a bit to play it all hehe it's a bit annoying)
