Hello Ninjas!

Quick update for you this time.

Playtests Extended

Good news - we're extending the playtests until the end of this week (including the weekend), so you've got a bit more time to jump in and explore.

Tutorial level removed

We've also removed the tutorial quest from the build. This means more of you get to jump straight into Forest Valley, the game's first full level, right from the start.

Level will be of course available in the full game but now you'll get quick controlls intro when you play the game for the first time.

Thanks for playing, and see you out there!
