This release features a new voice from our VA as well as (2) sketches of BGM from our composer. The BGMs are still incomplete, and we are still testing the best mood/atmosphere to incorporate into the BGMs. Right now inspirations are from the "Golden Axe" games, but if you (our players) have references or possibly something that you think would be better for the AoA universe, I'd like to hear them out (in fact AoA needs it!).

I've also included (3) new boss-specific player-dominant animations, one for each of the first 3 bosses. To trigger them, you only need to run up to them (like how enemies do to the player when knocked down) during their near-death state, with the "Finish" notation. This is intended as a reward for having defeated bosses.
Dominate bosses!
The new sex skill passive isn't intended to change the gameplay in any drastic ways. The effects are mild, and is triggered on maxing out your lust bar. Right now they'll last forever, at least until you gameover or changed the sex skill.

  1. Default - Gain 1 HP. No added effects.
  2. Pure - Lose 1 HP. Gain great +knockback but slower stamina recovery.
  3. Lust - Recovery all HP. Reduced stamina-use on charging skills, but take increased stamina damage.

Your feedback can help me improve AoA, so I'd greatly appreciate if you can tell me how you feel about:

  1. The choice of BGM. If you think a different music might be better, I'd like to hear references for new inspiration as well.
  2. The new voices. Re-recordings might be possible.
  3. The current game difficulty.

!! Oh right before I forget, press 'M' to change BGMs. Pressing 'N' will fade-in and out of music.
