Some players have found Hard mode to be too difficult starting out...and no one wants to admit to needing Easy mode...so I have added a Normal mode to each level--easier than Hard, harder than Easy, as one would expect.

I've also modified some of the settings on the early levels (mostly made them shorter), to get players to the more complex levels sooner.

The biggest changes in this update, however, are behind the scenes. The game has been updated to Unity 2018, I've implemented and object pooling system for the enemy spawners, and have greatly streamlined the code. These changes may result in small improvements in performance, but their real value is in making Willowisp VR much easier to maintain and update.

Willowisp VR will be leaving Early Access soon as I move on to other projects, so if you have any suggestions for improvements, notice any bugs, or have any other comments, any feedback is much appreciated!

Hey everyone,

This update has been a long time coming. Finding and working with vendors when you don't have much money can take a while, but in this case it was worth the wait!

All of the enemies now have real artwork and the swords the swords have been replaced with some awesome-looking mystical blades. Other models, such as buttons and the island have also been significantly improved.

Sound has been improved, both the music and effects, so that it sounds less 8-bit, more orchestral. Further updates on this front to come soon.

Beating levels (and playing in the survival mode) rewards you with Wisp Essences, which you can accumulate to spend in the in-game Store to buy or upgrade your special abilities. There are currently two special abilities available: (1) Slow Time, which as the name implies, temporarily slows down time so you can fight your way out of a tight spot, and (2) Ward, which creates a magical blast in all directions, destroying all enemies nearby and giving you a much-needed breather.

Note: only owners of the full version of the game can access the store, accumulate Wisp Essences, or use the special abilities. The improved art and sound, however, is available to everyone.

So if you haven't played Willowisp in a while or it has been sitting in your Wishlist, now is the time to check it out!
