Thanks a lot for the feedback! We added some gameplay options such as the ability to set a damage multiplier for the enemies so everyone can enjoy the game :)

Maybe your son can try it out on the x0 multiplier (when Alex is hit, they only get the knockback and no damage).

We are having a blast with the reception, and I am really happy you considered having your son play Raider Kid. For me, personally, this homage to the Game Boy era is an attempt to have the younger generation take a look back and see how people built very well-designed games back then, and that is not just adult nostalgia haha

My son is too young (less than 2 years old), but I hope we can play Raider Kid with him in the near future.

Nope! We are releasing it next week :)

We're planning on updating the demo here and on Steam with all the changes we made over the past couple of years. It will be mostly about small adjustments, don't expect big content changes! 

The alpha will be made available through Steam (because it has this feature builtin) or through email if someone is interested in providing detailed feedback but doesn't want to install Steam. We will, however, restrict the number of players simply because we won't have time to go through all the feedback if we send it to too many people.

In any case, you're free to join the alpha! We'll make a post about it either this weekend or in the next with the details.

I'm sorry for our slow pace, but it has been hard to cope with our day jobs and personal issues. We're still on it though! The alpha will soon be available and we hope to have the final release early next year. 

The itch.io client says that the game is not compatible with Windows. I downloaded and extracted it using the browser but I am opening this topic just to let you know :)
