Hi! Thank you for your post. Regarding the trial/demo status of QLRZ, I answered the message you left on the game's page:
"QLRZ is indeed a demo. Albeit I had high hopes for it when I published it in 2015, after developing it for almost 3 years, it never got a lot of downloads (think < 500). So Arcade mode is not locked to premium buyers, it's a feature that was on the roadmap for a future development that simply never occured. Hope you still had fun with the part of the game that does exist!"
Also, apologies about any technical difficulties you might have encountered related to the installation of the game. Don't hesitate reporting any specific error message you might get.
Thanks again, and have a nice day!
Thanks for verifying
The game was cool but also I feel the stuff coming down the screen was moving too fast seeing how many specific different ways you had to interact with the objects before they hit the bottom... all it needed was a slower pace and a bit more balancing IMO.
As for the Arcade mode; you might want to remove the category or place an 'Under Construction' notice
Hey, and while I got you here: who did the cover art with the dragon? Scott Ross?
Well that's a fresh take! I've been under the assumption that 'easy' mode was too slow vs normal and hard. Now I can see there's also room for something slow. And balancing, of course, can't ever have too much of that.
I should make things clearer regarding the demo / vertical slice status of the game, work something around the 'arcade' mode too. It's definitely on the TODO list. Keep in mind that "one does not simply build a 7 years old code base" 😂
The cover art, as well as all the gorgeous hand painted art in the game and a good chunk of the game design is by Lionel Prats, more of his art on :
