Wait, you're saying that if I were to attempt to invite "Player X" for example on my friends list through the in-game list, it may actually send it to someone else on my friend's list?

Yeah. I don't know if anyone else is having that issue as well. fallout's name was on the same page but in different positions which I'm assuming was the page for usernames starting with O-R for me because it sent invites to those people instead. Like fallout said, just right click the person you want to play with on your friends list in Steam and click Join Game.

Just had my first desync. It was in the middle of a great match too

Now that you've brought it up, I think that answers that problems I was having earlier with two different people I was intentionally trying to play with. They weren't getting chat notifications of an invite or anything, so they had to manually click join game in the steam chat drop down menu.
I actually just ran into this issue, what the fuck ugh
I do.

I thought about adding this guide to the OP but its fun and easy to figure out on your own--there's nothing really obscure. whereas the guide makes it look intimidating I feel.

So, invites don't work at all? That's kind of a bummer.

The game has a pretty neat demo screen if you're inactive in the main menu for long enough.

Year's still new mate, I'm sure something will outdo them in due time.
I did see a post calling it a Poor Man's Prince Of Persia. ..so that's leave the planet worthy. Why'd you make me read them Clawww!? Now my head hurts too.
The cloud stage is the best. Dat music.
I could see that, totally. I like this much more though. HM was so hard it was unplayable for me after a certain point. I've only been playing arcade mode and I'm not sure I'll ever go through it all. There's only four levels though, so that's fine with me. Gonna introduce it to friends tomorrow.
It's everything Divekick wanted to be.

It definitely has one of the best songs in the game, but that first screen is rough. I can barely see the sword at times.

Yeah there's definitely some form of host advantage in the netcode unfortunately. I just had someone say that the match was choppy for them while it was perfectly smooth on my end.

I both love and hate that they stuck with colors for the cloud background that make sword throws really hard to see.
hey this guy's solid, he kicked my ass

He was pretty good as well, he managed to roll into/throw a sword three times in a row. Crazy!

So how would you guys rank the stages? My list goes like this:
Castle
Mines
Wild
Cloud
It's a bit of a toss up between Castle and Mines. I think I like them about the same really.

I've played a ton of the pre release version, so here are a few tips till I can tear into the full release. I'm pretty decent on defense, but I suck at offense.
1. If someone jumps at you, MOVE BACK. Dive kicks are nasty, but if they come up short you can punish them. FORCE THEM TO COME UP SHORT.
2. If you can't move back, a well timed jump and throw will grant an easy kill on a divekicker.
3. when fencing, try tapping towards your enemy rapidly. This is called the "Fast advance" and it lets you strike unexpectedly.
4. Learn to disarm. it stops those fast advancers and it can be really effective in tight spaces. To disarm, simply move your sword up or down onto their sword.
5. If you are behind a guy, just run the other way and get a re spawn. Trying to catchup will give them 3 free spawns.
6. If you get a kill, try dive kick running. Do short hops with continuous dive kicks. You can gain a lot of speed and possibly skip a tough spawn (IE, room spawns in the castle)
7. Abuse ledges. If you have the highground you are TOUGH to beat. bide your time. If you are low, try and fake them out. A high sword throw is probably your best bet, but I've seen perfect dive kicks save that situation.

lol. Played my first online match. It was on the Castle stage, I think. I did okay, constant back and forth between me and the other player. I was on the verge of victory three times, and I accidentally fell to my death every time (I would blame lag ). On the third time, the other guy was disarmed, and he made a huge comeback from my side of the map to his, entirely unarmed without dying.
I would consider that "Choke Detection" on my part.

i think its part of the unique challenge of the stage. each stage has a combination of the following:
platforming
obscured vision
not being able to throw a sword
forced fencing area
etc
its sort of the appeal of each stage, i think, that they are so unique. it might suck when you can't see what's going on and you're playing against an AI, but its hardly something that is game breaking IMO.
these people would complain if the game was a dollar. 15 is really not that much in the grand scheme of things, and besides it is going to get a lot of use in tournament settings. the steam community talking about the way it looks is also pretty ridiculous lol
if anyone wants to play me, i'm on the west coast: http://steamcommunity.com/id/davepoobond/
also, lol at the achievement NSA -- 1000 intelligence gathered. i have no idea what the hell that is.

I'm on crappy wifi, so I was juttering all over the place.
Still fun, I won 3/5. I'm loving the mix of level designs. He cleared up a few of my major issues from the pre-release version.
Lack of dpad support on xbox 360 controller is wtf though.

I would agree with that list. The more vanilla stages (where nothing is obfuscating the player's vision) are where the combat mechanics shine the most.

I'm enjoying playing with quite a few people from here and seeing how their play styles fare differently from each other. Some love to take calculated risks with sword throws, others have low stabs down to a tee or are divekick happy. It's great to see this have some natural flexibility akin to a fighting game yet with only one permanent moveset.
good stuff
some things I've been keeping in mind re: divekicks
-Don't divekick when you're defending--the enemy can roll under and you're finshed, just like that.
-Against divekicks, you can jump backwards and divekick forward, or jump straight up and dive kick backwards
-Forward jump into backwards divekick can make for a useful bait
Yes! It's so bright. That makes it sort of love/hate, actually.

Game's really fun but the online is ass so I'm pretty much done 'til it gets fixed. I think local coop would be incredible but I don't have the option.
