The way swimming works is you hold the left mouse button down to start swimming. If you start holding it when the cursor is far enough away (the cursor changes its graphic to show you how far you are) then Naija will do a little speed burst. If you start holding it close, she'll just start swimming normally.

So if you click and aim at a wall at the right distance, she'll leap towards and attach to the wall. You can hang out on the wall as long as you want. Then you can click on/close to Naija to detach, or click far to do a wall jump. Its a good way to dodge certain enemies quickly.

If you hold it and rotate the cursor around Naija fast enough she'll start rolling.

There's a bunch of other lil' tricks you can do, and most have a couple different effects/uses. But I don't want to give too much away. :)

I was thinking of making a gameplay video. Not another story trailer, but straight up gameplay footage with info on how the controls work. But I wouldn't want to do that until near/after release.

Yeah, I wonder how much you are planning to spill..
Like, how many spells are going to be easy to get? (bascicly, the obvious ones to get)
Abilitys?
Foes?

But It's too early to find that out, I suppose.

Since you are going to be adding stuff until the game is released  ;D

Oh, Alec....?

You're posting too much. Back to work ya' little Sea monkey!

Just out of curiosity, but in the Mac version, are you taking into account that many Mac users don't have multibutton mice?  My understanding is that you can also use the keyboard to navigate.  Is that correct?

Yeah, we're aware of that. ;)

PC version supports: MOUSE, KEYBOARD and X360 CONTROLLER FOR WINDOWS currently.

Mac version will be tweaked to work well with one button mouses. But we won't be looking into that full time until the PC version is done.

No worries.  And I don't mean to pester.  You can always tell me to enjoy a nice cup of Shut the F*ck Up. ;)

Oh.  Sorry.  Nevermind, then.  I thought you were yelling.  Though you are still free to tell me to be quiet anytime you like.

This monkey pwns all other monkeys by its sophistication and fishing skillz.

On topic...  What kind of an interaction can we except from the other sea critters and the scenery?

That is a chimpanzee.  Chimpanzees are apes, not monkeys.

That being said, that ape pwns.
