Make it Stick

This monday the beta presentation was completed and the entirety of sunday was spent on setting up the game in a presentable state. Many issues had to be addressed, levels had to be playtested, bosses had to be implemented and bug fixed, sounds were missing and etc. We are currently in a state where the game functions as well it can and the focus is now on filling in the blanks.
