Here's a combo with another one of the new secret characters, "Trois", he's Sparrow's boss? roommate? sugar daddy? it's not very clear... to find out how they really feel about each other, you'll have to play through the game's story mode :)

story mode is separated into 42 chapters, but you don't have to read them all in order, most of the time, you'll have multiple chapters to choose from, based on what you've read so far :)

Here's an easy wall to wall combo you can do in speed mode with Leaf. :)

Here's some gameplay of one of the new secret characters, Athena! She has good long range options with her 214x and 22x, and a strong pressure option with her 236B/C, which sets a spellcard on the ground that activates an attack when the opponent touches it :)

Heatwave's last major update, will be available on NOVEMBER 12!!! It will also be releasing on steam then as well. Most notably, it will contain a ~100k word visual novel story mode, and 4 new "secret" characters, along with balance changes, and bug fixes. ❤️

Athena is one of the "secret" characters that will finally be available in the 1.0 update/steam launch, her moveset is a little different from the first time I showed her :)

decided to add a second font style for the story mode text, for people who might have trouble reading the default pixel font (this was actually a lot more work than it looks lol)

strange seeing the main menu without the "coming soon" that's been over the story mode option for so long...

She saw a UFO

The final-ish edits to the story mode are complete!!!! All that's left is finalizing the last secret character and making her combo trials :O

I finished another chapter, which means I only 3 left!! This one was short-ish, and everything in it is a spoiler, so here's a relevant screenshot from an earlier chapter.
