Sorry about that, the save system simply wasn't ready and still needs more testing. It will be there for the full game though!

Thank you for your feedback! It is truly appreciated.
Testing the balancing and the difficulty was one of the main goals of the demo. Seeing people play and share their ideas has been very informative, and we can't wait to keep improving upon it!

Thank you for playing again, and we hope you come back for the final release :)

Thank you so much for playing and sharing your feedback!

Thank you so much!

1) Yup, it's in our plans.
2) Most of what you describe are input bugs that will be fixed soon. A tool-tip system was also in place, but it decided not to work for the demo. We'll fix that as well.
3) Noted, that's a good point.
4) This was omitted for the demo, since you can't use honor yet. But in the full game, you will spend your honor on permanent upgrades by training outside of episodes. (KO's actually grant less honor btw).

Thanks for playing! Our Kickstarter is most likely not going to happen at this point (we signed with a publisher). The best way to support us right now is to follow/wishlist the game on Steam!

Thanks for playing!
We are aware of the UI issues and we're working on improving scrolling for both mouse and controller. Thanks for reporting it.

Thanks for providing more info! This will help us investigate further solutions hopefully.

Thank you so much for playing!
The problem you described has been reported before, and a fix was added in the latest patch. But you confirmed that it's still happening, sorry about this!

Would you mind sharing your PC specs? Also, did you play with mouse or controller?

Thanks a lot! Happy to hear it \^^/

Not for the time being! We'll consider other platforms after launch.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for playing!!

About the devs:
Hi there, we're Paper Castle! We released Underhero back in 2018 and we're super excited to share our new game with all of you.
Have fun! ⭐

Hi there, apologies for the wait.

We have found a work around to make the game run on macOS, and have added the new instructions in the download page of the game. For anyone else having similar issues, here are the instructions:

macOS:

Unpack the downloaded file in your downloads folder, and launch the Underhero.app file.

If you get "The application can't be opened" warning, try using this work-around:

1. Make sure to unpack the game in your Downloads folder.
2. Open the extracted Mac folder and right click/control click the Underhero app.
3. Select "New Terminal at Folder"
4. Copy and paste this in the terminal and press the Enter key:  chmod +x ~/Downloads/Mac/Underhero.app/Contents/MacOS/Underhero
5. Now if you try opening the app you might get the next warning: "Underhero cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified".
6. If that's the case, click cancel on the warning and try right click/control click the Underhero app and select "Open".
7. You will get one final warning, click Open on the warning and the game should run now.
8. Have fun!

This work around was tested on a MacBook Air M1 chip with the macOS Sonoma 14.3.1

You can try forcing a new resolution by going to the main menu, then options, and pressing F10.
A new menu will appear, there you can type your preferred resolution and aspect ratio and press enter to confirm.

No plans for android, but it is out for Switch since last year! https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/underhero-switch/

Sorry but no. If you prefer Steam you should probably get it there, since there is no difference between builds.

There is only one ending no matter what you do, no worries.

Thank you for understanding, we're glad you enjoyed the game overall (despite the hiccups you described).  We're looking forward to making better games for everyone to enjoy ^^

Hey there! First of all thank you so much for playing the game and sharing your feedback.

Before addressing your points, we should probably clarify that we're developers from Venezuela, not the USA. This is not to say that we're beyond criticism because we're latinx, but that certain things that are seen as harmful in the US might have gone over our heads because we come from a different background. 

There are many references of Venezuelan culture hidden in the game that most players will probably not get, and Pica Pica tribe was one of them. The Pica Pica tribe was intended to be a reference to a group of Venezuelan indigenous people called the Yanomami. Even though Elizabeth says they're "uncivilized", the joke was supposed to be that they're actually just like the other minions (if you check their houses they actually have very good living conditions, with TVs, ACs, and big beds. And all of them speak perfect English except for the chief). Elizabeth is just very prejudiced against minions in general, and at that point in the story she's slowly overcoming it. 

Los Duros have two first hispanics names (which is common for us) and use mariachi hats to hide their weaknesses. El Salserissimo is a reference to Salsa music and to Hispanic characters in Hollywood movies that occasionally say words in broken Spanish, except this time el Salserissimo speaks correct and coherent Spanish between his English lines. 

That said, we understand that what we made can be considered in bad taste and even harmful, and we do regret it. These jokes and references came from a place of ignorance, never hate, and we're truly sorry if they caused any harm. 

Like you said, the reason we wanted to include the game in the bundle is because we care deeply about issues of racism. We grew up in a country of stark economical and social inequality, and it took us years to learn and break free of the awful beliefs we grew up with. It took us many years to make this game (almost 5 years), so much so that our ideals and beliefs have changed and continue to change to this day. 

We're still learning, and we'll definitely take this criticism into account when working on future games. Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

That was before we added controller remapping to the game. Now it recognizes all controllers and can be configured in the options menu. The demo is just very outdated.

Edit: We added a disclaimer above for the demo info, thanks for pointing this out!

We're happy to know you enjoyed it!

Thank you for playing :)

We usually wait a bit before releasing a new patch on the rest of the platforms, in case something bad happens. They will be updated promptly!

Did you unpack the .rar files? You will need an additional program like winrar or winzip to unpack the game files. After you unpack it, open the game's folder and run underhero.exe

Glad to hear you were able to fix it.
Have fun!

It's on Switch, PS4, and Xbox One. It released earlier this year :)

Thank you for contributing!

Strange, we have tried downloading the files straight from itch.io and it's working fine on our end.

We had to re-upload the Mac version because it was not unpacking correctly as a .rar file and we changed it to a zip file. The other files should be working.

What program are you using to unpack the .rar files? Winrar is what we use.

Hi, we have fixed some things, try again and let us know.

It should be working now!

Ah good to hear, enjoy!

Awesome! Have fun :)

We have re uploaded the newer build, let us know if the problem persist.

If the problem wasn't resolved then the game is probably detecting another peripheral as a gamepad. During testing we found that it sometimes picked up drawing tablets as gamepads, we made sure to avoid this but it might still be occurring with other brands.

Controller detection cannot be changed because the user config is in the registry. As far as we know it can't be changed there.

You could try playing with the tablet disconnected or by changing your inputs.

To change your inputs on the spot, after the press start screen, press F12 to open the keybinding menu. You can press F11 to reset all inputs to default.

Hi!
We have re uploaded the Mac files, let us know if it works now.
