Riesling Version 2.0

July 28th, 2007 No Comments

I updated Riesling: The gameplay has changed considerably, so hopefully it’s a bit more fun to play, plus it’s now got optional analog game controller support in addition to the standard mouse control.

Get the game here.

I was meandering through the bystanders whilst recording, so the stereo image in some parts of my audio is a bit random.
