Bought and remotely installed, can't wait to load it up :D

You should see about getting steam achievements and trading cards :) 

Wohoo! 

Yeah you're very right about that. Thing is we still have fundamental features that are broken, such as matchmaking and package loss / networking handling that needs to be optimized. But boy would I love seeing news 'actual content' instead!

Oh yeah, I'm not saying get it done right this second, would just be something nice to add to the completeness of the game at convenient time :)

What happened with the spell competition?

Yes but I still think achievements and trading cards as well as statistics and unlockable customizations are a part of the core game design so I believe it's among the top prio stuff.

Oh we're still gonna add the winner spell Magnetic Bolt or whatever we will call it. It's just that we haven't added a new spell for more than six to seven weeks. All time have gone into 'make it work'!

Hardcore mode? Like some levels are not difficult already :D

technical question: how do you decide on the amount of levels to offer? I know you are using the Unity metrics etc, but it just seems you have loooads of levels, similar to most puzzle games… and I feel that most players just can't complete the game – at least that's what happened for previous puzzle games, despite how much I was liking them (eg cut the rope that is the one I sticked to the most)

The hardcore mode will be available in the Premium version of the game. We are a company now so... you know... business. 

On the first game, there were about 20% of people that finished the game (so, on a base of over 3M players, it means 600k). So it is still a lot! We received loads of emails from players who wanted to get more levels.   We still have 11k players everyday nearly one year after the game's release. 
But honestly, the difficulty curve of the first one is terrible, our process was shit and I'm not proud of it even if I'm happy with our results. This one is way better: we had a true worflow, a lot of levels review and ietration. It's way smoother. Forget impossible random throwing levels. 

There will be 180 levels for the free version for several reasons: we had a bunch of new ideas with our new gameplay mechanics. But also, we will add few ads in this version so we want you to play and keep playing.

French touch. Thanks tr0inc, I didn't see that. 

I might try this even if I'm mobile gamer. Spotted some typo in the YouTube description of the video. ''Bassed on puzzle and arcade principles,ULTRAFLOW 2 is all about desterity and fun.''

Thanks for the insight @TheOnlyDoubleF, yes I can say that the difficulty curve is what put me off, can't remember where I'm at, think like 50th.

Although, to be fair, I'm not mobile gaming at all right now. For some time Fallout Shelter had me but I'm not starting any of the games I have. I'll make an effort to finish the additional levels of Monument Valley and try to get back into Hitman GO, although was annoying at some point I lost my progress (app was removed altogether without me deleting it :?) so… usually when I'm on a mobile gaming friendly situation (underground) I'm reading to catch up with long due books, and on the train if I'm on the phone I'm texting or reading, social networks etc. to the point that the still huge mobile gaming phenomena surprises me, after all I still see lots of people in London, and if they play they play Candy Crush or Asphalt
