Yay! Shantae’s been cured of her vitiligo!
These last few weeks have been chock full of old-school good news-- between Mighty No. 9, Volgarr the Viking, and now Shantae.
Good shit, smaller/indie studios+ Kickstarter backers… I salute you all.
I liked her white better, fight me
The game’s theme song is available to download on the update page for anyone interested.
Yeah I kickstarted some money for a copy. I bought the one on iOS and it seemed like a lot of fun but ya know… touch screens + traditionally controlled platformers = NOT FUN.
I support the movement to have her hit the tanning bed. Love these games, though, and will donate asap.
It’s not a tan if you are already brown. 
I’d love to see a co-op mode. Maybe not in 1/2 Genie Hero specifically but in another Shantae or shit any platformer. We need more co-op in platformers that aren’t in the vein of Rayman or Mario. I wanna solve puzzles, fight enemies, and explore with a friend or three or four.
Isn’t Shantae a white-trash girl name? I should re-watch Ted.
Update on level design concepts
Man I’d like to play a Shantae game but Risky’s Revenge is $11.99 for DSiware, but $1.99 on iOS. I don’t have an Apple device and I’m not dropping six times the price on the Nintendo eshop. It seems to have finally gotten Greenlit on steam after spending like a year in Greenlight limbo, but nothing may be happening with that for a while.
The iOS version of Risky’s Revenge has a shitty on-screen button interface. It won’t be responsive and your hands will block the screen. That’s not worth $1.99
they said they’d port it to Steam after the Shantae:HGH campaign is over.
It sucks so much for that. I tried so hard to play it too but I couldn’t even get passed the first boss.
Am i the only one worried that this game could not end getting over 1million 
^It most definitely won’t. I’m not even looking forward to any stretch goals.
I doubt this will reach any of it’s reach goals. If it hadn’t been overshadowed by other kickstarters it probably would have been fully funded by now.
Yeah it was just bad timing for this and the River City KS. Project Phoenix and Might NO. 9 killing it right now
New update
Vita TV already attracting devs to the Vita.
Been playing it all week on a small iPhone 4S and it’s fine.
I guess they slowed the game down a bit to compensate.
edit
Oh hey, proper Shantae colours!
I kinda don’t like that she looks like a character from their other game Mighty Switch Force. I really dug the original game’s artwork.
