-Dev Notes- 

It's all finally here. Hard mode took longer than expected, creating the new maps and then having to split every item into two versions one for hard and one for normal took a few days. The game is fully playable and beatable on both versions and I can't see the game getting that much more content. I'm very happy I was able to improve upon the original design created 8 years ago and proud of myself for following through on the game. At this time i'm going to take a small break and then start working on an rpg game. Wally The Seal HD is likely going to recieve at least two more small updates; potentially gonna add some background noise, fix the issue with the display buttons and I might add an easy mode with less items and a more nerfed Wally on the alpha map (Some people really liked that first map). I will also take the next few days to get a MAC/OS version of the game out and sometime after I've started development on the rpg I would like to release a mobile version of the game as well (VR potentially too). 

It has truly been a blast working on this and it's fun to have a new hobby that I will continue to improve at. I hope you enjoy what you play and please reach out to me for any ideas on Wally's next adventure.
