In our previous updates, we've given you a look behind-the-scenes to see what it takes to make a game like Armikrog - most of it has been pretty fun stuff. We understand that we've pushed the date back before, and here we are doing it again-but a short term delay in order to give you a great game is better than giving you a frustrating broken version tomorrow. Our goal is to give you a great game-unfortunately over these past few days we've encountered a few bugs that are going force us to push back the release date. The Armikrog team has been working around the clock (literally) to get the game polished for release. I'll add links to other stores once it's available elsewhere.
