first look at Icarus

I’m not very interested in football so I spent the game designing the animations for a new unlockable Afterdeath character.  Undead Icarus is the second unlockable character and can be found in Valhalla, after escaping from Cliffs of Despair.

Icarus’ playstyle matches the world of Valhalla where he is found, recklessness.  If you dare to wait an extra second, you can power up his jump to get even higher. Then, once you’re airborne, you can hold the jump button to glide, slowing your descent while constantly accelerating to the side.  At this time, there’s no maximum limit on his speed so you can race to the end of the level as fast as your reflexes can handle.
