Wow, I haven't seen the screens where it said old in the current beta...^^ Oh well... But it's still amazing!^^ The new tree tile is great but I hope this time you'll actually be able to come outta Arnica Forest!^^ But the forest still looked epic, so does the new one, too, but even more! Hope he/she (dunno the gender) will make it in English otherwise I'm forced to learn Spanish cuz it was epic if you ignore the whole grammar mistakes...^^
And to the titlescreen question: I like the first one more because Never had a mysterious feeling and the first one keeps the cool feeling more up than the secound one!^^ And I think the 2. one has these odd cubes of some sort, it just looks a little weird and not so mysterious as the first one.^^ But I like the text of the secound one more!^^
And the other two screenies:
I still can't remember the two Growlithes in the first beta, but both screenies are great, but the secound one is better!^^ It has more of this special Never feeling and gives the whole place a mysteroius aura (especially the poor Growlithe without head and the destroyed trees)!^^
