Great graphics especially the lighting. movement/controls felt a little slow. sounds are cheerful

Great hard, the mechanism is kinda hard because the sprites are kinda small :)

Cool graphics. :)
It's so fun to see Worm Jim. :)
A little bit annoying enemies, maybe you should disable respawn?

I love it! Like the graphics and the music. Fun!

This game looks really cool. I found it hard hitting the enemies. Great music.

Wow, awesome graphics, and the sound aspect is amazing :)

As others have said the graphics were excellent. It was nice to see some familiar characters in a lower resolution form, especially with how well they were done. I enjoyed the music, too, and how it managed to link in to each character.

haha, this was fun game, at first I was wondering how the character looks like earthworm jim, then I noticed rest of the characters are all from videogames too.

it was short and sweet. Really good minimalistic graphics, hitting enemies with attacks was bit hard though.

Looks good and is a decent concept, I found it a little difficult as the sprites were very small and the levels were quite crowded. It's a good effort and quite fun.

That's definitely a frustrating but fun "just one more go" type of game. Thought the graphics were well done and the fact that your character changes was a clever/nice touch.

Great graphics and sound. Good use of the theme. Amazing amount of content for a 48 hour game.

It's let down quite badly by the controls in places.

The worst controls problem is that some of the characters cancel their attacks if you press z again too soon. This is really misleading in the case of the first character, since the attack animation plays but no damage is dealt. Took me quite a while to figure out what was going on.

Nice one! The hit area was problematic, and I was like 5 minutes with Jim trying to hit things

starmen 2012-09-02 22:52

The hit detection seemed kind of broken to me. I couldn't hit anything at all.

Good effort to integrate all these old school heroes :)
It was hard and frustrating because of controls, but I wanted to go until the end.
I didn't understand why sometimes, Mario dies, and sometimes, he just goes through the enemies...

Very nicely done! Good graphics and sound (music gets a bit annoying after a while though). The game screen is a bit small, making it difficult to see and control the character with precision in a high res monitor.

You're playing the nostalgic string :D
Controls are a bit tight but that's good overall!

amidos2006 2012-09-03 09:32

the character reminds me of earth worm jim :)

Great music and awesome graphics. I really like the references to Earthworm Jim, Battletoads, Sonic and Mario - I just cannot figure the long and blue one (around the middle). I liked the overall gameplay, but there seem to be some collision problems (Mario was especially frustrating), especially since controls feel a bit stiff. Checkpoints when "leveling up" feel a little arbitrary and sometimes they help, sometimes don't (see: Mario). To sum up, I'm really impressed by the look and feel - controls could use a little fixing, but this is an awesome entry anyway!

Loved the classic videogame references. The tiny graphical style was great!

sestren 2012-09-06 02:10

Ecco the Dolphin is the second, I'm pretty sure. I'm guessing big-time on this one, but is the one before Sonic perhaps Chip or Dale from the Rescue Rangers?

The jumping controls were a bit touchy, but it was fun.
