CHALLENGE: First person to submit a video of a successful pacifist run gets a trophy!

Also, any hillarious tool-assisted videos will also earn trophies for as long as I can be bothered.

pretty good, great use of the sound chip the music actually "sounds" a lot like a genesis game, nice slopes and nice fast movement. About my only complaints are the bats are pretty much invisible when flying in certain areas and the controls are the wrong buttons, you have them set to A and C so i basicly can't push both at once on my controller :/

Great effort. CHALLENGE: First person proving he can get after the first sign gets a redbubble giftcard. jesus, this is difficult. 5 stars for audio, gotta love sega music. I'd give 5 stars as well for technical achievment as well!

Well I have beaten it, but I didn't read the comments before so I've got no video. I'll try again!

Really good engine anyway! Great job!

Sorry for no sound, I was forget to turn on the recording. Anyway there are problems with moving. You can jump while in mid air sometimes and i think it would be better if he loose momentum when bumping the head in the ceiling - like in mario. And when landing on a corner he stucks there and not sure what meks it move again - smashin every button like crazy... :D

Yeah that wasn't a *pacifist* run, but good job anyway.

And the midair jump is just a preference. The corner thing however is a bug, it's just not something I exactly want to fix in a hurry (I fear the fix for it might be nasty).

A Mega Drive game ? SRLY ?
I'm so frustrated now! I got a mega drive just here and I have to download an emulator grr
(playing the game)
OH SHIT
(30min later)
Ok...this is the perfect exemple of a game who looks bad and feels good. I had a LOT of fun. Now I want to play a longer version (with checkpoints or passwords...) on my mega drive ^^

Whoa, the music is awesome, I'd love to know what tools you use to make genesis rom music.

tritax 2012-09-17 04:37

Really a ton of fun .. and great music. I'd love to hear about the toolset you used to create this!

i love that you made a mega drive game. the game itself plays well, it just needs more to it!!

Great music. Detecting black bats on very dark purple sky was a bit harsh.
Never run so much from bats in a videogame.
