Nicely done! It does indeed feel like a classic platformer, I'm afraid I didn't get too far though - I might have to come back and give it another shot :) I like the visuals.

Nice and fitting graphics and sound. What I don't like, however, is that on a qwertz keyboard I have to do finger acrobatics to play this game. "a" and "s" would be better choices.

The art and music are awesome, but the controls are just horribly unintuitive. I have to think all the time to do what I want. I can't get very far because of that.

eruiz00 2015-12-14 16:05

Have to think about... the truth is that is a simple platformer with one button to jump and other to shoot...

Nice art and music, though the sound effects got a bit annoying. The controls are a bit unintuitive like it was told already, and that made the game very hard at points. But it's still a solid entry, good job!

Not loading for me for some reason. I'm on Safari on OS X. Wouldn't load on LD or via DropBox.

Really cool style - I love the art and sound design. Fun game, good work!

Maybe I wasn't good or far enough, but checkpoints would be nice. A solid entry none the less.

Well implemented mini arcade game. Bu why make everything hard to see and dull by not using colors?

voider 2015-12-20 20:52

Amazing graphics and sounds. Great work!

Fun little platformer, well done! And kudos for the intro two button control mini game :)

Fun game, great music and sound. I like your interpretation of the theme. :)

adsilcott 2015-12-23 18:57

It's funny the way you worked the theme into a mini game. The game itself is good. Kind of reminds me of the old ghouls and ghosts game, since you have to play over and over to memorize the enemy patterns.

;)

Have to say that controls aren't perfect, I am often pressing jump instead of fire and vice versa.

Nice I liked it, almost megaman style platforming. Very hard and very fun.

Pro:
+ Art style and audio is great
Con:
- One hit kill with no checkpoints (at least I didn't find one) is a bit cruel
- Collision box are a bit weird, specially on the big guy
Obs:
o You can shoot even after death

Great work!

scorched 2015-12-26 20:23

Good overall, but those guys that always catch me right after jumping over pit are frustrating!

alliel_a 2015-12-26 21:08

nice game

eruiz00 2015-12-26 21:51

Actually I finish the game without lose lifes. It's a question of practice. Thank folks!

Pretty hard (like 8 bit era platformers hard) but solid platformer. Too bad there's no WASD option for movement as I personally find the Arrow+ZX method to be slightly awkward (being left-handed and all).

lereveur 2015-12-27 00:56

I'm so bad I can't go further than just after the first shooter, but yet a good platformer for what I've seen. :)

imagossoftworks 2015-12-27 01:31

Not so much a platformer as it is a game of memorization.

kaiseangames 2015-12-27 16:31

Cool. I almost thought the alternate clicking IS the game. Nice surprise. However, I would like to give you a hint for future development.

Never use Z or Y for controls. These are on different positions on different keyboard layouts (different languages), so on my keyboard, X is some 5 keys apart from Z. Either allow player to bind keys to whatever they want, or set controls to universal keys like space, enter, shift, control etc.

Well done, anyway!

Keep up the good work.

eruiz00 2015-12-28 09:54

Have no time for more, although did not think about vonttols. Always liked to use z and x as does not intetfere with cursors (although this is my case) but in future compos i'll fix thos. Thanks!

Nicely done! But too hard for me :S
