Nice Pixel art here ! :)

ittai-manero 2017-12-04 22:35

Thanks, Chubby!

Awesome Man, cool retro game. Love the way you used a "retro style" mecanic without making it too frustrating. Would have definitively be a best seller on NES!

ittai-manero 2017-12-05 11:06

Wow, those are big words @drunkain, thank you!

Cool art ^^ but... pay money for the ld game... so strange

ittai-manero 2017-12-05 13:33

Hey @Sobigdrasil, thank you! About the money, it's the first time I put something on itch.io, and I left the settings as they come, didn't have much time to change things. But they let you download it for free right? Not sure how it works!

This was fun! Things got out of hand pretty quickly, but that was part of the charm. Nice work!

ittai-manero 2017-12-05 23:08

Thanks @grentacular! Glad you liked it :D

Amazing art and sound! The gameplay is very hard and reminded me the NES Home Alone game hahaha Great Job!

If I saw spiders that big I would use a gun too!

I enjoyed your game, just some minor physics glitches but loved the DOS sounds and the aesthetics are just gorgeous!

Nice game!

ittai-manero 2017-12-05 23:16

Thanks @jean! What a great game was that one! Thank you for reminding it to me lol :D

Thanks @amir-bayareh! I guess it was too hard to get rid of all the bugs in this game haha (can't get tired enough of this joke)

This game is really really really good. I love how the spider moves randomly. The graphics are really appropriate with your spiders theme (pixel art, retro, with that creepy feel) (i would use a gun too). The sounds were done nicely as well. This game fits the theme really well, the more spiders you have, the worse it is (literally so true). Overall I really had fun playing this game

Pretty nice entry! Those spiders in the attic are impossible to get, they would lay in ambush every time I got near that stair.

I found a few glitches when jumping just out of a stair, the guy would get stuck at something and float for a while.

All in all a fun gameplay!

high score of 2854!

game was a bit glitchy, my head always got stuck in the ceiling and the collision in general seemed pretty bad. Good job otherwise though!

ittai-manero 2017-12-06 00:04

Thanks @kyle-pham! So cool to know you enjoyed the game that much! :D

Thank you @jlreymendez, glad to hear it! Yeah, these spiders can be a bit bitchy sometimes! haha

Thanks, @technonugget! I didn't have too much time for polishing the collisions, you're right. Thank you for playing and glad you liked it!

Nice game! Pretty polished from my playthrough. One issue I had is the spider hits you when coming down ladder and you cant avoid it much in some cases. Also would've been cool to see bullets flying when shooting, maybe a shotgun would've even worked well.

ittai-manero 2017-12-06 13:56

Thanks @devmax! Yeah I guess I wanted to have the thing going on where you have to go up or down the ladders carefully and kind of wait for the moment and don't get hit. Also wanted to have the real feeling of shooting and you don't even see the bullet, kind of like in real life. That also makes you try harder to aim properly :) Thanks for your review!

Interesting game. The jump feels a bit too "heavy" for me, and i would have love to be able to jump using the top arrow. Otherwise it was nice :).

ittai-manero 2017-12-07 17:02

Thanks, @turbogros! I will have that in mind if I make a postLD improved version.

great graphics and fun old school gameplay, great job!

gris 2017-12-09 15:59

Cool old school graphics and mood. Liked the music too. Congrats!

ittai-manero 2017-12-09 22:49

Thanks, guys! @ariake81 @gris Highly appreciated

Lovely graphics, fun game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdHqgfn9vOI

Thank you so much @jupiter-hadley :)
