ORIGINAL POST:

I haven't had an opinion of my game online, so I wanted to know if you could play it and tell me what you think? It's meant for native mobile like android or tizen, not directly for html5, but I have it up as that for now for testing purposes. Also, let me know if I should redraw the character art on the character select screen?

You have to wait a few seconds for the level to load, so the character is invisible during that time.

The keyboard controls mapped to the on screen GUI is z- red button, spacebar - blue button, x - silver button. Arrow keys for directional input. For the icons at top, the guy with sword, press to change your characters shooting direction, mostly affects the princess. The black button at top right, hold it to recharge you energy bar. The bubble toggles attacks for the red button. Blue button is basic attack. Silver button + arrow key is boosted movement. Silver alone is native move.

The scoring system, the auto spawner, kill count, and udpated graphics for the enemies is something I have to implement before I can release.

Any feedback is welcome. The characters in this game use the moveset of the charcters from a comic I made late last year.

Here is a page of other possible characters that might be in the sequel, with 2-3 being selected from this list, boosting the number of playable characters to 4 or 5. The characters at the top left are definate selections. For the 5th, it will be a dragon most likely.

Hi Fradno, tried it on Android tablet. The issues I noticed is that it doesnt autoscale, takes only small part of the screen. Also multitap doesnt work - I had to release the movement button in order to fight. The frame rate seemed low but overall playable.

Hey Suntemple, thanks for trying it out, the same problem on apple devices, it appears to be a limitation of the program I used, it appears to only allow multi-button use if I make it a native app rather than html5 export.

I've updated the gameplay mechanics and some of the graphics like the starter enemy. If you wish, try it out on desktop and let me know what you think of the game itself.

I've been updating the graphics for my game. Same link in the OP, as I update a sprite, I upload it to that same game.

The game itself is just the test engine for the game mechanics and graphics. The real game with the levels and all will be uploaded as a seperate game.

Couldn't launch it on Firefox Chrome or Safari (I tried both versions)

Hi remvst, thanks for letting me know. I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, see if this works:

The original links have had a fix by Game Salad game engine. Try it out and see if it works.

I've updated it with more enemy graphics in the game.

Also, I've almost finished updating all the enemy sprites as of today. Last remaining sprite, plus a new enemy thats a high speed dragon, and I begin level development.

Here is a link to the updated version of the game I'm working on:

New Dragon graphics, shown against the old graphics:

And a picture of some alternate colors for the hero characters. I'm thinking the Knight's name is Grafto and the Princess will be Pyf.

The last two colors are what I want to use for a webcomic story I hope to draw someday, different characters, but that very same color scheme.

This is one of the best game....

thanks to share it.

You're welcome, I've done a major rehaul and will be getting released soon under a different name.

[Froton X]

Release is probably a month away. Anyway, some art to show:

These are the four playable characters, let me know which you would pick.

Here is the full list of characters that were possible candidates for the game. The lobster in the second row and the pipe smoking dragon near the middle were strong candidates to be playable characters.
