Raider: Episode 1 is the first in a series of five platformers, consisting of a single level each. The levels are long, however.

This game is designed to be reminiscent of 'old-school' games which those of us old enough to remember playing them as children might find nostalgic.
It is designed to be CHALLENGING. Only the best players will be able to achieve the fabled S ranking for their performance. Can you?!/

Controls are specified in the game. They can also be customised from the How to Play screen.

PLEASE try Beginner mode if you're not great at platformers or if you find the other difficulties to hard and frustrating. It removes many of the most irritating aspects of the higher difficulties. Please do not complain that the game is too hard if you haven't even tried Easy mode.

NOTE: It seems that playing this in Internet Explorer results in some strange input-related problems, where the keys seem to 'stick' or something. You shouldn't really be using IE anyway; it's a notoriously bad browser.

It's Megaman with a sword, but in a good way.

Good ideas- gun it or run in with the sword. Good controls; high jumps, good timing necessary. Wish I could drop the quality or something to make it run smoother, but hopefully with new episodes that'll get better...?

If you only had made this game about 19 years ago.

Seriously, there'd probably be dragon mascots running amok around Nintendo and advertising in Japan. What nostalgia! This game perfectly represents the old side scrolling games of the early 90's. The extremely hard difficulty was there, too! (you new school gamers have it WAY easy) I almost thought I was playing Megaman half-way into the game. Can't wait for the next episode! 10/10

Wow games like this are what nintendo should have been putting effort into back in the mid 80s and early 90s. It has really cool music, a fun fighting style, really good controls, and a level of challenge that is really hard to find nowadays. Defintaly can't wait for the sequal. There are problems however but they are pretty minor. Also there is something to be said for the nostalgic pixelated look.

Simply enchanting

This game is simply that! The music is incredible. The game is challenging (which can be rare in games sometimes). And the character and story is just all-around awesome. :P. A good platformer like this is hard to come by.

Keep up the awesome work :D.
