A Tribute that Does Justice, despite its Bugs

First off, I commend you for making a tribute that adds so much original content. The new characters, weapons, stages, and enemies make this a gameplay experience that doesn't rehash the source material.

I'm not a well versed classic megaman fan, so I don't know the look of the levels by heart, but I think the graphics and characters here have their own flavor. The selected music also evokes the old games, but I can easily tell they too are a new spin on the subject.

The gameplay is solid throughout, although it sometimes suffers from repetition. The enemies are difficult to attack, but their placement and types are often repeated. One or two more enemy types may have spiced things up. The level itself gives good platforming challenge, but needs a little more variety up until the falling rock portion. Portal Man is a solid boss for a browser game like this: difficult, but not to the extreme.

Bugs, control schemes, and lacking features are my main criticism. First, the button you hold for Megaman's charge shot remains the same even if you switch the shoot and jump buttons. This means I found myself unable to charge shot unless I held the jump button sometimes. Next, I would have liked to assign the buttons to different keys if possible. I don't know why, but the current assigned keys don't feel perfect to me. Finally, having a feature to go back to the main menu during the game would be nice. I found myself having to reload the page if I wanted to start over without suiciding three times.

Overall, this is a quality product that could use some debuging, a little more variety, and some polish. Given that, this would become a rare excellent game.

Glitchy, but fun.

Opening the menu while entering a boss room causes you to appear on top of the stage with no way out, and you have to refresh. Other than that, classic megaman fun. Nice job.

Excellent...

Enjoyable game. Like many others I wish it had more levels. I did encounter a problem though. I figured out how to get the life at the beginning, but after I got it I couldn't leave the little cubby hole it was tucked into. Also if there is only one new power-up you can get why have a password system? Other than those, the game was pretty fun.

Amusing...

I just got done watching the Mega Man fan film on Screw Attack, and figured I would give this a try, haha. It was odd being able to choose to play as Mega Man, though he is cool, I figured it would ruin the whole point (it is called Tank Man) so I played as Tank Man.

Words!

Falling on the spikes did not destroy my sprite, nor did the game continue, even the BG, stopped.... Just thought you'd like to know.
Amesome otherwise :)
