---FIX LIST---
Controls don't work- Change them in the C menu
Music is bad- Mute it in the C menu
Can't pass intro screens- Possibly change browsers
(I'll add stuff as it becomes apparent to me. :3)
-------------------------
Update 5 (._.) The controls can be changed by holding C to open the menu and clicking on the buttons under the big controller with the mouse. A lot of people are having issues with their keyboards not excepting inputs from a bunch of keys at once. I apologize for this, but it can be fixed by playing with the controls. If it cannot, then there isn't much I can do at this point.
My recommended control input is using A-D for movement and J-K for actions.
Sorry for the trouble. :<
-------------------------
Update 4 (This is getting to be a bit much, eh?): Tastertad was kind enough to inform me that Google Chrome may be giving people trouble with some of the in-between screens and the like. I'm going to recommend that anyone with trouble uses Firefox for now, as that is the browser that seems to have the most success with this particular release.
Also I keep seeing negative comments about the controls with very little description of what specifically makes them difficult to grasp. I've had no trouble from the people testing the game and I didn't particularly experience any myself, so if people could be a bit more descriptive of what doesn't quite work that would be awesome, thanks! :D
-------------------------
Update 3: Through some miracle this has made front page. Thank you so much Newgrounds! :D
Also to everyone having issues with the controls, please describe specifically what is wrong. I cannot solve a problem that I don't know the cause of. Past that, some of the issues may be caused by keyboards not registering too many keys held down at once. I promise I am looking into this and will fix it if I can.
-------------------------
Update 2: After various changes and reworking of the mute button, which now mutes the game for the duration of its current run, I believe the game is now suitable for play. I apologize for the errors from before and hope this works better.
Some suggestions:
Please use the buttom [sound off] on the options menu (HOLD C) to mute the audio if it bothers you.
Please leave some constructive criticism for me so I can improve upon future projects.
The game does have medals and a scoreboard, however none are implemented correctly yet, I may have dropped the ball to the point where they just will not work, if anyone has suggestion feel free to notify me.
I thank anyone playing this and I hope it is an enjoyable experience for you.
-------------------------
Update: At the sacrifice of my neat button sounds and rollovers, almost all menu content now works on Mac computers, excluding the mute button in the options menu (To my knowledge). Please let me know if there is anything still wrong with it! :D
-------------------------
GAEM returns to wreak havoc upon mankind yet again! Use your wits and the new tool at your disposal to destroy him and reclaim normalcy in your realm!
--Features--

If anything needs fixed I will try to fix it. :3
I hope you enjoy this game, I have worked long and hard on it.

Eh...
Newgrounds has a lot of bad games on front page, no offense to your game but it really isn't in my opinion front-page worthy. For my opinions on the controls go look at everyones comments on them, also the art style is really bland, the levels have no detail which I understand since you want it to be old-school or something but it makes it so lifeless. I got to the trampoline stage after the second boss and it was just so boring that I stopped playing, I don't want to look like an asshole or anything but it's just my opinion. PS: also change the normal controls to like the W A S D keys or something cause the normal controls are a little broken.
I might change the default to WASD and re-upload. That doesn't take too much time but I would have to change some stuff around. :3
Thanks.

yeah...
this game f***ing sucks. if i have to take the time to change the controls, and try to fix your game, then I should go back to making my own video games. seriously. this is public. if it sucks, post it as some retarded flash cartoon. make it... "someone doesn't know how to make a video game.
That's not very nice at all now... is it?

Too simple
Got to the city, had to stop, just wasn't fun. Story was odd to begin with.
Sorry you found it that way! :<

Not especially satisfying.
The controls for the game were simple, yet didn't register well. While attacking, you can't jump left, I noticed, and if you attack mid-air, you character stops moving. It makes the first boss way more difficult to beat than it should be (which actually can be beaten by jumping over his first charge and spamming your attack in the corner). The sounds and music are extremely tedious, but can THANKFULLY be turned off. Holding the Space Bar is your attack button, but it is also used to navigate the dialogue, so if you are killed or advance a level while attacking, don't expect to be able to read the semi-humorous dialogue. Jumping seems to work when it wants to as well. Don't expect to hold Up and be able to jump over every enemy attack.
There are better platformers out there.
The control issues have a lot to do with the shortcomings of many keyboards. I used to use one of those kinds of keyboards, but now I have a nice one so that doing things, like making this game, are easier for me. I only ask that you attempt to change the controls in the C menu and try the game that way. You should be able to attack at all times, on the ground or in the air. The problem comes with certain keys not registering at the same time.
If you change the controls that should help, sorry it was a bother.
I agree there are better plat-formers I suppose...
