cool game
I think it also has an element of PS1 megaman games on it. the double tapping of the directional buttons and the ability of the character to dash while jumping. but I think it would really also be helpful if the character has the ability to double jump. one of the greatest games I've played here anyway. good job! ;)
The Dash
The Dash move is helpful, but if you get into the heat of the moment, you really don't want to mess up by not pressing the right arrow key twice quickly enough, or just wrong timing, right? Maybe just a quick hot-key, like X, I don't know, I would just fix that if I were you. Otherwise, great game! :)
Not as good as i expected
First, the sonic+mario references of course as the people below me have said.
Second,u get pushed too far when u get hit.Ripped from castlevania.Controls could be better and the player simply moves too fast.
However the graphics are good and it has a save feature.
Okay.
I have to add som points for graphics, but I have to remove some points for the controls. I am a cautious player, but in this game where i try to position myself just right by tapping the arrow key in whatever direction I need to go I dive off a fucking cliff. The dash function badly needs its own button. Diversity was okay.
A game that never evolves past the first level.
Ignoring the Sonic/Mario references, this game lacks something that would otherwise make it a great game. As it stands, it's an average game. That is, it's not BAD.
Despite different enemies and backdrops, nothing seems to change in the game. I'm thoroughly disappointed it's the same boss every stage, with a minor power-up each time.
If I could suggest anything, it'd be a change of game play. Make some levels multi-story, add some elevators, allow the player to actually fly (which DD seems to be capable of).
Incidentally, for some reason, 2 tutorial screens whizzed by at the start, so I had to mash the keyboard to figure out the controls.
The sprite looks nice and I like that it has a waiting animation.
