More irritateing does not equal more fun.
it was an interesting game, short no room for upgrading. first boss was irritating. it would appear right on top of you if you weren't moving. and healing in the fight was a bit rough if you weren't used to bouncing off of cannon balls -__- other wise it was ok i managed to beat the boss on my third try but that's just because Im good at retro bounce off the head of the bad guys kinda games.
Bonus Levels
I played this game all the way to Bonus Level #1 without realizing how repetitive it is. I'm also confused about why it's called Melee Man if the man has a gun.
Works fine for me
The game works fine on my computer, it just needs to be a bit more fun(maybe adding some tougher enemies).
Bad, even by "retro" standards.
Didn't really appeal to me. The graphics were ugly, the music was too basic and grating and the controls were pretty sticky. I understand that recreating an old Gameboy Colour was the idea and you certainly accomplished that.
But the Gameboy Colour sucked. It sucked hard. It was an awful console. Perfectly serviceable in its day, but did not age well. No way in Hell.
Combine that with the pretty soulless character, setting and gameplay and you get...a generic Gameboy era platformer built in under a week with no real features to help it stand out from the crowd of other retro pixel games. This wouldn't even have flown in 1998, on the Gameboy Colour, because there were better games even then. Lord knows there are better games now.
I'm sorry you feel that way. I do remember reading reports of children being brutally assaulted by Gameboy Colors right around the time they were most popular. I can only assume that this happened to you and I feel that you are very strong, brave and tolerant to be able to try out a game honoring them. I admire your courage.
Could be better.
Too much decoration on some levels. Sometimes It's difficult to tell the diference between background and game.
You can get stuck in level 13 if you shot the worms instead of jumping them (I had to refresh browser).
I stopped playing at second boss, level 15: if touched you're most likely to die, and I don't really want to jump on bullets to get that hearts on top.
