Reviews for "Alien Splatter"

As am I! Damn I still have those carts, even the NTSC versions so I can play them at full speed instead of the butchered ports we get over here in the UK. Really glad you enjoyed the game!
Nice use of colour, camera, and level flow. I would've preferred if you could jump up through the thin moving platforms, like in any other platformer. There's one thing that really bugged me though: when you quickly tap an arrow key it doesn't make you turn around most of the time, so when I want to turn around and shoot someone I can't because there's a delay or something going on with your controls. Why didn't you just use a simple constant velocity for moving?
As for the Author Comments, this was my impression: "Only 90's kids would understand, unlike you AAA plebs." Ok man chill out.
SinclairStrange responds:
Haha, my author comments were justified after getting a barrage of bad reviews and PM's when I released Ninja Virus and Sole Gunner. It's just my way of telling them to shut up as it just gets a little bit annoying after the nth time. Don't get me wrong I have plenty of current triple A titles on my shelve and I used to work for Sony so :P.
But thanks for the review, the platforms that squish you was just a gimmick for that purpose really. Perhaps I should of made it more clear in hindsight. With regards of the turning/shooting that's just being faithful to the 8bit counterparts. In most games, if you turn around while walking, you need to de-accelerate before turning, it's not constant.
Thanks for the review! :)
A REAL retro game finally. No stupid parallax, antialiasing or fake 24X pixelart, just a genuine old style game like I didn't see in years. And it's even fun! A lot of people here should learn from this game. Congratulations!
SinclairStrange responds:
Thanks! Can't beat a bit of old skool sometimes.
Nes can actually parallax scroll, it's pretty common in later games of that era. The best use is in Kirby's Adventure, the fight against the Nightmare Orb. That just blows my mind.
Game really isn't all that difficult though I did grow up playing Nintendo games. Still was a lot of fun. Keep up the good work.
SinclairStrange responds:
But you didn't even beat the first stage! :P
my only question is why isn't s fire and a jump j***us
SinclairStrange responds:
Eh?
