bot i cant pass level 1-12 its HARD!

This brings me back...

Damn good job. I have to admit I started playing it without looking who the creator was, but the whole way through I was thinking "the soundtrack and dialogue remind me of Mardek somehow..."

The whole thing was pretty much spot-on. The controls didn't feel clunky in the slightest, and there wasn't the usual wonky hit detection that usually plagues these old-timey games.

I found myself getting cocky for getting through the spike hell stuff without much of a hitch because I'm really good at the platforming stuff...then the boss ate my face in the space of literally five seconds. It took me a while to react to the second shot in his pattern quickly and consistently enough to beat him, but I got it eventually -- and it didn't feel like you made him too fast or anything, it felt just right to be hard-but-doable without requiring dumb luck at all.

The only thing I'm really concerned about is your attention getting split too badly between this and Mardek, but if the variety keeps you from going insane, more power to ya. Best of luck on both projects, and I still think it's high time for a real developer to hire your ass :)

Interesting to see that my style is recognisable like that!

I'm working on several projects at the moment, which is why MARDEK 3 is taking forever... since if you've ever tried to work on one creative project for many months, you'll know how hard it is to keep your attention on it even when the end is so far from sight.
I wanted to make quick games like this though mainly for the *money*, since I do get paid for Flash games that I release, after all.

awesome!

im definately coming back to this game over and over again...at least to try to beat it! power shot would be nice tho

Gratz on frontpage Pseudo

Wuv the game btw; played it on fighunter.com though; not here.

10/10 but...

I don't know if i'm the only one with this problem, but the guy keeps moving on his own, and he always walks into spike pits.

You're also probably using IE...
