Im so sick of people acting as if hard games only existed on the NES and old consoles
Nes games are not that hard. we have games these days that are FAR more difficult that this crap
all I have to say to the uploader is this: stop choosing easy mode on modern games and then maybe you wont feel the need to validate yourself you this "OH NES SO HARD MODERN GAMES SUCK" bullshit
Please don't make multiple accounts. That's just annoying.
Awesome game, reminiscent of Contra (minus the directional shooting, as well as being able to drop through platforms, which would be nice). Nice pacing and feel to the game.
One complaint-- in the first section of Level 4, you have to jump onto and from the falling box in order to get to the next platform, and this is so remarkably inconsistent and hard to pull off with the current game mechanics. Making the next platform just a little bit lower, so the success rate is tweaked slightly up, would be a nice revision.
Also, thanks for not making this true-NES-style and giving us only one or two continues with no passwords...
I know the part you're talking about, I actually lowered it at one point as it was 16 pixels higher than it is now. I might look back at lower it again if I go back to edit stuff. I'll admit that part is a little annoying but I felt it wasn't too bad, maybe I was wrong :S.
Most NES games had unlimited continues or passwords, so I thought why not best of both worlds? :) I'm glad you liked playing it :)
It's pretty condescending to say that if this is too hard then we should play something from the current generation. Especially considering that this game is in the current generation.
Oh did you not know? This is a lost gem back from the days of the NES. :P Hehe.
It's just a joke, last NES styled game I made and uploaded here I got a barrage full of reviews saying "too hard" 0 stars. It's just my way of getting back at them.
Alien Splatter is very tough & awesome remind me a little bit nes
but i eagerly like it! 5 out of 5! keep at it Sinclairian!!!!

Thanks for the kind words! :)
Nostalgic, fun and straight to the point like many games of the 80's and early 90's. I'd love to see more of these. Well done!
Thanks! I'll hope to carry on making more.
