Good game, everything was fairly well done but there were a few problems. The verticle movement (while on the same screen, not moving on ladders) felt REALLY quick, almost too quick compared with the horizontal movement. The other problem was that the color pallet was more than what the NES allowed, if you used the NES pallet it would've felt more authentic.

I used both the NES color palette and it's limitations of only 4 colors per tile & moveable tile
This was incredibly inventive, playing heavily on my nostalgic side. I haven't done a review on this website in years, YEARS, and I've been here longer than the creator of tankmen, mr Johnny Utah himself, a friend luckily enough! This game made me sign in and give you 5 stars. I do think you should add a "Shoot above" option, maybe some diagonal if you choose but I'd be fine without. I didn't die during the teaser, but the difficulty was as I remember any NES game being; challenging at different paces. From certain jumps you can only make while shooting, to navigating the maze to find correct paths while looking for treasure, you feel that level of "don't die, there's no getting back to this spot"
My palms got sweaty, bro. that's a great sign! I'd love to see you make this a full game, and if you're looking for critical suggestions to make the game greater, inbox me for sure!
[May I also suggest a kickstarter, or even a place on steam early access to encourage your release of a final version by donating to you and playing builds of the game you release? Imagine the build up of playing a new chapter of the game...That's how telltale makes its money]
the concept is good. but it is really unpolished and difficult to play the movement is a bit fast you glitch on ladders and the hitboxes for the coins might be too big as i got coins out of destructible boxes without breaking them. like i said its good its just not there yet.
Guy-Unger responds:
yea I agree. thanks for the feedback!
From what I played so far, it was awesome Guy! If you choose to expand on this, I think it would be totally awesome to have a two player co-op version of the game where you play as the guy with the mustache in the beginning. I didn't really encounter many bugs for some reason, just one with the first doorway but maybe they pop up more often later? (Not sure why people are complaining about that) I also always found Megaman games really difficult, but liked the easier playability of Mario games, so this was a nice balance of the two styles. Great job man!
Guy-Unger responds:
thanks frootza! glad to hear that ^^
Well the inclusion of Gorillaz was nice... Not too much going on in the game, even for a teaser.
