Zero Effect

Thanks for the feed back.

Not sure about the polished bit, i made only one level on hardware a thousand times more powerful lol.

the side effects from monsters is something I added last minute to fit the theme better, the original idea was just the secondary effect of the weapons.

really wish I did have a boss, but i didn't have any decent ideas for one.

ether way glad you liked it.

Thank you for the feed back!

yeah megaman is pretty fun platform base.

as for the jump think, I did that (left it as is) on purpose. its not really harmful and it makes tight jump with low ceilings a bit easier. all i did was not force vertical speed to 0 if you bonk your head. the ceiling stops you from moving upwards, and gravity slows you down as normal.

appreciate you playing the game.

making platformers are kinda of my bread and butter at this point. and NES style art takes so much less time to make, so thats nice.

honestly the enemy and pill items side effects were things I added in later on to make the theme more apparent.

I really wish I had an idea for the boss, this theme did not jive with me at all. if I made a boss I would want to put as much work in to it as I would the level. but with no good ideas to build a boss that fit the themes I just left it out when I got to the ending.

glad you liked it so much.

I didn't think I made it that hard.

the main idea was the weapon side effects, like how the sng gun can let you hover, or the shotgun can let you double jump. at first I was planing to make about 3ish levels where you unlock each gun by beating them. (like megaman) but that fell though because game was having less to do with the theme by the moment. so I added in the status effects from the enemies.

funny enough I program the controls with game-pad in mind. to the point that the functions is use for asking about player input I named after the control button. also I plan what buttons to use based on how it would feel to use them on a game-pad. keyboard controls are just map to what feels right after the fact. lol

anyways glad you liked it.

thanks for the feed back, the main reason the levels are not designed for the different guns is because you originally didn't have all of them at the start of the game. you unlocked each on by beating a boss (like mega man).

so the levels would build with the idea you only have the smg if it was the first level you chose. with extra paths or secrets in the level if you happen to have the right gun at the time.

as the multiple level idea fell though I just unlocked all the guns from the start because I already went though the trouble of making them.

I also thing the rocket launcher is fun to play with.

the megaman thing was not planed. it just kinda happened at some point and no one stooped to ask why.

thanks for the feedback.

I like the idea of the main weapon having extra uses that are not obvious.
