If you keep pressing Z & X really fast, you can fly
shh, dont tell anyone
how do you get through
i suspect youre playing on browser? u can download the rom and play on bgb or mgba since some browsers causes a bug that you cant shoot, idk how to fix that, its a browser issue. try clearing cache?
I love the reworked graphics and the overall faithful recreation, this is amazing!
Amazing Controls. Just feels great to move around with this game. The dodge actually Dodges and has good invincibility frames so cant wait for the full version
there is no full version of this game since its a recreation of goodgis' demo only, maybe, if they permit me to demake the full game when it comes out but rn, theres no plan for it XD glad u like the game tho
Hopefully because if the real game has movement like the demake you made, it's good. Reminds me of Smash bros were some characters movement speed feels good and then others don't. For example kirbys Games always felt great moving and this game also feels good moving. Then there's other were the movement like some castlevania gotten me killed because of the bad movement. I also wouldn't even known about this game if it wasn't for you demake so you are giving them some good exposure
hopefully they give me good exposure too lol XD
goodgis removed the demo, this is my only source of happiness, thank you
If you have the updated Platformer Plus you can just tie a projectile script on your double jump state and restrict jumping when you're out of ammo. This was before the New P+ update, so my take was attaching a script to A button [uncheck] and increment double jump field when ammo is present.
This game was awesome! Great job! I love dew drop dynaty, and this is the next best thing! :D
very cool tho i very easily found a way to infinitely jump by spamming z and x alot
xD that is intended
ah, sorry, thought it was a bug lmao
Nice work. It reminds me your metroid demake. Could you release the code source for this one too please ?
This is a really tight game overall, I had a lot of fun even when I was just maneuvering around and exploring! Thanks for including my music as part of the project!
thanks!, im not a music guy so i appreciate the ones who can do it and ill gladly credit them if necessary. your music are a great addition in the gbs community
Good demake game. It claims as a demo but to me it's good as a complete game.
Wasn't expecting Hollow Knight cameo here but hints have been shown early on. It was fun nonetheless.

Great demake! I really enjoy it :D
Nice work so far!
Great! Love it!
good game.
keep the good job :)
Nice! I think I'm stuck though. I beat the bull creature and gained the Spore Shroom but I can't talk to either of the two flashing creatures in the next room or in the room with the crystal blocking me from talking to the similar looking crystal thing beyond it. There are speak icons in both these rooms. I have only two of the three green symbols and can't figure out where to go from here. Is that the end of the demo or did I miss something? :P
did u try shooting it? The last flare marker is obtained after the end boss, so youre not finished yet
Ah, I hadn't found and turned on the switch to lower the crystal blocking entrance to the other world yet! But, after beating all 3 bosses, on my first run I still had only two flare markers. :/ A glitch? Everything went well the second play through. There's a place where I can consistently fall through the floor into out of bounds in the final area. It's possible to jump out though. Just weird. Also, what's the deal with the broken device operated by the ticket company thing? Nice demake! Now I want to see the original. :)
U cant actually se the final marker as its obtained after the end boss aka the demo finishes. The device is broken in the original demo too so idk abt that lol. Keep in mind that my take on the game wont be in the original tho
great game but i dont know what to do after getting the gun/jump boost ? i just seem to go round the levels but still cant open some of the doors and get stuck in a loop of levels with the mini boss ,,, any tips ?
Did u check the map? U probably havent explored hard enough to find the hint
didnt know there was a map ! will fry again ...
That is an impressive work! I haven't played the original demo (but I'll download it to give it a shot), but this plays very well and has a nice feeling to it.
I'd say the save rooms are too far away apart xD And I feel the infinite jump is quite hard to pull off.
That being said, I think you have quite a neat game engine there. Congrats!
i just remade the demo so the save room being that far isnt my idea lol, the inf gun jumps are easier to pull in hardware devices if u use your fingers ala arcade machine controls
Yep, most of my gripes would fall on the original demo I guess! But yeah, I only tried to pull off the inifinite jump on an AZERTY-keyboard using Z and X, probably not the easiest thing to do ^^
i have never encountered diff keyboards apart from qwerty so I'm sorry if the controls arent quite optimized, I can suggest another trick on the GJumps, hold your jump on the last gjump then only reload when u need te extra jump, gives u a lil hang time then
Don't worry, I kinda get used to it playing itch.io games ^^ "XCVBN" are the same keys whether you are on a QWERTY or an AZERTY keyboard, I usually try to bind my games to those letters to make sure it is good for everybody. It does seem only French and Belgian people uses AZERTY keyboard, interesting.
Thanks for the tip for the infinite jump!
never played the original game are you able to rapidly tap A and B to hover infinitely in the original version too? :0
no, thats an exploit in this demake and a feature as well. you should try the original demo its free on steam
will do :)
Quite the impressive demake :)
eeey!! thanks!!
super nice. pretty and smoothly silly but not dumb... very very fast but not anguishing.
amazing is there a way to download it? Would love tu use a controller
Oh frck! I forgot to upload the rom file xD just a sec
thanks! You are very kind and talented
Awesome!
