Very cool game with really cute animations and great dialogue. Like the little messages the character says in response to the texts on the walls. I found 8 of the trophies, but have no idea how to get to the room below the level, that’s blocked by the boxes. Dunno what i’m missing. But i enjoyed figuring out how to break the game :P. Great job.
ha ha there are some really hidden platforms you can drop down from. I definitely could have made the secrets a bit more obvious. But i assume you missed the one where the platform is right next to the door you open on the third stage. There's also one on the main menu, but you have to drop down from the very end scene in order to get that one
Ahhhh ok found them. I just did not consider that there could be a way down :O But i think it’s fine that they are hidden that way, after all it’s supposed to be a secret. I liked it, it makes it more satisfying when you discover one.
So far the best one I played ... good job! :)
Umm its good
Hey! Sorry I don't have time to do a full written out review, but I did play your game on stream which can be found here(Check the description for timestamps to all the games if you want to just see yours):
HEY LISTEN! I really appreciate you playing my game! me and boxfriend made this game together i did the art and he did the coding and your right it is a play on mega man i'm very glad you played it I hope your game does good!!
THAT SEEMED LIKE A REALLY AGGRESIVE HELLO, lol but anyways no problem. it was a fun game and I am glad you guys joined it. It was a really solid platforming 4th wall breaking type of game
thanks also the hello was a legend of zelda reference
Lol I know, I was just messing with ya.
A very simple but sweet game I especially enjoy the art style! Green is usually a dislike of mine but here you made it very appealing with the pixel art and the outline on the character whose animations were very clean. I also appreciated the idea of keeping glitches in the game in order to grab the trophies and outplay the maps. The simple idea that I can jump again when I touch a wall is definitely something a game dev would fix in a normal game but it flips around here. I would have enjoyed some kind of music or sounds from the gun shooting to add atmosphere but otherwise great job!
Thank you!! me and boxfriend made this game together and i made the art and he did the coding! I appreciate your compliments and i hope your game does good!
Anyone else able to find all of the secrets?
Loved the ending scene. That was very cool.
Nice art and dialog/story as well.
Good game, Congrats!
Thank you I made the art and box made the coding i'm glad you liked it!
really charming. Loving it
This was one of my favorit games so far!
Loved the ability to revolt against the system, that sense of defiance is inherent in our psychology.
The hints left by Hackerman, through his internal dialogue was also well constructed, and led me on the track of exploration.
The minimalistic graphics worked perfectly for this game (the little flying bugs were especially nice).
Good game overall!
Loved the concept and 4th wall breaking like everyone else. Nice retro feel to it and liked the music as well
Cute Megaman inspired animations :)
really cool game i replayed for more trophies and got the really long text on the menu
Good Game! I liked the 4th wall breaking and the choice to comply or break the system.
Loved the 4th wall breaking lol
Very nice game!
btw you should remove those quotation marks from "bugs"
