Just played and finished. Did it on the Windows version (FS-UAE emulated)
So, first, I did not really like the button mapping you chose, so I had to change it around, but I guess that is something debatable.
Here are some issues:
- Losing all health results in an empty bar, only after an extra hit does the player die.
- There is some weird tile collision where it seems like the player should hit the tiles but doesn't.
- There are some leftover tiles in certain places under the view port, which result in sometimes the player falling and just awkwardly standing there.
- Enemies suffer from friendly fire, which makes the game easier. (Could be a purposeful choice).
- Hearts carry over, which most probably was done on purpose, but it adds to the overall easy feeling the game has.
- When climbing the stairs and stopping, the player still does his walk animation for a few milliseconds.
- There seems to be some screen warping on certain lines.
- Enemies that jump sometimes multiple jump and end up off screen.
- Sometimes enemies just burst into flames by coming into contact with Simon, which, whilst badass, makes the game easier.
- There is an overall jankyness to collisions and animations, hard to pinpoint besides everything else I already talked about.
- Sometimes weapons trigger with a delay, which is also a problem with the original Amiga ECS version, so it may be the emulator at fault.
The graphics look very very nice, but could use a little more work to be more distinct from Chronicles. The new Simon sprite looks amazing.
The soundtrack is hit and miss. Most tracks are good, some sound a little off.
