Thomas Jentzsch Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Very cool, really like the end sequence. I think there is a bit too much time though. Maybe starting with 1200 would do too. BTW: Is that a bug? Spoiler I was able to move the bar to the very right and then this happened: He was moving up to the top an then died.

Thanks for report that bug. I will fixed it in the next build. About the time. Since the remaining time is also your score I think the current time is fine, also I am playing with the idea of give some type of rank depending of the remaining time.

guppy Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Suggestions: 1. Make introduction skippable by pressing button. It's cute but I don't want to sit through it every time I play. 2. Have an casual mode that gives you infinite lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could make the introduction skippable, yeah. 2. I think the game difficulty is not hard, so it doesn't need infinite lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ? I made this game with few and easy changeable color definitions, so once I test and remove any possible bug I will release a pal60 version. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NML32 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) I recorded a video playing Game of the Bear RC1 (maybe you saw it) on the MiSTer FPGA A2600 core. It looks like there was a collision bug on the first level that I thought was a teleporter. I guess I haven't gotten far enough to see a teleporter. I'm enjoying the game.

Yeah, there was a collision bug in RC1, I released RC1c to correct that issue. Thanks for testing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devwebcl Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Good game (esta bueno) I agree it is similar to your other games, but I don't think this is an issue, but a good thing, because it has evolved into a better (puzzle)-platformer game. I will test it in my real 2600 later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eegad Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Excellent game. Looks and plays really well! (though I must say I'd also love a mode with unlimited lives since I've yet to get more than the first key) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the game difficulty is not hard, so it doesn't need infinite lives. It isn't hard, exactly, but getting deep into the game requires a bit of time and some good luck/skill to not make mistakes. Starting over from the beginning is fine for a old school experience when games were meant to be hard and suck quarters out of pockets, but a "casual" difficulty level where you can start over on the screen you died as many times as you want would be welcome for some players. A lot of Atari games had "teddy bear" difficulty levels intended for small children, and I think there's a segment of the audience that appreciates this, while there's also a segment that appreciates a more difficult challenge.

SIO2 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 What a great game. So many amazing things like the spring, the water fall, the transporter, the fire. Not only does it look great but, it is a lot of fun too. Nice work. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
