Gilles_B Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hey, thanks for pointing out you were working on this sequel. I have the same wishlist for this as the original: - make the music optionally available throughout the game. One of the difficulty switches could be used for that, so one can always turn it of or on. - offer a continue feature, at least from the beginning of each "stage", like in Super Mario Bros. In the case of GotB1, the stages would be after each key, if I understand it correctly. I haven't gotten very far after the first one. If you have something similar here, like getting past that big electric thing in the left screen at the beginning, then this could be used. If you lose your last life before getting past this, then there's no continue. If you're past this, then you can select continue, but that will not make you restart from where you last died, but from after the next big thing, like that electric apparatus. - currently, you update the lives counter after respawn, not after death, which leads to the situation where you say "what do you mean, game over, I had one life left!". You could either take the life marker away before switching screen, or you could consider the live character to be one life, so that if you're on your last one, there is no life marker visible, making it more transparent that this time, if you die, that's it. As I said at the beginning, these apply to both games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaded solder Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 This is a great looking game, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching you working on it and trying to cram everything into the ROM space. I’d love to try it on real hardware. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it looks simple, but I can see the trickery. For example: the broken floor in the last screen is a sprite! And the simple look is there, but it also just adds to the charm.

alfredtdk Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) I already think the bear got cuter. Perhaps to please the Greeks and Trojans, the vhzc will have to launch in two versions, with the new design and the classic one.
