This brings back memories, thank you and well done :)
Thanks !! that was my only goal
Whaaat a flashback guys. Just like I remembered it. Congrats, my little kid said, "why is a geko carriying the body"
why is a geko carriying the body :-)) excelent !!
Definitely feels more responsive than I remember on the ZX Spectrum!
Thanks !! Even if the zx spectrum version was not so bad.
I really like the concept/graphics - this could be even better as a beat-em-up rather than a 1vs 1 fighter?
I had a little trouble with the controls, I'm playing on a keyboard, but I did die and my head got cut off. the animations were really great, and the monster that carried off my corpse was a nice touch.
would love to see the source / assets, maybe it could be remixed into something even better from this concept.
giving higher marks for AI since you didn't hide it
overall, I liked it!
Thanks for playing !!!
It’s an homage to Barbarian (1987) on Amstrad CPC/Atari ST/Amiga and so one ..
Controls: It uses the original controls — some of that old-school stiffness is intentional. Sorry if the keyboard felt awkward there is a menu to remap them.
Glad you liked the animations, and the monster carrying off the corpse was a fun detail to add. Have a nice day ..
