Would it be possible to add an optional pixelation filter? This could be done by having the game render to a texture instead of directly to the screen, then have that texture fill the screen. Then all the pixels could be the same size for a more authentic retro look.

Every so often, it does an upward dash, but it seems to be random, and it’s messed me up a few times. Also can’t seem to dash until I’ve reached the top of a jump, which added to not being able to control jump height makes it impossible to get out of some of the later sections with more rocks falling. They can easily corner you, and more freedom in dashing/jumping would make escaping these sections feasible.

Please add jump/shoot swapping. Inverted controls keep tripping me up.

Please add keyboard config. The inverted jump/attack keeps tripping me up.

Only complaint is there’s too many one-way paths. I forgot how many laps I had to take around the place. Otherwise, a very cute game. Enjoyed it.

This game is absolutely fantastic, and I can’t wait for the next chapter! The levels in chapter 2 were harder and way more intense, but I surprisingly had an easier time with the bosses. Probably because I didn’t need to wait for a vulnerable phase with them like the first one. Still really exciting fights, and oh my gosh, mixing the mirrors with the lasers had my blood pumping. So good!

Also, just noticed the magic mirror assist. I didn’t need it since I didn’t even know it was there while I played, but that’s a nice feature to include.

Any chance of an active camera? Having to use a menu to change stick speed and constantly take my thumb off the action buttons to move the camera is really irritating, and I don’t know why every modern game does this.

Please release the source code. Under the KLPL, the use of Midi requires the game’s source code be released under AGPL v3 or newer.

There’s https://enigma-dev.org. It compiles Game Maker games natively to C++. If the C++ can be exported (I forget if it does that or just builds a binary) then it could be compiled for other architectures. Whether or not it will RUN, however, is another matter. This game frontloads a TON of assets, and IIRC, does not unload them when not needed, so good luck finding an Anbernic with the memory to run this game. Some severe optimization work will be needed.

I think the challenges need to be rearranged. The middle part with all the instadeath followed by shooters you can mostly tank makes the difficulty curve look more like a bell.

Is it marked executable?

The game’s source code is fully exposed in the src folder. You can edit any of these files in any plain text editor. However, I’d recommend making a new file in the mods folder for any changes you want to make, so that it’s easier if you want to undo them.

Does it support 3rd person view?

Just keep feeding her. The bar fills up a bit early.

Very cute game so far. Definitely keep it up. Also, any chance for mod support? I’d love to put a friend of mine in this. X3

This is certainly the game of all time.

Ooh, nice sprites! Though the nightly version now includes an actual Sonic-like character named Surge who I think you’ll find to be a better base to work on.

Yes! I’d love to see!
