The Cheat Code to open up the tollgate without paying
If you're at a tollgate in this game, and there are about four, if I remember correctly, there is a little cheat to get past them. You'll need plenty of room to do it, though.
Jump to the left.
Take a step to the right.
Wait until the idle animation. The hands should be on his hips.
Duck.
Look upwards, duck, look upwards, duck, repeat until the gate opens.
Why am I bringing this up now? Well, I forgot about it.
What's taking me so long? Designing assets for the volcano level. Also, allergies.
Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom, boom boom acka-lacka boom boom.
I decided that the fourth button will be used for switching between using weapons, and not using them. Why? Because it works with the mouse's scroll wheel.
Also, you've got an indicator at the top-left if you've got the gun active or not.
One of the bonus stages will be a top-down stage where you try to stop the Demolition robots from smashing the summer home.
...but I don't know whether or not failing a bonus stage should "count". I think the worst bonus stages in gaming are mandatory.
Now going through the animation process. This could take a while.
It's kind of a wonder how Treasure managed to pull a front-facing boss moving sideways at least twice.
Why a chrome sphere for this logo? Because I wanted to.
What happens in the "O" usually changes from game to game. Cybosaurs had Sinistar, Shiro Ninja had 
, Shiro Ninja Mayhem had Pirate Jack, Dragonian had the cast of Staff of Laria, and so on.
Still working on it.
There's definitely treasure around here, but it'll still take a while 'til we reach it.
I'm getting close in the rigging department. I might need to adjust how the shoulders work, but it's getting there.
If you've had your fill of games where you play as elephants and blue hedgehogs, this might be for you.
...and I haven't advertised this the best, but it's coming.
...well... This is awkward.
Yes, I CAN make an animated background within a matte, with a shifting color palette. However, I realize this doesn't look like lava, no matter which way you shake it.
...the effect's cool, though.
It's getting closer to being finished.
Even though the 2.5D gimmick was only for that one level, I see no reason to not use it for this boss fight.
