Its been a while lol
Sorry for my long inactivity, but I was able to catch up on some progress you've done, including this game.
It was good, obviously a ton of bugs and things that aren't polished as you and some commenters already stated, and that is ok, since I know you have a much more ambitious game to work on.
My advice for your next big game would be to play with camera movements more and make it dynamic, and practice animation and visuals a bit more, maybe as personal test projects.
If you want to push beyond the Scratch vector look, I recommend using less of it's built in costume editor and instead draw and import your own sprites to the game, (and maybe vectorize it if you want) this way not only will you make a new art style not many scratch games has, you will also get used to other game engines that requires you to import image assets for 2D games, too.
Good luck to your future game, I believe it will be fantastic with your creativity! You have my full faith and confidence, and don't let anything discourage you from your goals and dreams!
bug: if you hold space to fast forward the intro text, the last image of the cutscene will persist
We are so back.
cool text simulator! I went through all the levels in dashs ignoring all the enemies, I win all the bosses in one and a half seconds, without receiving even one unit of damage. The ending with the freeze is so strong that I cried.
(How did you even think that making the dash longer than the screen and not giving it a even minimal recharge is a great idea? Isn't it obvious that this is just a way to skip literally the all game?)
Free
Alpha Demo V2
Version 2 of the Alpha Demo. This includes a few fixes; some bugs are still present here, but should be a bit more playable.
This is WIP game I'm making myself as probably a last installment to the video game series of K&F, and also last game I'll be releasing for free. After this, I'll start working on a HUGE ambitious project and finally start selling.
I'm also working on a new K&F S episode on YouTube.
This game will still kind of be short but no shorter than K&F VG 2: Epilogue. All I planned is have 3 small levels with the 3rd boss being the final one (which is the new villain for K&F), with a little something special at the ending.
Also, sorry if this game will turn out to be more sloppier than my other games. I'm prioritizing speed than quality because by the time I start my first commercial project, it'll be the other way around. I wanted to work on that one so badly because I have been waiting for nearly 2 years to start on it while I have been finishing my other unfinished works.
But hey, to the old K&F fans out there, at least you get something than nothing.
However, I would still occasionally let out update patches after this game is done.
This game was inspired by Alien Soldier for the SEGA Genesis. The Alpha Demo is also available to play so that you get to experience the game before the finale.
Difficulty Levels:
Difficulty choices are available here, unlike the previous K&F games. What do they mean?
Casual: The easiest difficulty, for casual gamers. Reduces the number of enemies on screen.
Standard: The default difficulty. For people who want some challenge but not too much.
Professional: For gamers who can pick up patterns quickly or have some reflexes. There will be many enemies on screen, so don't select this if this is your first time player.
Important Info:
Now, this game has a tutorial in it after the cutscenes that teaches you how to play, so I don't need to explain it here. However, what do you need to know about the keyboard is that to pause, press P, and you can switch characters during gameplay. This is also because I completely removed the Scratch header toolbar because I finally implemented an in-game pause screen. Though, the pause screens are deliberately disabled when you reached to a certain point of the level, and you have to play as a specific character, but you can still switch characters during bosses.
Additionally, this game does allow you to connect your controller and play the game with it. I recommend Xbox controllers since the extension I used is optimized for Xbox. Vibrations will work as well. And I will put in this diagram so that you can get the idea.
For the cursor actions, that is exclusive for the Windows 2000 simulator part. You don't need to use them anywhere else.
There is also one little trick. I engineered the levels to clone themselves in tiles but because of that, it's pretty buggy which means it can make you clip at the bottom or the top of the level, so be careful of that. I also implemented a hovering feature where you press A while in midair, and you can use that to escape fall deaths by spamming the A key.
Pretty much it. Don't forget that this is an Alpha Demo, so you will experience some issues, but I'll try to do the best I can to polish it, even though development speed was the priority for this game.
Full game progress: 50% complete (This includes what I already have in the demos).
I'll keep you in touch with any more info or anything I have in the sort.
