Very nice platform game that already makes a pretty good impression, even the cute chubby boy character. 🥰 A bit more fine-tuning of the graphics and playability would be desirable.

Viewing post in Wardner Level 1 Demo (Amiga AGA) comments
Wardner has over 72 colours on screen in AGA and big parallax objects, you will really see the difference when I downscale for the OCS machines. I would also recommend a better Joystick, maybe a joypad for this one if you don't have an arcade style stick :)
Thanks for taking the time to have a look at Wardner and showing it on your channel. Please reference the arcade original as well so you can judge the conversion too.
I played with an ArcadeR joystick with USB Joystick Adapter, a robust remake of the Competition Pro with 2-button support. The problem is that the second fire button is very difficult to reach, as the joystick has always been held in the left hand, as was the case with almost all games played with this joystick type in the 80s and 90s. For this button layout (button 1 = jump, button 2 = shoot), a joypad is really the right choice. Nevertheless, it would be nice to be able to choose between a joystick and joypad layout in the future. This way, you could jump as usual with the joystick up, while pressing the fire button to shoot. The second fire button could be optionally activated in the options menu. 🙂
