double press left or right to do a dash.
I'm going to see if I can work out a double dragon style jump/attack, because the current version is janky.
I'm reserving the select button for golden axe style special moves.
I was thinking about trying a parry or roll, but I don't want to make combat to complicated.
Block could be a nice option. Especially if I introduce unique moves.

Got to watch out for the scope creep. The full game will have heroes.

thank you!

I emailed out itch keys a while back, so if you claimed it, you should be able to download the update. If you shot me an email, I can double check the itch key.

I'm not finished with updates, so I'll send out a message once I hit a finish line. 

Thank you. 
I'm hoping this will be the last rounds of updates. I would really love to move onto Annihilator 2.

Thank you!

Thanks for playing! The demo is rushed, but that's okay. Gives it a chance for public feedback.  I think polishing what is here, will be enough to carry the game. The jump causes a headache, while the camera is moving, but overall isn't really good execution. It's mostly there because I wanted the B button to do something. 

I think it might be a combination of jump, jump attack, and screen scrolling causing a looping issue. With the Chromatic, I can force the slowdown doing that, but it shouldn't continue throughout all parts of the stage. I know the browser version does some funny stuff. IDK.

Thanks for playing. I also would like to be the first. That sounds like a fun achievement. 

Haha! That's awesome. 

Like character assets?

has this been showing up frequently?

Usually this bug shows up in the first stage of the game. I'm not sure what causes it. But you may have to delete your save and start over.

Are you using a flash cart to play the game?

I do, but I need to setup a new shop online.
I'll update my newsletter list when I'm ready. I don't know how long that will be though: https://zc.vg/hrVkA

I just learned itch has a game randomizer.
That's a cool idea for tik tok content. 
Thanks for playing.

Awesome and Thank You! I'll keep you updated!

Hell, you can get all the virtual hugs you want.

No

I work in Construct 3. Here are some more of my games: https://saltandpixel.com/arcade-beta-v1-1

Interesting. I need to add a emulator trouble shooting guide to my website or something. Include all the ways user got the game working.
Good information to know. Thank you!

That's true... lol 
Gonna fix it. 

Hey Thank You!

Okay, yeah the game is not play tested for mobile, so all kinds of bugs may pop up. A poorly coded emulator will cause that.

This weird graphical glitch. It has to do with the looping bg stopping to fade the stage out. I'm not sure why it happens.
It changes everything not in the loop. It's odd. 

1. Is this preventing your from continuing the game? 
2. Try using https://mgba.io/ - That's what I play/test the game with. 

That's new.
In the beginning of Chapter 2, you shouldn't be able to control the character in the cutscene.

How are you playing the game?
Can you send me a video to brandon@saltandpixel.com?

Hey Ricardo! 
Sorry about that. How have you been trying to contact me?

Email: brandon@saltandpixel.com
Discord: saltandpixel

That's what I use. Does it do that every time you play?  Maybe try clearing your save.

Hey!
I think this happens with emulation. For one user, it fixed when they updated their firmware.
What kind of hardware are you using?

There will be boxes. I held a pre-order in OCT. '23 for physicals and ordered a few extra PCBs (small window to get a physical game).
I'll also hold another pre-order later in the year. Make sure to be on my mailing list to get first dibs: https://zc.vg/hrVkA

Me! 

Hey! Thanks for sharing. This often pops up on emulators. I recommend using mGBA (https://mgba.io/)

It has something to do with the emulator trying to mimicking the GBC Hardware CPU. 

If this shows up on hardware, I'll need to what was happening before this popped up.

Just letting you know I sent out an email with the .pocket file. 

Yeah! I can do that!

Time to build that custom Game Boy.

Correct! There are a couple of ways to get the game on hardware. 

• One method I use is an EZ-Flash JR. There is also the Everdrive GB X3.
• With a cart reader/writer  (https://shop.insidegadgets.com/product/gbxcart-rw/) and rewritable cart: https://shop.insidegadgets.com/product/gameboy-2mb-32kb-fram-flash-cart-ultra-lo...
• It works on handheld emulators too. I have an Anbernic. There is also Chromatic and Analogue Pocket, but I don't have either of those to test on. There is also FPGA emulation, which I'm not too familiar with. 

If you wanted to play on PC

• You can use emulation. I recommend https://mgba.io/ (Quickest way)
• If I ever figure out how to package into exe, that could be an option too.

You are welcome! Enjoy!

Certain emulation will crash the game. It's hard to pinpoint which ones will cause it. Sometimes a firmware update will fix the issues. Certain emulators are poorly coded or something. Those kernal panic screens pop up a lot with emulators. 

Thanks.
How are you playing it? emulator, flash card?
What stage were you on when this happened?

Nice! 

It's better just to make it optional. It allows me to ignore the opinions on it lol.
