This was genuinely fun, even if a little redundant and in need of more challenge. I think it's the dialog that made it such a joy. 

I think you need controller support in the menus too.

It's not much, but here it is... ta da:

I am finally using them for a game jam after purchasing the music 2 years ago.

Game needs a score system. Also, the whole hold X to hold in place, it does hold in place, but only after it changes direction.

Game crashed:

Sorry I missed this comment until now. Thank you so much. High five.

Thanks! High five. Sorry for the late comment.

I will think about doing that for sure. I'm not the best animator, but I'll see how it goes. :-) Thanks for the idea.

There doesn't seem to be a download or any way to play the game.

In the mushroom area, I fell onto the map and then the character no longer controlled anymore. I could still call for the map, but the character couldn't move or jump or anything else. I assume the feet were stuck in the platform or something.

Mini Doom 2 was a lot of fun.

I love games with trains, and watching them go, but after the first few levels, this one is too tough for me.

Fantastic looking lights.

No image?

Each time I juice up my shmups people remind me the point is to see the projectiles and dodge them and not to overwhelm the player with distractions.

I'm with NTTP, it would open up toxicity if not bribes for ratings.

Even Pong vs Mario Tennis which I can argue are elaborate versions of the same game.

Keys don't seem to work for me.

Youve been releasing a lot of quality content in the past week rather than every few weeks. I hope it all pays off. You have a great price point for all your enemy packs.

Sure, what's your email address. We can give this a try. I deleted your email post as I don't want spam bots getting you.

Looks fantastic as always, but perhaps your best pack.

In a sea of generic 2bit collections that look white and black, yours looks like it has texture and great detail.

I have this: https://sitebender.itch.io/space-base-platform-shooter-8-bit-art-graphics-pack

There is now a NES version with modified colors and extra boxes  Turns out to be half the file size as the original.

Not sure if it's a freeze or just stuck. I can't even close the window now because of it. Bad first impression.

Wow. Thanks for using it and telling me about it! I think this would be the first time it has been used. Someone else recently released a game a few weeks ago, but yours was made months ago. I will check it out for sure and probably add death animations.

Thanks.

WebGL 2 not available

Absolutely you can use this asset for personal and commercial purposes. Let me know if you need any other wooden objects and I'll add them to this pack.

https://sitebender.itch.io/wooden-crates-ladders-elements

Wonderful Wooden Elements is a free tileset in the 16 x 16 format. You'll get boxes, you'll get crates, you'll get bigger boxes that are 32 x 32.  You'll get ladders, top, middle, bottom, moss covered and more. But wait there's more! Sign posts and fence posts are in this amazing pack for the low low price of zero dollars!

Not convinced yet?

Try our 16 x 16 barrels and even our 32 x 32 for those big boys out there! Need platforms? We got em! Three dull, basic platforms along with wooden posts to hold them up. Operators are standing by and a free pile of pixel art wood is included with every download! Can you believe it??

Oh but wait... you're not out of the woods yet!

The pack contains four colors of luxurious wood elements! You'll get dull brown, amazing yellowish brown, a gentle orange and a pizazz inducing red.

I checked and you're correct. I got a Steam key. I was just digging through old itch.io stuff for things to play and came across your game.

I see you moved over to Steam. What happened to the files here on itch.io?

Sure you can. Thanks. You'd be the first person that I know of to use the graphics pack. It is by far my most viewed and downloaded thing here on itch.io.

I have in the past, but nothing seems to get done. Maybe they've moved on or they just don't know how to fix the issue.
