Miner Rescue + Miner Defense!

Hi everyone!

Heres the result of my struggle against the 100 events of the free edition. <img src="smileys/smiley18.gif" border="0" align="middle">

It's a platformer with aliens, miners, and your goal is to save miners stuck in a cave with aliens. Pretty simple. There's also some secrets to be found. And there's NPCs to chat with.

It was quite a challenge to get it done within the limits, but i think the result is acceptable. Anyway, here's the game

Miner Defense! I'm adding it on this thread because recycling stuff is cool.

This one probably happens after the first one, aliens are mad because you killed all of them (probably) and sent reinforcements. You play as the archer that was on the tower, the tower got partially destroyed and a mad UFO is shooting your mining village, or something.

Basically, it's kind of a boss fight that would follow up the game, and i'm not any happy with it. I kind of got mad at the limits and stopped working on it. Anyway, i think it's still a bit presentable, so here it is.

and as usual

GAME

I like it!

Especially the ghost spiders <img src="smileys/smiley16.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Very nice work, i like it a lot

Pretty cool game; I think I found one of the secret rooms, but what exactly am I supposed to do there? The room was filled with mushrooms and had gray blocks that I couldn't destroy.

Pretty Nice for a limited game ...

Thanks for the kind comments!

Oh, there must be something you haven't found yet in that secret room ;)

Anyway, i tested the game in another PC and found out the font i used didn't work, anyone knows how can i fix it other than using spritefont?

Saved all miners! Very nice work. :)

I had the impression to play an Amstrad CPC game. ^^

I cant play the game. It crashes my Firefox. <img src="smileys/smiley6.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

really enjoyed it

was just thinking i could use a weapon upgrade then *bam magic sword <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

nice and retro the mushroom made me grow in secret room may have missed something

really good liked, shield block nice and wonderboyesque

Nice game !

If only game play was this good when graphics was this limited.

XD

So! I've fixed the fonts using webfont, thats a good thing, since now the game looks as i expect <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> But it still goes a few pixels up at Firefox, so i'll probably have a look at spritefont to see if this gets fixed.

This week gonna be busy at uni, so no work will be done for some time. But after that, 'im going to check at the crashes, as GameThirsty said he had, and i had myself while testing the game on Firefox in a Windows XP vm. It also crashes opera mobile o.0

The aliens will probably get reworked too, to free up a few events and make they more simpler and solid. They also take up alot of processing, which is also one of the reasons the game is kinda short. So if i get them to be simpler, i'll be able to expand the map a bit.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback and support so far! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Wow! Really love that 8 bit look! I miss those days...

Really good and pretty stylish going the minimalist way. Didn?t find out how to move below the surface. Jump down? How?

edit: okay found out you need the Z key for going down on a platform, which is on my X on my not english keyboard layout   <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
