Great! Thanks, Ashley

Your choice of silhouette-style is a good one, and you have a very nice monster to motivate the player! However, I did have a bit of difficulty with the wall-jumping. I couldn't seem to use it reliably enough to escape the monster's clutches!

MAAAAH! How the heck do you guys make such polished graphics??? I can only manage these stupid pixel art things.

No shame in that; pixel art can have a lot of personality! Start out with what you're comfortable with, code a good game, and then polish up the graphical elements after!

Only a walk animation? If I'm paying for a collection of images, I want the most bang for my buck, daggummit! Where's a jump, crouch, idle, climb, or roll animation?

Also, i just read the rules...why are the first 2 banners in the contest?

I'm talking about this rule:

[quote:1abxa8zj]It must be an advertisement soliciting the participation and contribution of programmers writing actual source code.

I thought the same, but I figured the admins would okay the banner if they thought it permissible.

CATabalt?

Very amusing, and quite fun. I liked the alternating weather/skyline changes. . . nice touch!

Gah i wish Bespectacled's was a bit more clear. Its nice though!

I started on a slightly larger canvas than the required 220x220. Image scaling is wonderful

I apologize for (the overuse of?) the 'Birth of a Hero' font. It just looked cool, hahaha

Well, I just had to ask--I saw your other recent post . Congrats, man! Looks like you're living the dream!

Were you hired by DXGames, by any chance?

I own a copy of this, and when multiplayer alpha has enemy mobs, some friends and I are going to have a LAN dedicated to it. :p

I'm really excited about the online multiplayer prospects as well. All I can envision is Lord of the Flies, hahah
