Sonic Robo, Not a Mario Game :U

Well hello thar Metal!

Yes, it's a fan game about Metal Sonic. Generic, no? Ah, but let me give you the run-down of the game.

The Battery:
Metal's a robot, right? So I thought he had to have some sort of power source. I made him battery powered for lulz. This idea also allowed me to steal the battery mechanic from Chibi-Robo (look it up). Metal's battery slowly drains, and the more you use abilities, the more power you waste. Better moves drain the battery faster. Little batteries and/or battery monitors can be picked up for some restoration, and there will also be power stations to recharge. This is why I'm focusing more on exploring rather than speed (in a way), it'll give you the challenge of staying alive.

Features and Controls:
Z: Jump
X (hold): Fly
C: Special move
Down + Z: Jet dash

Sheilds have been implemented successfully. However, it's only the normal sheild, not the S3&K sheilds.

Flying is useful, and slightly faster, but it drains the battery like hell. Use it sparringly.

Special moves will be different depending on the item equipped. They'll cost power and rings as well to work. More on that stuff when I get it nailed down. It'll probably be like Metroid in the sense of power-ups.

Screens: (some old)

Totally the final title screen.


Flying

Jet dash (like spin dash, but no spin)

Monitors:
I have yet to implement all the monitors. Here's what's in so far.


Ring monitor


Sheild monitor

Well, that's pretty much it for now. One note, don;t comment on the "lack of graphics". It's just the mechanics tests so far, I'll work on art later.

Note: I'd love to give you all a demo (really, I would), but a glitchy mechanics engine with an unfinished engine is not something you give out.

Looks interesting, will there be loop de loops and any of those sonic stuff in there?

Probably not, I'm look more into platforming at medium speed. Loop-dee-loops struck me as highspeed things. However, I'll try and get slope support in f I can. I can't say I have anything like that nailed down for sure, though.

Sounds like a cool idea, I'll be looking forward to the demo!

Sounds cool! Can't wait to play.

Wow. A metal sonic fangame. Sounds like fun.

I'm also looking forward to the demo.
