Minigame Competition #39, Shy-guys

Actually, you can jump. And I have plenty of time to tweak the grass if it looks bad.

You're a new member so I'm just being cautious.

You didn't USE someone else's program right?

Woo hoo I'm actually doing something this time!

Hope I'll get to finish it on time though...

No, I made the engine myself. I did get the character sprites off of here, though.

The actual gameplay of my one is finished, but I've still got to do all the stuff like title screen and game instructions.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I have no idea what to call my game.

Is this any better? Just a little smudging in GIMP.



Also moving platforms. Yay.

In general, it looks really bland. The blocks, which I assume represent high differences, looks weird and unnatural.
The grass should be done by hand, IMO. Not using smudging tools and spray paint tools and crap. But, then again, these Minigame Comps aren't about pretty graphics. So it highly depends on the actual voter.

Speaking of my minigame, I think I made it too fast . I've already got it done in four days.

Have fun! Note that there's only one maze in this version.

@Echidna: You mind putting in the .dll? I can't play it because CNCS32.dll is missing.

Also: You've got about another 30 days until voting period. There's ALOT more you can do, I bet.

30 days is plenty to work on this

It's called The Legend of the Radient Mask. It's a Metroid-esque game. (Even includes some sprites from the Metroid series, but not too much)

Quick question.
Does a Bandit count as a Shy Guy? They look pretty similar, and I just had an idea involving Bandits.

A Bandit is a sub-species of Shy Guy, so I'm guessing it would be okay. You'd have to ask Dark Yoshi (the one who started the competition) about it first, just so you won't get disqualified.

Oops, forgot about that. I also forgot to set the application info. I just updated it. Download link is the same as before.

And yes, that I do. I just wanted to be sure my game was in. I have another level all planned out already, waiting to be put in.

I added a thing into the first post!

Doesn't everyone use someone elses program? Or did you make the program you're using to make your game yourself?

I think he meant engine.

Placeholder graphics and early engine etc.

IMO that grass looks fine. You really should stop *****in' 'bout it. Please?

And I don't think I'm flaming. If I am, sorry.

Under normal circumstances, I'm a major critic. If the grass looks fine to you, then that's your opinion. If I think the grass looks like ****, and I provided reasoning, then that's my opinion. Telling me to stop complaining about his half-assed grass tileset is like telling me to write a 3 sentence review for a fangame on the main site, if you know what I mean.

What I said though, is that graphics will count if the voter feels he/she does. He can keep the grass like that, but it could affect his vote amount.

Any ideas on what I should call this?
