ESC doesn't work. I always have to shut it off manually. The problems seem to happen randomly...one time I died and I couldn't do anything, but the action was still going on in the background. Then sometimes it just crashes.

Once AGAIN, wind-up is not a problem; it's the inconsistency depending on whether you're standing still, jumping or just landing after a jump.

X-G: I guess I still don't get what you mean then; seems nice and responsive to me ...

Tried it again; I guess you mean if you push the punch button just a hair before you land? Otherwise I don't see any latency. Like I said, I can combo a jumpkick into a punch, no sweat. I can probably compensate for that though, so if your timing's a bit off it doesn't get wasted on an aborted jumpkick

adds to to-do list

Yay! I just finished beating the boss. Not that hard. The bonus level is insanly hard though. How are you supposed to avoid those green floating things?

Finally: The mighty chris barry does something other than spam.

Seriuosly,. i skimmed the other posts but here are my comments. They are only to help, remember, i would not insult a fellow programmer.

a) I never once punched an enemy without him first punching me. Maybe I suck at it, but i couldnt quite time it right so that i hit him first.

b) the jump kick was pretty useless for as far as I could get. Im sure its useful later though.

c) Why cant we move up and down in the road like river city ransom? Is this in the works?

d) The punch-kick combo is actually quite cool, but gets old quite fast. Hopefully there will be more moves later, i think i read that somewhere in a previuos post.

12) make a better menu system.

IVVXXIL) i got 60 fps

Um... Site Bandwidth exceeded.

Well, I have (if you don't count the bonus level). It's much easier just to jump over all the enemies and not even fight them. That's how I did it.

You should also add a slide, and being able to ride in the cars!

No...:'(

very good 23.

I didn't like the messages.
Because they are very long and they said nothing.

The mosters are very good.
In 15 min I reach the second monster.
Your game, make me remember shinobi or shandow dancer

But you game did't had scripting ?

Thanks

For the record, I've been coming up with some level and enemy setups that won't allow you to do that anymore Or at least give you some incentive to deal with enemies rather than have them shoot you in the back I'll probably give them less life too ...

Really? I thought it was the standard for these things You want the other Ctrl button or something?

Well, they said a little ...

Wow, it took you 14 minutes to beat the first monster?!

It had some scripting using Lua; you can see that just from the datafile The enemy AI was hardcoded; I tried going the script-everything route and found it too cumbersome. This works good

Yes, but it wouldn't be true to the nature of the game. TMS is a very simple character with a very simple moveset; the trick for me is to make the enemies as imaginative as possible so you can get a lot of mileage out of those moves

BTW, does anyone notice a big frame drop in the bonus level? For some reason, my system chokes on it, cutting the FPS down to 30. Just did that today, and it's annoying the crap out of me

PS: Has anyone beaten the bonus level? Have you even reached the boss?

Left CTRL and ALT is usally the standard, innit?
