You are called in to stop the madness. Punch your way through the levels and face off against the boss. No continues. Post your high score at the continue screen or at game completion.

Gaia Gensouki 742 Member · Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Just gave this game a try. I don't have much experience with homebrew games, so this is fairly new. I have somewhat mixed feelings about this, too. On the one hand it's super impressive that someone manages to develop a game for this old hardware, which probably has to be written in assembly? On the other hand you can tell that these games are a bit rough around the edges. There were many, many deaths by enemies straight up spawning while I was jumping over a cliff and due to the ensuing knockback I got thrown into a pit over and over again. The range of the default weapon, i.e. fists, is also very short which makes jump attacks fairly difficult to pull off. So it really takes a bit of time to figure this out and get further. I'll try to improve later. Anyway, here's Wonderwall my score: 1,334,600 Edited August 19, 2020 by Gaia Gensouki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jicsan 532 Member · Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) 68,050 Those guys in the hats that throw out words... they take too many hits to kill and are standing where you can't make jumps or even reach them to kill them. Unless maybe I'm missing how to do something? Edited August 16, 2020 by Jicsan Posted pic that followed the rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless maybe I'm missing how to do something? Yeah, they're really cheap. I would ignore the one in the first level. As for that guy in the second level you need to get yourself hit before jumping on that guys platform. Mercy invincibility lasts quite long in this game and if you're fast enough you should be able to jump on that platform and either kill him or maybe just shamsh that boy once and jump again to safety. Some of the crates are also tough to get to at first, but they're so useful sicne they give you better weapons. Maybe this game will be significantly easier once you've acquired nicer weapons.

DefaultGen 4,537 Member · Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) 186850 What is with these guys? Is there any way through them without damage boosting or using invincibility frames? What's with the coin arrow!

CasualCart 6,093 Graphics Team · Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I'm excited to join in here to fill out my 'Taste the Brew' box for VGS Bingo. @Deadeye - I want to double-check before playing, though. Do you have the rights to distribute these homebrew games for the contest? I just want to make sure I'm not downloading and playing something without the 'okay' from the developer. -CasualCart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadeye 1,569 Homebrew Team · Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 @Gaia Gensouki This homebrew is an unfinished prototype, so I agree it is a little rough around the edges in that context. Stick around for the next round, Cowlitz Gamer's Second Adventure, that may be more to your liking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
