Mailure

Nice game with lovely retro graphics! I enjoyed the oldschool gameplay, but I must admit it was a bit confusing at first. After a few tries I was knocking out postmen and dumping their letters though :)

I also think that implementing the C button wasn't really necessary. I would've preferred if your character picked up a letter whenever you touched one, but that's just my only criticism.

All in all, a really enjoyable game!

Thats nice that u loved it :)
about the C button and why not take the mail directly when collision I dont know but I think I wanted to make the game not so easy :) so I made that decision so that if u are in hurry, u may miss getting the mail from the postman :)

Thnx for the comment :)

Good work on this, nice concept and good amount of polish. Gameplay was pretty straightforward if you read the how to play, and I was fine with the speed and the Z, X, C controls- but it felt like the ladder could use more polish (e.g. change it to be able to hold both left/right arrow and up arrow at the same time- still lets you climb), and as Alexitron mentioned, the game can randomly make it impossible to win if your dogs are not recharged yet- which a lot of people seemed to do for the Failure theme. :)

Amidos is from Egypt dudes . You can't really blame him for his grammar , i admire that he isn't afraid of showing off his games even with this language issue .
That aside , this is a good game , is a good and simple concept , it looks awesome , the sounds are good , the music fits , the bonuses are OK the special dogs attack is cool . On the presentation side this game wins .
A few things kinda messed the experience a bit for me . I don't see the need to press C to pick up stuff , they could just drop and be picked up by colliding with them or if you think that a button is needed then pressing UP or DOWN could have done the trick just as well .I just didn't get used to using the pick up button .
Another thing was the placement of the ladder , if I had to hit a postman that was near the left side of the screen and then another one popped up two stories up or down and my dogs wasn't ready then that was it , by the time I got to the ladder and started climbing , the guard was gone and I was busted . Maybe if the ladder were in the middle or near the middle I wouldn't have felt like a lost in a cheap way , but lost because I wasn't fast enough or wasn't paying good attention , which in my opinion is what the game is about .
One last thing , and of this I'm not very sure , but I managed to fall off the ladder and out of the screen . This only happened once . BTW :why does the ladder goes beyond the bottom level ? Shouldn't it stop in the last floor ?
Anyways , even with this small issues I still enjoyed the game and played it many times . I managed to make a bit over 1000 points . Yes , I suck....

Wow what a great comment Alex :) about the c button I made it becz when I knocked a post man beside the ladder and press up or down the player climb the ladder instead took the object :) So I made this hack

About getting the mail with no collision becz I wanted the game be hard :) the ladder to be on one side is for the same reason :)

you could hide behind a green trees if u are stuck no one will see you ;)

Thnx alex for the comment I wish I could improve my language :) Thnx for this really nice comment and Hope u loved the game :)

I liked it. Only problem for me was the bad grammar/spelling. Is English not your native tongue?

Great game, I love the music too.

Amidos

Thnx zacks but these two functions are in pro version and I dont have a pro version so I cant use them only I can use these ugly grey ones and I didnt use it alot its only one time in the game when u hit escape :)

Thnx zacks for the comment :)

Callan S.

Well, that's not true. I've used those functions many times and I'm using the free version of game maker. My game 'wilderness gauntlet' uses them, for example.

Interesting idea... I thought the graphics were great. Making custom message boxes would give you games a nicer effect then those dull gray ones:

message_background(background)
message_button(sprite)

Amidos

Thnx both :) but what do u mean when u are well hidden and u get caught :-??

does this means that when u are hidden behind tall grass and get caught this never happens at all :-??

I dont know if u understand it very good (may be I am so bad in writing the how to play? but if u can help in that tell me)

But the two things which make u lose in the game is when a postman pass the screen and have a mail becz by that way he delivered the mail to ur mother

or u hit a postman then when he woke up he saw u and catch u :)

but if u are hidden behind grass u cant caught by a woke up postman :)

Hope that helps

Nice game, although I agree with playjamesgames, small things detracted from the overall experience. Good job nevertheless.

Kaude

Ok. Well i played it some more. I think I understand it more now. You have several typos in the game, so it's somewhat detracting from the game.
I find myself getting busted sometimes When I thought I was well hidden.
