Robot Farewell prototype

A very early prototype for the next game: Robot Farewell. Jump, shoot, walk around  (was "Find the Happy!" in the previous build)!
The thing in the corner is hitpoints (there'll be 9999 hitpoints in the final build).

Requires DirectX9.0c (IG Maker requirement).
No installation necessary, just unpack it (don't forget "Extract to" - the file is compressed without the directory in order to allow Quickplay) and start the exe.

Commands:

Cursor keys to move,
Q: Jump
S: Shoot;

F4: Fullscreen,
Tab + Space: Restart,
Esc: Exit.

Includes a few enemies, some basic graphics and music by DeanAHGuitarist. The Robot character is still a placeholder. Leveldesign is a bit more defined. Note to Quickplayers: the game is around 15 mb due to music (IG Maker only supports wavs for some reason!) so it may take a while before the pack downloads.

The opening may seem weird, but just press Q a few times after the cat-robot starts sinking (even if he sinks to the bottom the game will just teleport him a few tiles back). Hopefully it'll make sense in the full game when put in context.

  It does sorta feel like megaman and maybe even metal slug. (the graphic animations made me think of MS games)
  
  Actually the gameplay felt more like Metal Slug and that is a good thing, those games were alot of fun, keep it up.

  Thanks, hopefully the finished presentation will be a pleasant surprise - it's quite different from the prototype ;) can't say anything though since it's such a short game that even saying what'll it be about is kind of a spoiler...

  Oh wow Megaman associations are definitely welcome ;) still, this game will be much easier, especially compared to say Megaman Zero 3 on GBA. In fact as the plan stands now it will be impossible to die (somewhat similar to ButaVX) and except for maybe a battle or two there will be no requirements for super keyboard skills.

  Reminds me of the newer Megaman games, but with original graphics and such. Looks pretty sweet.

  I found the happy!
  Definitely an early build of the game. Very much looking forward to it, though. Looks like you guys definitely have a good start on it. The artwork is great so far! Keep it up!
