Edit | Until the retro topic fulfils its duty, I won't post screenies.
I am very close to releasing a demo of Pixel Man! for the PC. With low screen resolution and huge pixels, it has very simple, yet cool-looking graphics. It also utilizes the full screen and will have 5 unique boss battles!
Here's a rundown of the plot:
Jc was a happy programmer. He had created a lot of characters, but one was more special than others- Bob. Although he got hurt a lot, this stick man was the topic of several games and was great for hours of entertainment.
One day, Jc decided to create a new character. Using a very small 7x16 grid, he created another smaller stick figure, named Pixel Man. Pixel Man was intellegent, agile, and friendly, unlike Bob. Jc immediately liked Pixel Man and he became his new favorite.
Obviously, Bob was very jealous. Although he wasn't getting hurt or being made fun of, he wanted the center of attention. Unfortunately, Jc was always ready to protect the harmless Pixel Man. Until one day...
Jc decided he needed a vacation. He left his house under the control of Pixel Man and left promptly. As he went out the door, an evil grin grew on Bob's face. He could get rid of Pixel Man!
He grabbed the pixelated fellow and took him into a faraway land. Just before he could kill Pixel Man, the little guy escaped from his grasp. Now, Bob is on a hunt to catch Pixel Man.
In this game, you play as Pixel Man as he journeys through odd worlds, jumping and running all over creation. Although he can't attack, he can use his skills to find his way home using the flags (touch one to complete a stage.) There will be 5 worlds with 2 stages apiece. There will also be a boss for each world- you must use the environment to defeat the boss. (One of the worlds will be TI World, and the boss will be really cool...) Can Pixel Man return home and survive Bob's murderous attempts? Who knows. Its up to you!
You can also pick up 1ups and Gems (100 give you a 1up) along the way. You can also expect to find the same great soundtrack (with more sound effects this time!)
My other projects are still active, by the way.
Edit: A demo is ready. Just for the heck of it, I'll release a public demo of BobGame6, too.

Edit | Okay, there's a bug in the demo... when you lose against the boss, the game will end. I've fixed it. I'm working on the second world now, with the boss completed and 1/2 of a stage complete. I also still have to add the 100 gems=1up event.
Also, I will be writing a "official strategy guide" for those of you who find the game too hard (everyone.) |

Edit | Alt-F4... I forgot to put a quit button in the demo. It has various bugs, I'll release another when World 2 is finished (only 1 level left in it) that have fixes.
:) Whoops. |
