Just like I commented on Gunhawk. Can you upload the digital manual in PDF format?
Fire freaks me out.
That is a perfectly rational response!
:) :) :)
Simple, Fun, Classic and A lot of Fun! This game feels like it came out during the NES's heyday. Great Game and nice work!
Thank you! That was the exact vibe I was going for!
que tiene de nuevo la version 2.0,gracias
There are some bugfixes and the main character has a new sprite.
You can use the old sprite by holding the B button during the title screen.
I love the game! What happens if you keep going? Does it loop until it crashes or is a final stage set?
Never mind. I found out 7-5 loops back to 7-1.
And the time limit goes down with every world 7 loop, until clearing stages isn't humanly possible.
Interesting. Good to know!
My little tribute to this game...
Thank you for the video!
You are a true Scholar and a Gentleman.
