Foxman · 25 November 2017, 10:35

Hi,

A jump and run for boys (Jack - The Unicorn Hunter) ist also in the pipeline.

The game is beta an need some balancing, bugfixing and some more screens.

So give me some feedback please, because i have played a so much that im not a good tester at all.

Regulary betatesters are welcome

You will get some credits in the released game

Horses are the best animals for me

Even with Super Mario Bros flowers

Good luck!

I bizarrely like the graphical style

Retro1234 · 25 November 2017, 13:31

Hehe Unicorns I bet your girls are happy

Gzegzolka · 25 November 2017, 13:47

Thx for your reply guys.

Yes my Girls like the unicorns

@s2325: Very nice intro of the video

. Your second run was better and yes the best way is the ladder at the start of level 1.
But with joystick i think the level is no problem, did you play with keyboard?

s2325 · 25 November 2017, 18:47

It's not my video, I'm just subscriber. Could you draw smile on unicorn as it seems to be not happy?

Foxman · 25 November 2017, 19:23

I will try it, but with less pixels its not so easy, but i will give it a try

s2325 · 25 November 2017, 19:24

thanks!

saimon69 · 25 November 2017, 20:06

If you need some tunes more in the spirit let me know

Foxman · 26 November 2017, 11:19

At a1k we have noted some troubles while booting the floppy disk.
Now it seems to be the problem on patched systems (Kick 3.9, FastExec and so on).
So if you have this problem, try a "cold" start (not Reset) with floppy inside the drive.

With Kick 3.0/3.1 and 2MB RAM it should boot without problems.
Other tests (Kick 1.3/2.x) and 2MB RAM are welcome

Little update, the Panel is working correctly in the end (thx for the help to the community)

Little Facelift for Elfie

Lemming880 · 02 December 2017, 00:00

It's alway nice to see people still creating games on the Amiga. Good work on this one.

Short life sign from me.

After I had little time, is currently up again and I have started to work on Elfie again.

Mainly still missing some pictures, introduction and start screen.
A few bugs have been found and some still need to be fixed.
Music is ready and otherwise I am so satisfied.
(So even if I do nothing now the game is basically finished)

Explained goal was to put it on one floppy disk, and actually it looks good.
Since the Protracker soundtrack must be used, the music also takes up a lot of space.
I also tried to grab you the exe, but then I get an "Error" at the start, otherwise it would have been about 120 Kbyte free shoveled.

Currently the game difficulty is rather simple to normal.
Later I wanted to release an extra version for the little ones (without deadly traps and easier jump insets).
But that only after final completion.

I tried your game… on WinUAE (Don't have my original Amigas anymore..)

First i tried with an A500 config, with 500kb chip and 500kb slow memory.. the game took for ever with long black screens to start and then it stoped with a memory error (not enough of it…)

Then i tried A500 with 1Mb chip + 1mb slow (i forgot what slow is btw, i Always only used chip and fast), then the game started (still long black srceens, ). Big problem, the horizontal scroling is awfull SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… When i just wanted to go up it worked…
Unplayable…

Then i tried with my Amiga 1200 config (2Mb chip + 8Mb Fast ram), fastest possible… it worked much better !?? tought the game was OCS ?? But the screen strangely got much smaller (?????), did you invert the "thing" ?? I mean maybe the screen should be smaller on A500 and not with a better machine ? but well, it worked.
The music is cool, the graphics are ok, the game overall is not that bad, but not really my prefered genre..
The high score at the end doesn't work well for writing the name (i couldn't go up or down with the cursor when i wanted), also have to remove "<New player>" every time, which is annoying.
