Minkey - Possible new Amiga Platformer - Page 4

Alpha One · 08 March 2021, 13:24

Hello,
just some screenshots as a quick update of the development.
Startmenu, 22 levels and endpart are already done...
Another 10 levels will be added and then hopefully I can send some betatest versions to whoever likes to give it a try.

At the moment it only takes up 240 kb on disk including all gfx, levels and 11 testmusics, so the endresult will surely be 1 disk only.

Greets!

Wow!

It looks nice!

i hope, it is not a NODOS Game, but with an HD installer.

Alpha One · 08 March 2021, 15:12

No, it will run from HD after a simple filecopy. :-)

Great!

I heard about this game through "Indie Retro News", and as I'm preparing my next "RetroVision" livestream for Saturday night (20.3.2021 - 20:00 CEST). The game looks absolutely fantastic and fluid - I hope it plays that way too.

I would be very happy to have a playable version of it (can't find any download here). If that would be possible, just let me know and contact me via our Discord page or website: https://discord.com/invite/c4prmkK

I would then present all the information included in our Twitch livestream and do some advertising for the game. Please make sure to include a readme or PDF document for all important infos for the viewers.

Have you tried doing a search on IndieGameMusic.com ?
Might be something useful there.

Hi, in fact it's ready since 1 year. :-)The dude that made the gfx promised me another tileset for world 3 but it looks like it will never be finished. So I will release it as is (24 levels) really soon for free.

Or ask for a tileset here, there is plenty talented graphicians.

Hi all,
I uploaded a little 4 level demo...

TCD · 26 August 2022, 08:38

Oh cool

Gonna try it later

zzbylu · 26 August 2022, 14:21

Here's the guy who told you to ignore forums making a suggestion :P

This game is super cute and cool! but one tiny problem I may bring forward as suggestion... don't let the character move that close to the border (horizontally) before scrolling. Never a good idea on platformers that do this. Character should always be as centered as possible because lack of seeing what's ahead can be frustrating, also feels a bit unnatural.

Great work!

Alpha One · 26 August 2022, 16:30

You are probably right.
I adjusted it 16 pixels left / right.
Somehow I thought it's a good idea that some fast enemies suddenly appear, makes it a bit more difficult. But somehow a bit unfair, too. :-)

Thanks for the clue.

AlphaOne your game is great!

Will the final release have all the 11 levels you were planning?
Would it be ever possible to buy a physical version of the game?

TCD · 26 August 2022, 17:42

Just had a go and I like the style of the game

Jumping feels a bit 'floaty' though.
