Ruivo! Thank you very much for your showcase videos in the Brazilian OpenBOR community. ;D We work very hard on our projects, and it's great to have an expanded audience! And I hope they appreciate and enjoy the fruits of our labor as well!Ruivo said:Very cool!
Now, back on topic: I'm downloading your game as we speak, zvitor! As soon as I'm done, I'll give you my impressions.
EDIT: And I finally played it! Here's some of my key impressions so far:
- Overall, the design of the HUD and consistency of the sprites is rather well done. I also enjoyed how varied the stages are. Straight beat em ups can get stale here and there, so this was a refreshing deviation from the original.
- There's a handful of elements I'm going to paxplode and steal ;D I was that impressed by them. Notable examples include: the poison smoke entity; canceling out of anim Fall by pressing the Jump button; wall jumps; and that thing where if you fall into a pit, you don't die, but instead jump out of the pit with reduced health
- Change the color of the enemy bullets in shmup stages to stand out more. I can't even tell I'm getting hit until after I see my HP bar decline. Look at Cave shmups for an example--neon blue and red bullets are clearly visible, and visually signal to the player to avoid them.
- Black Canary's grab special (Attack2 button) is very fun to use. I usually dislike throws in beat em ups, as they disrupt the flow of gameplay IMO. But here, it happens automatically and so fast, that it's actually quite satisfying to use.
- Robin's bow staff special moves too far and does too little damage. Most of the time I can only land one of the initial hits on an enemy, only to continue to whiff. It's a lot of MP for an attack that's easy to miss--and it's not very rewarding when you don't miss.
- Reverse Flash is kind of bullshit to hit. I mean, yeah, I understand that's probably the point, but without Robin's projectiles I basically wouldn't be able to beat this boss.
- Really like how the Character Select screen changed to illustrate the change between Gotham City and Metropolis
Great work!

btw, the game were updated again:
Here is my playthrough of the version 2.1 bro:

Still not a fan of the platform stages with the enemies, I just flew/glide right threw them lol!!! The Wonder Woman stage where you fight the Minotaur appears to go on way too long or maybe you just need a second player lol!!
The extra characters are pretty well done, Steel and Plastic Man are a beast if you know how to use them correctly!!
I completely destroyed Darkseid with Superman, lol, he didn't have a chance and I noticed he pauses sometimes letting you hit him?? I don't know if that's a glitch or not!!
Anyways, looking forward to the next chapter bro, thanks again for the game!!!!
