oh my god pal.. im so sorry.
why when a fangame genious did this such of cool work, their damn computers tends to crash!? i remenber this on similar cases, as the old version of the awesome "metal slug 5 elite fangame". pal this happens so many times i guess..
well, then let me tell you some things.
1) hard drives crashes after 8 years. is his life time. more further than this without backup all the files on a external hard drive... is a sure disaster.

(i hope you could do this by the way)
2) for losed files. use "recuva". this free program is AWESOME.
did you erase your curriculum vitae from oa pendrive? use recuva.
did you erase all the photos from a movile phone by mistake (my brother did this

) use recuva.
did you disconected your external hard drive by unplug it at brute force, and you cannot make windows can open it? use recuva.
in all those cases, i tested the program and i was abble to recover all my files!.
best examples, the day my brother erased all the photos of my mothers mobile phone.
and more important, when i commited the stupid mistake, of unplug an external hard drive (western digital, i hate you) by the brute force. instead of simply shut off the computer ,for can extract the usb cable with security.
i losed 1TB of bor games, fangames, etc, etc. but thanks to recuva, i was abble to recover ALL using another new hard drive.
recuva sucessfully jumped the registry error that the broken hard drive was, and copied the ENTIRE content of the crashed hard drive into the new one.
and even on the same order i haved these things!. ;D
of course, recuva dont pay me nothing for say this. LOL. but i saw that this free program is awesome for recover losed data. very recommended to all you guys.

dont worry if your hard drive has crashed. even when windows dont open it on a new computer (using an external hard drive empty box with your hard drive) dont send it to the trash yet!...
pal, all my computers experience, tells me many times this...
a completelly DEAD hard drive, tends to resurrect. for unkown reasons.
and no matter how many times you already tried unsucessfully to connect the crashed hard drive, with an external box to the new computer by an usb cable...
one day, for some BIZARRE raisons, you mistaken the hard drive, took one you was for see if you have "something there" or free space, and... it was surprisingly that broken hard drive. whom now has sucessfully load!.
this happens to me 3 times... with different crashed older hard drives.
and thanks to the empty box and my patience, one day after 3 years, i was rewarded with a sucessfull plug in of the broken hard drive working.
on that moment, you simply must copy and paste (more faster than cut and move) all the content to a secure new hard drive.
but do it slowly... taking only a few files every time. (for not block the device). wich not works too fine.
it tooks me the whole night...

but finally i was able to recover many of my losed things on those broken hard drives.
THE TRICK?, is to keep the hard drive always COOL.
i means that if the device works too much time, it became hot and can stop of work.
so, you must take some ice cubes from the freezer, and a recipient for they. putting it over the hard drive.
i know... this could sounds really stupid and crazy. hehe. but it WORKS!. believe me.
well, i hope not was you case. and that you could sucessfully recover all, or mostly of your things... included the works on this awesome fangame.
thats why is good to upload fangames betas into clouds fils places. for avoid virus deleting files, hard drives crashes, etc.
greetings

this is for everyone... did you see these modern chinese tablets or mobile phones?
in just 3 years, they will became extremelly powerfull. cause some of the today chinese not so expensive tablets (220 euros) can load powerfull graphics modern pc-console games. ;D
so, after a time with not so good games, (as this stinky final fantasy 7 remake, these unfinished assesins creeds betas, or shit stuff like that) the gaming industry will move on these kind of devices. pc and mobile phones/tablets. instead of consoles. (that today only are "modified computers")
that fact, will be much better for can have better quality videogames. with steam style platforms, and of course will be good too for the openbor engine sucess!.
did you not believe me? today on japan, i hear that they just dont buy consoles.
they only play at their mobile phones... i think this show clear the future way... isnt?

Well, thanks a lot for the feedback, miguelo777. First of all, those links you sent me with the unused sprites and stuff were REALLY cool. Regarding the difficulty of my game, a lot of people have mentioned that but whenever I play it I really have no problem getting rid of the Foot Soldiers. I like the fast pace. I really appreciate the ideas but I prefer the turtles as the good guys. I still need to come up with a "at least" decent story that explains how the old levels and the new ones that I wanna add to the game are connected. I'm probably gonna have to work on the story for now since the computer that I'm using to make the game just died on me. I'm gonna have to buy a new one but since this happened recently, I'm still looking into it.
