Works pretty smooth, animation is great too. Except that moment, when you change directon in mid-air.

i dunno anything about the fps rate sooorryyy >.< but there wasnt any lagging so theres that,
jus a few words i wanna say,

-daring do's sprite doesnt turn the other way when jumping backwards
-it would be great if the height of the jump could be affected by the length of the button press so u could do small jumps to get over small gaps and bigger jumps to squash kitty cats
-daring do's sprite has both wings bandaged, she's only meant to have one, i dont know anything of sprite making but thought i should point that out
-it seems landing on the tail of a cat can kill you rather than the cat, or is it that i cant squish them with my front hooves? im not entirely sure, quite hard to get the jump right
-i managed to die after squishing one cat, the tail killed me...must be on steroids or summat :I


on a positive note i see that her mane swishes in the air when running and jumping and so does her tail when she runs, nice touch (though her tail doest move when jumping)

i dont kno if this is helpful, i hope it is, i really do, and i dont mean to offend your talents because, well i mean c'mon look at that, im playing as daring do!! dashie would be so jealous of me right now haha

keep up the good work

For FPS test works neat. On my PC holds 40-50 without probs.
Graphics and animations are great, wonder what will be in later versions.
Music fits theme very well, I can just imagine how Daring-Do is adventuring with this BGM.

As a side-scroll game lover, looking forward to this game.

uncanny474 In reply to ??? [2012-02-23 19:00:46 +0000 UTC]

Confirming issues: Landing in front of a dead cat can kill you, turning in midair doesn't turn sprite.

No other issues found.

Gameplay: I'm not sure if Daring should be jumping on enemies to kill them--I always envisioned her using a whip, like Indiana Jones or throwing her hat like Oddjob, but if you're set on jumping on enemies, it works almost flawlessly, although the dead bodies do stick around a little longer than they probably should--compare Super Mario Brothers, where jumping on a goomba immediately causes them to lose all tangibility, and they disappear in a few seconds. Oh, and I'm hoping that you'll have less of a focus on enemies and more of a focus on traps in the final version--that IS what Daring Do is all about, after all.

Graphics: Barring big-name releases like Fighting is Magic and the Equestria MMO, the best damn graphics I've seen in a pony game. Just plain beautiful. The lack of a real death animation is the only problem I see here.

Sound: On the music side, a bit repetitive, but at least it's a good song. Hopefully different levels will have different songs. I will note that the only animation that has sound at this point is jump, and I was kind of hoping death and the kill-enemies animations would have sounds, as well.

Story: Nonexistant, but then again, this is a test level. I just hope you have something prepared for the final version.

Overall: An excellent test. I'm following with bated breath for the full version!

I had a fairly consistent FPS of 30. Running on a laptop with the following:

Windows 7
Intel Core Duo 2.2 GHz
4 GB RAM
Intel GMA 4500 graphics processor

Lovely start to the game here, it looks fantastic. I'm looking forward to it's development!

A quality change button would be nice. Even with a Quad-Core, 4GB-RAM and a GTX 260 is my max fps 14-15.

But i can imagine that this will be a great game

piotrmil In reply to ??? [2012-02-23 18:56:00 +0000 UTC]

Apparently if you approach an a enemy from behind you die as well....
It would be better for Daring do to be able to jump down faster when you press Down... it helps with killing kitties. Also, It would be cool to add cats that can jump over certain gaps. Like, let's say gap of distance two is okay, but three it too much for them.

Not sure if it was already reported: you can jump backwards, but Daring do's sprite does not flip horizontally.

Anyway, the graphics are great! Rainbow dash would be proud!

Works nicely, FPS is 30-45. Looks nice and I like the running animation. Stencyl is a good platform, eh? Did you use any of the premade kits or did you do it from the scratch? Also, the BG music is your own? Nice! Sounds very good! Any chance of a download?

ponyvangelist In reply to ??? [2012-02-23 18:52:54 +0000 UTC]

WOW! This looks and sounds great. Not bad for an FPS test!

The art and animation look unusually good for this type of project, and the music is perfect for a Daring-Do game.

I'm not a big side-scroller fan, but I would definitely play this one. Heck, I've been enjoying just messing around with this test version.

For the side-scrollingly challenged, I hope the finished version will have plenty of checkpoints and maybe an easy mode.

Outstanding work. Please do keep it up!

As an Atari and SNES gamer from the olden tymes of gaming, I absolutely love this. It feels a lot like the old Donkey Kong games. The art style is gorgeous, the music is beautiful, and the faces when you pounce on a cat are hilarious. Very well done. I hope to see more of this.

Mac OSX Lion running Firefox, holding steady at 59/60 FPS. For a test, this is pretty amazing ^^ Many congratulations to Alex for the music, it's exactly right, especially the later sections, I love listening to it. I'd buy the game for the sound-track alone. Some fantastic work put into this already, have fun with the rest of it!

The music fits perfectly, and the whole game seems to give great expectations. If I can make a note, I'd suggest, if this isn't too much complicate, to give more movement during the jump sequence and to the tail.

The art is wonderful. The music is great too. Somehow gives me a mixed vibe of Donkey Kong and Mystery Dungeon. The only thing it is lacking is a falling animation but besides that it's really amazing.

Playing little demos like this makes me think about how I can improve my own game designs.

My main issues are:
1. no control over the height of your jump.
2. dull atmosphere

My main praises are:
1. High-quality graphics
2. The ability to climb ledges seamlessly (possibly an unintended feature?)

Page scrolling lags like crazy, but I don't have to scroll the page to play the game.
