I found a couple of bugs (Which I hope is Alright for me to say)

-Cats backsides tended to kill me more than the head, I don't know if this is deliberate but I figured Id tell you.
-Cats sometimes killed me when they were supposed to be dead.

The nice pixel art and music is very good quality. I cant wait to see the final game :3

About 60FPS average, Intel i7 with GTX260 graphics card.

Cool demo, are you planning on doing everything yourself or releasing all the art assets into a zip to see what sorts of native games people come up with?

Офигенно. Чёрт. Атмосфера отличная... на фон бы ещё лёгкий туман пустить - и пучки света.
И музыка оч. в тему.
И да... чекпойнты всё-таки надо, либо здоровье на 3 сектора поделить.
А то я пока не прошёл уровень.

I can play Pony Platforming Game on my Mac with good FPS, but I'm getting 7 at max. I'm not sure if it's Mac's poor processing of Flash, your game, or DeviantArt, but this is a beautiful, fun game that you NEED TO CONTINUE WORKING ON! I really liked what you have so far!

The game was great so far. The music fits really well with the jungletheme, and the grafic is amazing. I look forward to see the finished version, if such a thing should show up

faloxx [2012-02-22 21:45:18 +0000 UTC]

60 FPS all the time.
Daring doesn't seem to turn when you are in mid air.
Also, enemies takes maybe a bit too long to disappear.
Beside that nothing bad actualy, I'd like too see a full version of this game!

The enemies can still kill you even if they're dead. I'm not sure whether that was intended or not, so I'll just point it out for you

This is a really cool game!
I love the music and graphics in it. However, sometimes when I jump, I can't direction while in mid-air.

But other then that, this is a fun game with puzzles that aren't too easy or too difficult.
Good game!

I have constant 60fps. I dunno if that's a bug but when you jump against a corner you automatically rejump. (Try jumping left on the first ledge you drop under the Winona coloured creatur.)
Maybe add some Donkey Kong-style turning?

Between 25 to 30 to me. Win7 Ultimate 64bit 8GB RAM DDR3, Radeon HD 5450.

Anyway, her jump seems kind of unnatural when you jump left and try to turn right, she's facing left. Anyway, that's a good start.

I thought that's normal, unless you refer that framerate is meant for movies. But for games, if I'm not mistaken, 60 FPS?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

alexmakovsky In reply to BB-K [2012-02-22 19:17:15 +0000 UTC]

Yes, You're right, it's 60 FPS. Maybe there is bugs. I need optimise the game.

BB-K In reply to alexmakovsky [2012-02-23 01:51:16 +0000 UTC]

Did you check your Flash properties and set the framerate to 60fps? I didn't make games but I make animations, so may need to double check as usual.

FPS: 20-22 during actual play.

I love the music. Good job!
Seems like you jump maybe a tad too high.
Possible fix/good feature to add anyway: Press down arrow to land quicker and take out enemies (would be cool to have an animation for this).

Shveyk In reply to ??? [2012-02-22 12:21:35 +0000 UTC]

I haven't found any bugs which weren't already described. It seems very nice, graphics and music, it reminds me of Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure and The Lost Expedition. Only the jumping sound reminds me of the Atari Lynx version of The Viking Child . I hope the gameplay is going to get some enchantments like usable items (best if rare), more diverse enemies (like snakes, bugs, flying, shooting, homing...), traps, moves to dispose of enemies... But those are just my ideas of what I would do, I'm sure you have your plans how to make the game interesting.

What I'm not very fond of is the movement, particularly while jumping. It feels, well, OK, as long as I'm keeping one direction during the whole jump. However, she doesn't have much momentum, so it is possible to rapidly change direction in the middle of one jump several times and it just doesn't feel "real" (especially the backwards facing phase). I know she's a pegasus, but she shouldn't be able to glide like that with that wounded wing and it shouldn't be possible to suddenly come to complete halt in the middle of a forward jump, much less jump straight up and then dash forward in the mid-air. Similarly, I think it would be good to have similar behavior on the ground, that you couldn't run left and then immediately right. It would be best (albeit perhaps difficult) to have some sprites for turning around, on spot and with a slipping effect (like a small cloud of dust from hooves) for turning while running. Also, I suggest making at least three sprites for jumping so Daring Do doesn't look like a statue, she would have front legs raised first (like it is now), then prepare to land on her front hooves during the descent.

So, these are my suggestions of what I'd change. I of course totally respect your right to choose to ignore them.

Other than that I'm looking forward to the final game, good luck with it!

Danfish77 In reply to ??? [2012-02-22 12:10:50 +0000 UTC]

I'd suggest making the DD sprite change direction when you move in mid-jump/fall, but other than that this is astounding! I also second the enemy hitbox issue that ~Captain64 brought up.

Love to see more!

This is a pretty good sidescroller. The graphics are great. Nice shiney character sprites and the background really fit the high fantasy feel of it.

Captain64 In reply to ??? [2012-02-22 09:04:42 +0000 UTC]

On a lighter note.

The animation and designs look good! A nice frame rate and vary well shaded designs. Both foreground and background.

The music sounds good! It fits the game well and gives it some atmosphere.

Even though I mentioned some bugs and issues on my previous comment, this still looks good!

I wish best of luck with the rest of the game.

Captain64 In reply to ??? [2012-02-22 08:48:00 +0000 UTC]

Alright. So I played the game and here is what I found wrong:

Most Important Issue:

The enemies' hit boxes do not disappear after 3 to 4 seconds of being hit.
The reason why this is the most important issue I've found is because after you stomp on an enemy, the enemy has a chance to get next to you and you're dead even though you just killed that enemy.

Minor Issues

The Tiles Can Float!
Yes, if you can zoom in enough, you can see that some tiles are not actually on top of each other. Some of the plants are like this as well. It is only about 1 bit of distance, so I can see if that is overlooked.

Umm, what is THAT doing there?
You can see some white pixels to the right of the small tiles.


Glitches or Bugs

Daring Do, Second Best Manipulator Of Gravity!
Here is an interesting glitch I found. Keep on going to the right till you meet a wall that has 4 small tiles stacked up. Hold down the right button and press jump. Keep holding right and you can see she is running in mid air! That is not the only cool thing though. Do the same steps only this time after the walk cycle appears in air, keep on pressing the up button and she will jump pretty high!

Sliding Off A Platform, YAY!
I think this is a bug. So slowly get to either the light or right side of the edge of a tile ( make sure there is some distance between the edge and the tile next to that title) and keep on doing that till your whole body is either off the ledge or barley off the ledge. Then stop and watch her slide! I do not think I did a good job with this description, so here is an example: Go to the first ledge in the start and keep on going to the right till you're barley off the edge. If done right, she slowly slides towards the pit. Yikes!

I hope this comment helped the development of this game!
