 Re: Gravity Boy

This game is inspired by the one I created last year for the HCC competition.
I hope I’ll be able to attend the HCC meeting, but I’m not entirely sure yet.

Congratulations. Nice work. I've seen the idea somewhere. I think on a mobile? This game is very difficult for me. wink My reflexes are not good.

Hats off to LBM for a stylish, polished, challenging game!

Can't wait to find out what happens to Gravity Boy once he grows up. I guess I have to wait for to the sequel, Gravity Man, and the final part of the trilogy: Gravity Grampa wink

 Re: Gravity Boy

Am I wrong, or both Captain Slim and Gravity Boy ends and the game stucks forever in both the cases?

Yeah, both games end like that.

 Re: Gravity Boy

I reached the end, the scores don't match and the 36 digits corresponding to the final room has respawned in the upper part of the screen*. How I did it all? :o

 Re: Gravity Boy

I had a lot of fun (and was a little annoyed at times), overall a great game. As Csabo wrote, it has potential for a sequel. grin Friendly note: the end could need some polishing, it looks a bit rough compared to the rest wink

 Re: Gravity Boy

Of course it is not the intended end sequence, but unfortunately I introduced a bug with the last modification. Really sorry for that. I uploaded a fixed version.
This is the real end screen:

OOps. I didn't play with the fixed version. I thought the new music was a bonus at the end.

Don't drink and drive thru space!

I saw that you added a file apart, you might consider a silent swapping of the release instead.

 Re: Gravity Boy

Thanks you guys! We really appreciate it!
Last time I worked on a game was in 1995, that was bloody 30 years ago ... so I kinda had to relearn making game graphics again. Not to mention that 1bit has it's own unique challenges that I still need to practice to master it.
It was a fun project to work on! And now let's see your times!

(Has anyone figured out what's hitting the window?)

 Re: Gravity Boy

Oooh now it has a proper final, moreover the upper side border graphics works way better than the early release! I finished it with the new ending to see how that works, and now gonna raise my casted vote!

The trick at room 62 is awesome. I had no idea you could fool the enemies there.
