It's really good. A bit of lack on the wonderful demon slayer humour, yet it's very funny to play anyho'. The music is also contribution to a almost-spooky atmosphere, and the ending truly rocks

What I didn't like where the execution of the controls. Using bullets have it's downside. How about testing if the zombie is "shootable" upon pressing the button and make him splatter in green gew. Somehow, wasting those foul creatures was a bit disapointing when they just disappeared.

Also, the walkmode was a bit annoying, since it seems you took the characters x or y value and added 400 or something. Add about 4000 instead, cause as it is now, he suddenly stops now and then, and the screens ARE rather long

Still, two thumbs up, especially for interesting arcade sequences, and once again, the ending

It looks like i am going back into the Squinky Lee Gifford Pixel Sweat shop....

Squinky, I loved this game!! It was great! The graphics, the gameplay!
You should at one point make a full-leangth "Demon Slayer" adventure with little arcade sequences like that. It was great work, man!
How the hell did you get those zombies keep reappearing like that? You gave an illusion that there was an infinate amount.

Mech! Great job on the tiling and music

Love that tune..

Well, I havn't played the others before... but this one was quite a bit off... odd... entertainment for a few minutes.

It was nice, I really liked it.

jAcK-o · Thu 26/09/2002 15:24:48

Man, you gotta at least play the very short, yet VERY entertaining and thought out Bert the Demonslayer 2!!...it is on his download page?

Me must sleep now...if he found out the had the time to type this, yet didnt work on his sprites...ack...the humanity.

BTW, thanx Snake

Thanks for playing the game guys! And 2ma2, I'm probably going to update the game later as a side project, and I'll try out some of your ideas....
Anyways, I didn't give enough credit to mechanico, he did ALL the sprites for this game, which totalled well over 100 in just about a week and a half! So, kudos to mechanico.....

Oh and snake, thanks for the compliments, the script for the zombies appearing was just a statement in the if monhit=0 then I added to an int called alldead (which kept track of the number of dead monsters) so when all the monsters were dead, a timer starts and then when the timer finishes, the monsters appear......took me awhile to script, like everything in this game....

jAcK-o · Fri 27/09/2002 05:14:40

thanks for the kudos bro. Just i almost don't wanna claim them they were rushed so badly? Work, sleep, sprite work....ack...
but anyhow..The sprites are getting worked on...i may update some of the established current sprites, along with the additional animations of gored zombies, etc.

Maybe give Squinky a lesson on how to use tiles? =P

Less of a rush is always a good thing...but so is a deadline?

Nostradamus · Fri 27/09/2002 05:44:12

That was cool. I think you can make a kind of Ultima style RPG using this style.

Igor · Fri 27/09/2002 14:40:03

Squinky- that was really entertaining. It almost made me think it was made with MMF... very different from what you expect out of AGS. Congrats.
Just a little suggestion: i'm not sure if it's possible... but could you code main character so it would only walk while the direction buttons would be pressed?

jAcK-o · Fri 27/09/2002 19:50:34

I am almost 100% certain that he is going to do that in the re-release, the directional button..."god i have no breaks" problem...i mentioned it too.

Esseb · Mon 30/09/2002 15:33:52

Well, cj, sylpher and gilbert has spent eons trying to do just that, to no avail, so I'm damn sure it's not possible yet

Squinky · Mon 30/09/2002 19:40:50

Yep, I can't do it.....The keypress deal, But I have improved some other things, The new release will have much better graphics, some gore and nude supermodels.......
Okay, no supermodels........

jAcK-o · Tue 01/10/2002 03:22:50

damn, and i just finished the nude supermodel sprites...
