Its an odd library. It has a lot of good support and a ton of capcom ports, but it IS a console with roughly a 2 1/2 year retail life. And it doesnt feel like anyone ever used the specs to their full potential.

like i thought i would like croc because i like tank controls and i stomached so many bad mascot platformers on genesis and amiga ports, but i played that thing for 3 minutes and went 'nope nope nope nope nope'

It IS a lot like experiencing MD all over again, I've played a lot of really illuminating stuff, found a lot of new all-time favorites though i find i have way less tolerance for jank and low-polish stuff here compared to MD, though maybe this will change as I run out of high-budget stuff to try

ohhhhhhh they aren't even subtle with this (it sounds like a genuinely good game from reviews tho i should give it a try)

a shining force clone with a title riffing on fire emblem this is some The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest action right here

i'm kinda surprised they didn't use this as a window to port shining in the darkness and force 1/2 to the saturn like technosoft did with their thunder force games, shining always seemed like one of a very few MD games to have an impact in Japan

thank you again for playing the game! it's ok if you can't speedrun it rn, just trying it means a lot to me

How have i only just now seen that roll chain, thats next level schmoovenomics

Thats awes- HOLD DA PHONE... vectorman and toy story spotted

that was also how we played it the first time lol also found super hang-on, kid chameleon and vectorman 2 through that and loved them. shining force was on there but i didn't play it until i was around middle school-aged

flicky is an all-timer, my older brother doesn't care at all about arcade games but if flicky is brought up to him he'll no-death up to maze 25

the little dpad-shaped selection tool when choosing a move is so brilliant and i wish more people stole it

I think to some degree, re-framing your perspective would help. A 2CC/3CC is something worth celebrating! It's not 2nd/3rd place - you cleared the game under the stipulations provided, that's a 1st in any dev's book. Getting a 1CC from there is more like cutting down your time in a race

I would simply like to include easy modes in future games, as an option. I should have worded this better. My bad.

Wanting to respond to a lot of the replies but don't really know where to start 'cause my head's in a tizzy I have no intention of making my games 'easier' on their root difficulties, or adding sliders/customization/etc. I think it's the responsibility of the developer to define game objectives ->

Oh yeah it definitely is part of the experience I just think I should also have a lower level than Normal, thats what I did with cycle chaser, ppl liked it, and actually went out of their way to try normal/hard afterwards I dont know why I stopped doing that tbh

I think we have to agree to disagree on that, though ill agree its dumb when Konami makes you step up to the hard mode to see a real ending

like Easy (inf. continues) Normal (inf. continues) Normal (5 continues) Hard (5 continues) that kinda thing

thanks for agreeing to play this! your description footnotes are always a treat to read
