Masquerade

This is my first game that i made with MMF2

This game is about a man who lives underground
He has no friends, the only thing close to a friend is his cat (who hates his guts too but likes the cat food)

everyone in town fears him because he looks scary.
He wears a mask coz his face is horribly burned.
He realy likes to get out of this cave he lives in and rent a nice little house somewhere in town.
but the town's people would have him for breakfast if he would show his face around.
he thought about killing everyone in town but that would leave noone to fear him anymore

And then one day a evil wizard with his demon friends came along and kidnapped a girl from out of the village.
now he doesn't like to save innocent girls but it's better than hanging around with his cat all day

Sounds like a box office hit doesn't it.
(Brilliant story)

Controls:

left/right----walk

Down----------Crouch

Shift---------use sword

CTRL----------Jump

Avoid all traps and make it to the end
with only 10 lives

Hmm... It would seem that this is a very fiendish game indeed! Very fiendish... Yes.

Constructive comments? Well, maybe you could lower the difficulty a tad, I found myself being bruatlised VERY often.

Well done!

Ohh, i like this! This is what I want.

Though, it's a shame that you can't kill the cat! x) (i tried for 5 minutes...)

Made it to level 4!

The cat is his only friend, one must be very disturbed to kill his own cat

It looks quite nice but the game play is a pain in the arse.
The fact you can't consistently attack whilst jumping or falling was the death of me about 17 times before i just gave up.
Very frustrting.

Also right at the start after about 2 seconds I accidentally landed on a devil's head and got ripped in half.

good, but could be a lot better.

Very cool game. I like the morbid/halloween aspect, it's almost scary. But the gameplay needs work, especially when jumping over spikes. Even if you're just standing next to them, you die. Give a little buffer space around the guy.

Thanks for the comments: the dying part next to spike thing is lame, i noticed myself there are some bugs around like falling in the acid pool (there's a spot where he can walk over it lol) can't seem to get that right.

Haha. The story was hilarious! The game was quite fun too. I like platform-games like this one.
Although, I thought that it was a little too hard. 15 lives would have been better... Or perhaps it´s me who suck

It's not you grickmin, this game is too tough. And it's mainly because of the collision/control faults.

I'm with AndyUK and surfer2008 when saying the gameplay is a pain in the arse, and the spike jumping.

I got killed when i swung my sword at an enemy ... the spike popped up and killed me instantly.
You should leave some breathing room, but still make it hurt.

You could probably make a smaller version of the character, that follows him around (inside him), and have so the main character just gets injured when hitting the spikes, but if the more inner part gets hit, it kills him.

Or a similar method like that. As long as it increases the playability.

I got mad and quit too. And I was quite irritated while playing it, instead of having Fun.

So, yea, if you could fix that, that'd be great.

I liked the storyline though. That earned ya the 3rd star.

This is good it's got an arcade feel to it. I dunno how many levels it's got but if it's a lot then it could do with save points because it's really hard.

I think i've completed it! I did all the levels and the evil devil guy chucks the fair maiden on the spikes and the game abruptly ends! Did i complete the game Dr Botox? Dam it almost feels like the end of halo 2 and 3, i want more.. and at the same time i don't know what the F is going on!

I agree the game engine could use a little work, my main compliant is the guy should jump higher. But the incredible dark story and quirky graphics i just can't get enough!!! This guy really know how to draw and animate sprites example watch all the characters walk... amazing!!!! I love the little devil guys and the clown badies!!! SO did i complete the game or am i missing somthing?????

atleast theres a consistent style here, unlike that other thing released lately

The game is good. The jump is sort of dumb for a platform game. And the walking into the spikes is bad too. would be 5 but 4 is a better rating.

Isn't there any way to maximize the screen so I don't kill my eyes ?

The screen is too small for me to focus.

Really irritating game. Great graphics and animations though .. just not big enough.
Good Intro, but hate waiting for it all the time after I lose all my lives.

But, it is your first game, so 3 stars is fair.

There's not even 8 levels in the game is there ?

It's like 5 or 6 right ?

Well, it feels kind of abrupt once ya finally do beat the game anyways.

I had to "Cheat" sorta, to beat the game, and it was still tough, but at least I could see what I was doing.

I used a magnifier program to see full screen

Now to Delete this game from my hard drive and Never play it again ! Yay !

omg .. there's a happy ending ? ..

A Massage Therapist in this game somewhere ?

This game annoyed me too much, too tough .. I can't play through it again just for happy endings.

What happen with Flawless Victory ?, he save the princess right ?

Hardly worth playing through again for that. Meh.
