Challenge accepted bro! Upgrade your armor to unlock new valor combos!

CONTROLS:
- Arrow keys to move

Who's the voice actor? I like him.

Played this. Seems like if you get both dark and holy armor before entering level 4, you cant get in.

You have to get the matching armor kit for the level. So if its got a red aura around the level = red armor, white = white, black = black.
Same goes for the mini boss enemies, you have to change to the right armor kit to be able to hurt them.

I voiced it xD

Yeah, we had a bunch more of sound clips too that we didn't use. However, I do need to have an improved area for voice acting. Some clips were so crackly that we were forced to remove them entirely.

This game is probably better than the other ones Stone has made previously, but I can't help noticing the same problems with each game.

It seems that when you run, jump or attack you slide unavoidably, making the game a little frustrating.

Every time you turn left or right, the v-cam moves also according to the angle, which can make it harder to jump on things.The camera switch isn't smooth at all so it puts me off the game altogether.

I think it would be better if the camera was maybe further away, so that you can focus more on the stick man and the environment, which in fact makes the player appreciate the game more, entirely.

Also, attacking enemies can be quite dull since you only need to go mad at one key, you don't really get a variety of glorious combos..

The voice acting is okay, but it doesn't really fit the game's orientation. It could also be of a higher quality since I could hear when the recording starts and stops.

Overall I give this game a 6/10 but improving on a few of the problems I came across it could easily be an 8/10.

I can agree with you here on a few points and I appreciate the review! There were some minute changes ( such as the sliding being added in ) per request of CJ. The camera's odd movement when switching direction was suppose to take care of a viewing issue when having multiple enemies on the screen. It allow syou to keep them on target, in a sense. The more combo's thing is suppose to come with buying the kits. Each kit has a unique combo and valor special aside from the first model which is just a health, armor and dmg upgrade.

All in all, I hope I could clarify a bit on why some of the things were the way they are :}

Thanks for the review!

I'm glad you assessed and concurred, I appreciate that.
I still feel it would add a ton of adventure to the game if it really felt third-person giving you more control. But I guess that's just my preference.

Good job overall~ :)

Well, I tried out the game yesterday and I've gotta say, this is probably the best game you've ever worked on, next to RapidFire.

The only problem I had with the game was probably how quick it took to get the highest equipped armor. I thought that the armor should be more of a challenge to get, because I had gotten the Hell armor set in around ~5 minutes.

But again, this was a great game overall. The fighting mechanics were excellent and it reminds me of Cosmoseth's older games, and I'd like to see more games like this in the future.

Thanks. :D
