Alrighty then, it seems one weekend turned into two. Sorry but my real life has been a bit challenging and has distracted me from this little passion project. With the passing weeks I spent making this little demo, I slowly learned how to make my levels a bit more pleasing to the eye. What I did was learn to add more details to my sprites, tiles and backgrounds. Now my games look way better then they did a few months ago. I remember the original Square games. They may have looked really good to me back then but now I can see just how far I have come.

I'm just realizing that Kyle is about 5 years old

In this little demo, I am testing the basic gameplay. Here kyle has all of his basic attacks like double jumping and throwing his yoyo (now a sheild). But by pressing down, he can block incoming attacks. If you time it right you can deflect projectiles. I have also added the princesses AI. She can traverse the level more easily and can jump gaps. I hope to improve the AI to a point where you use A* pathfinding, but so far it works fine.

DEMO

X = attack

Z = jump

Down = block

Its funny how Kyle get such attention from me. It almost makes me feel sorry for his friends.
