wwow that gameplay footage looks great, good attention to detail and movement in the environment!
The only thing that really stood out that I want to give feedback on is the jump animation (or lack of one?). I felt like the body can benefit from being kind of exaggerated squash and stretchy, to give it a feeling of momentum/weight/whatever, but overall just a bit more character in that little guy and his spacesuit.
I'm not suggesting changing the jump height and speed, maybe experiment with some animation frames getting stretched at the start to trick the eye, maybe arching his back inward and stuff when reaching the apex i dunno. Smiley 
I know it isn't exactly something you see often in the smaller character sprites, but something tells me it could go well with the look you've got right now.

Thanks everyone :D I hope the actual gameplay don't disapoint you guys... in fact, I think I should post more about the gameplay to get some feedback, well, I'll do that soon. Smiley

Well, you got a point in there. And thinking about what you said I decided to try a new animation style. Here it is:

It's not the jump animation yet but I believe that it shows the idea. Thanks a lot for the advice! Smiley

Are you getting any closer to releasing a demo we can try?
I think I can do a small tech demo, alpha or something like that soon! Coffee
But an actual almost-complete-demo is probably pointless Sad since the game is very short...

Looks like you've been working hard on the game these past few days  Grin

In one frame of the animation his radio antennae is a different colour.

Love the animation though! Lots of character.

Thanks for the feedback guys!!

Unfortunately I don't have big updates, I was thinking about this project and I'm trying to scale it down, so I can actually finish it :D I have a tendency of letting things getting out of control No No NOHand Shake Left

I got a new futuristic garden tileset (I'll post a screenshot of the new area soon) and a concept of the funky aliens that lives there.


Edit:

Thanks! I'll fix that right away!

Looks sweet. I really love the graphics, but dude, you shouldn't steal music for your trailer. Especially without mentioning that it's stolen. Huh?


Edit:
I saw the note at the end of the video. I still can't believe you were allowed to use that song.

Well, in fact, YES I have authorization to use this music in my trailer. I emailed Lain Trzaska asking him to use his music in my trailer and he gave me his permission. He is a very nice guy and very supportive.

And honestly, I'm a little offended of you saying that I stole his music, I would never do a game with any kind of art/music/code or anything that isn't mine without authorization. I believe you should ASK before start accusing people.

This looks great! Although I did really have to squint to see those little tar enemies against the dark backgrounds.

I especially like the main character sprite and the teleportation gun mechanics.

By the way, I have some new screenshots here :D
I decided to abandon construct and go to game-maker, since construct was giving me a huge headache and it was really buggy. I don't know if that was a good choice (probably not  Lips Sealed), but, anyway, let's see what happens :D And the good news is that I can port to PC and Mac!

I'm still working on the graphics and special FX in game maker, so everything is a little raw for now. Honestly I'm a little lost with the graphic effects in game maker, so if you guys have any tips, plugins or anything feel free to share :D


Right now I'm searching for a way to do a color tint over the whole screen and a vignette effect.
