Join the hero Stroll on his quest to bring down the huge bosse... Bossuse... Bossii! A whole new world awaits you in this platform action-adventure of epic proportions. Available for PC:s!     The following version of the game is complete, but may still contain some bugs. I have made the game in my prototype engine so while it's not very demanding, it requires you to have an OpenGL 1.5 - enabled Graphics Device to run, and it doesn't handle failure to render very gracefully so if it doesn't work, the renderer is probably to blame. Anyway, ATI has done a lot of work on their GL drivers the last 8 months so if it fails on a Radeon card, try updating. Version 1.0( http://ekermo.se/tmp/sotb/sotb_v1.zip )alphademo 1.1demo 1.0Video walkthrough - Don't watch this before playing, if you intend to do soControls  : Arrowkeys: Move, aim, crouch Z: Jump X: Attack A, S: Change weapon Esc: Return to menu I had some more ideas for this, but I don't think I'll have the time to add anything more. Please tell me of any suggestions you might have or bugs you find and I'll try to patch it. |

I hope it's just gonna be in the style of GBA/SNES. Memory is tight on those things (although I remember some huge bosses in Super Metroid.)
The name is pretty good. Much better than:
"What the heck is the camera angle doing?!? ZOMFG I just got crushed!?!"
..which is what I usually call that game.

FINISH THIS OR I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND FORCE YOU TO FINISH IT AT PINECONE POINT. THAT PINECONE IS AIMED AT YOUR ASS.  Good luck with that, though. |

Isn't Shadow of the Bossus the name of a level from Karoshi 2.0?

Indeed it is =) I couldn't think of a good name by using thesaurus so in order to get that extra indieness I just used a reference to a Karoshi 2.0 level.  |

OMG Screenshots! I may have used up my free time this month doing this so chances are I'll finish the first encounter, clean it up a little and maybe add some shrine you start in and the call it a day. But hopefully that'll make at least someone happy  |

Looking good. The original game is something I respected rather than enjoyed (though I did enjoy buying it for £3 in mint condition even complete with the postcards at a car boot sale then making a profit selling it on ebay for much more four weeks later after I'd had my time of it). This looks more appealing to me being 2D and pixelly Looking forward to playing it. |

Update! First encounter is finished and I would post a demo, if I didn't fear that I might not have any more time to work on this. I'll submit the game now, at least. I do hope to add some sort of shrine and level beside the fighting area, though. Also, I have plans for a couple of other encounters though since the first one took more than a full day's work to finish I'll be lucky if I have time for one of them. But enough complaining. I don't really have any new, fancy screenshots so here is an image of when I tried to find a physics bug a few days ago;  |

Really liking the sprites and tilesets here! Is that Mode 7-style rotation I see in the second screenshot at the top, too?

Thanks! ... Though I'm a programmer and no artist, really, This will probably become painfully apparent in the lack of detail. Yes, I have some rotational background emulation going on... Although I cheat a bit and don't preserve the shape of the pixels when rotating, this is why the arrows look straight even though they are very low-res and should be aliased. |

Looking pretty good. It took me a minute to figure out how to get up the colossus (and when I finally did, I realized my sword didn't work  ) I do have a couple of crits about the jumping though. Pogo jumping can be pretty damn annoying. Is there a way you could make him jump only once for every press of the jump button? Also, the player sprite seems to stick to the side of walls when I'm trying to jump up a ledge, and I can't make the jump unless I back up and clear the top completely. |
