great game,
very reminiscent of commander keen and crystal caves

I have to say I don't remember ever playing Commander Keen, but this game is awesome. Though, it's extremely short. I beat it in under 30 minutes (minus the castle just below the first level; can't seem to get by one of the platforms.)

The last level and the level with like 20 tomato-dropping bats flying overhead are my favorites.

You guys should make a sequel!

The level previous unbeatable (mentioned my P16) has now been fixed. Sorry about that!

The game was really fun and addictive. I'll admit having to play a LITTLE longer than Programmer16 to beat it though . The one level ( that you access on the middle left of the main map? ) seemed unbeatable for a while. Jumping down blindly you'd get hit by that rolling blue smiley face every time!

Very good creativity and great levels! The million tomatoes falling from the sky level was a riot! It helped to go up and left and get the three extra guys about 10 times... it gave me enough lives to beat the game.

    Some constructive crits:

  • The major pause before he jumps is a little awkward... though once used to it, it wasn't so bad.

  • The piñata and kid with the stick was funny, but very easy to defeat.

  • Is there a reason why the score resets on every level?



That's about it.

Well done!

A very late reply on my behalf, if you'll excuse me.

I've heard that comment a lot. If I ever make a sequel, that will definitely be changed.

The Pinata+Alien enemy was really just a joke. They can't even hurt you.

That would be a bug. I'll be sure to fix that, doh.

Three years later and I still love it. It was a pleasure to make.

As soon as I saw it here on gamedev, I downloaded it and I enjoy it a lot!
It just gives me a warm feeling about old times. Thanks for bringing that kind of game to us :)

Ok, there is something:
-After the first level, sound turned off and I couldn't hear a thing. Everything that I've heared was the sound at the exit doors. That's all

Update: The problem with sound seems to happen every time you finish one of the levels. I saved that game after first map, quit the game, loaded and went into next map -> Sound and music were perfect. But as soon as I finished that map, sound didn't work
