I fell asleep a lot.. and that one hat on level 2 is ridiculously hard to get. It's loads of fun, excellent music/sfx, and awesome graphics. Very well done!

I'd give some if .NET and XNA were available for wine (or are they? if so linky please =P)

Try to google Mono Framework, Sir!

Really nice job, especially in the time frame. I love the sound effects, the gameplay is extremely fluid and the graphic style is beautiful. Great work, its almost a shame that it's done because i really enjoyed following the progress of this project.

Luckily for you, my artist talked me into adding more content and polishing this up to release it on Xbox Live Indie Games. I can't get myself to look at code for awhile, so it probably won't be out for awhile. :P

I knew it could run C#, but can it do XNA?

So apparently this game is awful. I'm getting terrible reviews on the message board this competition is for, saying there's no clear objective and they don't know what to do. It's weird, because I placed 2nd out of 40 from the judges, now its getting torn apart by regular players.

Maybe add some really simple tutorial levels. I honestly don't think this is awful and grats for getting the second place

What a load of shit, don't worry about them they prob have no idea what goes into a game. Worry about us, we know what we're talking about lol. I played the game and I loved it. It's especially impressive considering the time it took to develop.

agreed. I haven't played it but it looks awesome. It may not be commercial-quality per se, but for smaller games like this, you want to look to fellow game developers for real critique. They understand how easy/difficult each thing is to do, and they'll appreciate them much more.

Lmao. I would love to watch those guys try to play through a level of Mega Man.
