I have been working a lot on polishing things up, and testing the rom. The demo is complete and playable, aside from me obsessively tweaking.
I will put a rom up today so you can play it in a more enjoyable fashion.
I'm still trying to get rid of some minor slow down, polish/add more sound effects, possibly more music. It's taken me longer than I'd hoped to finish the demo, but having things in the polished state they are will make finishing the full game much easier.
Thanks so much for checking in, and please give me some feedback once you test the rom. Rom runs great in the "sameboy" emulator and retroarch on my miyoo mini plus. Haven't tested on my gbc hardware yet.
Yeah I like the overall movement and combat. Would be nice to duck and fire but probably unnecessary. Just feels like a missing element, but not essential to the gameplay. Jetpack momentum feels great. Characters look good. Great start!
Thanks very much for the feedback, and checking out the demo! I did tool around with crouching as I agree it feels like you should be able to. There's a plugin that can change the collision box of the characters sprite sheet to pull it off, but I decided to pass as plugins can sometimes cause issues when new updates come for gb studio.
I'm already pushing the DMG to the limit on object and projectiles as is so the crouch shoot may force me to simplify things even more.
At the end I chose animations and blood spatter over the ability to crouch shoot

hi any updates on development or releasing demo rom to play on emulator/hardware?

Thanks very much! I'll have the rom up soon, I'm almost finished with the demo.

You should make the ROM file available to download if you can so people can test play on original hardware.
I like the game feel. The jet pack jump is unique and fun. Nice work!
Thanks a lot, I am going to put the demo rom up on my page once I finish it. Will be up before the new year sir.
This is off to a great start! Music, art, atmosphere all fit well. Gameplay is intuitive and controls feel good.
Thanks very much. Keep checking in as I'm updating the demo regularly while I finish it!
