Kensuo Port (Tovi's Worklog)
Kensuo for Fenix 
Level Smashing Fun!
I finally completed the 1st world subboss... And when I say completed, I mean, you can kill it, and it can kill you, but it's a little glitchy, and needs more polish.
The whole point of the boss is that is can smash up the level. I'll demonstrate what I mean:
Boss begins:
2 minutes later:
It's the kind of boss that's really hard at first, but really easy once you get the hang of it.
To me, this boss is absolutely no challenge, but then again, I programmed him... I'm still thinking about making him a bit harder.

Absolutely no challenge hm? I see you lost a whole life in those 2 minutes. 
But looks nice. Is that the default resolution or can we expect something bigger?

I suspect that to be because Tovi had to wait for the boss to damage the level enough to be worth a screenshot?
Anyway it looks verry nice!

That is indeed the resolution the game will run at, but the actual game runs in full screen.
And I only lost an entire life because the boss killed me while I was saving the screenshot in paint :p

Thanks. I was hoping I'd get it ready by today, but that clearly didn't happen. It needs another boss, music, sound, extra levels, polish... I'll see how it goes.

Yes, take all our suggestions into account. Or die.

Don't pretend like I've never read that...
Your demands are crazy! Crazy!
I made the game a bit easier, but I'm not going to redesign the main character right now. It took me too long to even draw him the way he is (remember I'm not a graphics artist) and I don't want to bother with him again, until I'm done with the entire game.
And the jerky jumping is gonna stay too. I tried to change that, but it led to glitchy, slowed down gameplay. It did look alot more smooth, but it wasn't worth it, because you'd be sacrificing in gameplay.
