If itch has a problem with spam, why block legit users? Sounds like a problem of itch to me. Anyway I will wait a while and if this doesn't change I will delete my account here.

My "...recent account activity."? There is none! I only post covers here. I didn't post anything offensive. Please clarify what the issue is here? I mean come on, this is ridiculous I post covers & reply sometimes, that's it. Why would you block me for that?
PS: I sent a mail to itch support, this is a bad joke. Unblock my account or tell me what's up. I might delete my account if this keeps up. Censorship is a no-go.
Aaaw, man... :/ I was awaiting the third part but after trying it out for a bit I'm sadly disappointed. No idea what happened here, but part 3 lacks all the bling the previous 2 parts had.
Without the cool flashing effects it's just not the same, it's what made it stand out. Remove that and you have just an average invaders game.
8.5/10 game, great zorro vibes.
edit: this is not official artwork nor is it "AI". I used a 2020 movie cover for this (I always use stuff on the web as I see fit, so nothing's "stolen" like this guy below claims) to make some fan cover out of it. I didn't like the original artwork so I decided on something better. All covers I post from time to time get deleted after 2 weeks, after that they are only available in my collection on my itch page https://reflex64.itch.io/
2 TygerKlawz (Who is apparently stalking me now): As this is all fan art, nothing's stolen so get your head out of your ass before posting shit, thx.
I'll remove the Icon logo since it's not a game from them it seems (sometimes things stay in my templates, blame my workflow huh), so yeah.
Whoah. You misunderstand me completely. It is NOT crap, in fact it is IMPRESSIVE. It's just that I am not a fan of this 3D stuff on the C64, this has nothing to do with you or your game, the problem I have with 3D is in fact on MY side. Your game is GOOD, it's just that I am not happy with 3D games on the C64 that is my problem. Has nothing to do with your game!
Your game is not in my crap category otherwise I wouldn't have posted a comment here at all ok? I just had it with people constantly bitching about my comments, that's the reason for the harsh reply. Has nothing to do with your game at all.
Ok, this is the last time I am going to repeat myself: I am fed up with people lambasting me over my comments. To those people I say, learn the difference between negativity and constructive criticism because you clearly don't know. I said I am not a fan of 3D on the C64 and would prefer to not have these, and that was it - that does not mean I don't like this game! Now this was the last time I edit this post, yeeeeezus.
You wanted an opinion, that was mine. It's not my job, however to help you make your game and you won't ever see me touch the cancer that is Discord. I stick with my 3 main points tho: 1. Title of the game (change it) 2. No Sound FX (add it) and 3. The gameplay itself (change/tweak it). I've been playing games for over 40 years now and I can tell what works and what doesn't and here a lot simply doesn't. That's all I got for ya, so good luck with your game.
I tried to play the latest beta a bit but couldn't get into it. The game play is very tedious.
1) Few critic points: Timers. Timers suck. Never use timers. Everybody hates timers. 2) Gameplay loop: Very tedious, climbing up, falling down, rinse repeat. Bleh. Done it a 100x times. 3) Music: repetitive and not needed, could use sound effects instead because without sound effects it's even less of a game. Music is not needed at all imho or maybe just on one channel.
That's what I would have changed immediately as well as the name/hero of the game, which is lame. Well, it's not all sunshine and roses with this one. 5.5/10 game, maybe...?
On the plus side, the coding and graphics seem nice, but the game play itself doesn't keep up with it. Well, that's my take on this game.
Yes, it's a historic title so people expect it too look the part. Surprising so many people wanted this, I would have easily picked something else but it's all good, I made a cover for it as well, it's a nice classic after all.
Update: I just found out you made a H.E.R.O. 2 version for PC which already has better graphics, which is quite cool. Maybe that version is coming to C64 too one day... :)
Well, regarding the game... I always thought the graphics were crap, even back in the day lol, so.. it's not really my thing, never played it more than once or twice, I was more of a Bubble Bobble, Green Beret, Midnight Resistance & IK+ player.
As for the game, I rate it 6.5/10 at best, an average yet quite ugly console romp (man, those graphics are ruff... I'm too spoiled by new titles like Puzzle Bobble, SNK vs CAPCOM, Pig's Quest, etc. I'm a graphics guy, so a game must look good to me and this game simply doesn't.)
Underland? Huh. no idea what that is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ?
Ah come on, 5 weeks, 5 months, time doesn't matter in the C64 realm!
Maybe one day you will try and if so I will play it when it's finished. After all, if we don't do the work, who will? No one does it for us.
Sometimes I wish it were so, but sometimes it's just that, tedious work :)
Anyway thanks for listening.
Keyboard is not the issue here, I play with keyboard too. The issue is the controls.
Compare the controls with "Super Mario" from ZeroPaige. Those controls use the correct control scheme as established by Nintendo long ago - You press fire, Mario jumps, you steer left or right in mid air, Mario moves left or right mid air.
Classic correct control scheme. This game? Nah. Make a proper control scheme and I'd love to play it :)
This little thing? Oh I make these myself. Well, as in "I take some nice graphics someone made and make a cover sheet out of it". You can download all of these covers from my itch page, reflex64.itch.io (shamless self-advert).
No, it actually works. I found out that the jump mechanic is *really* bad tho - let me explain:
I expect the character to jump when you press the fire button, but he only jumps when you also press left or right - now that's a bad control scheme, totally imprecise. You constantly fall to your death because of that.
Overall cute game, but the control scheme is kabonkers, a good game brought down by bad controls :(
