This is a game recently completed by a friend. Due to his lack of an account here, I've taken it upon myself (with his consent) to host his game using my profile.

The game IS available for free, but it is possible to make a small donation to the creator if you're feeling generous and able to do so.








The description of the game, as found on its website:

This Action-Platformer is a fusion of 3d Hack-and-Slash style in a 2d Retro Platformer world!

After Compaz's planet is destroyed in a violent explosion, him and another member of his planet, the cautious and graceful Terra, end up stranded on a distant Moon.

In their search they encounter a varied band of characters from many worlds. They soon meet a mysterious stranger and a shadowy villain who drips with malice and jest.

Who destroyed their planet? Who is this mysterious stranger?

Destroy various evil denizens using a variety of special skills, attacks and weapons. Along with secret ones to unlock!

Already a "Let's Play"?!

User "ShigGAMING" on Youtube has decided to do a Let's Play of THING: Compaz's Quest. If you want to get a good idea of what the game's all about, then I'd suggest giving it a view:

it's great that it shows whip, you get the whip from the sun. Unfortunately you won't unlock another until you beat the ocean world's boss. Then you can use that button to cycle through your unlocked ones.
I beat the squid guy. Actually, when I beat the sun I seem to get both the whip and the shards weapon, but then when I beat the squid it removes the shard thing. I can make a short demo if you want to see. Sorry, should have specified that on my last post.

(edit)
Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8656rUUEtT0
This is the Plains map with the bees, obviously after the squid boss.
You've had, BY FAR, the worst luck of anyone who has played this game so far. Good gravy, Batman! You're like a bug magnet! Hahaha.
Is there anything I can do to avoid future things like this?

(edit) I'm not posting all my glitches; just the serious ones. I'll give a compiled list later or something.

(edit 2) Perhaps this is because I'm missing a special or using the keyboard, but the 3rd boss seems far too hard (as you also have to beat the whole stage before fighting him)
Alrighty, I have word from the creator (who hasn't been able to visit the forums lately due to various reasons): He says that he will have a new version out sometime in the near future that will feature full keyboard support and better controller functionality. He also apologizes for the issues you've been experiencing.
One more thing, I got past the Bat boss. I'm not sure what the point of him was. He just made lots of red lines, and I shot him without taking damage from anything.

In the land past the bat, Space doesn't bring up menu anymore so I have to run back to save.
Dear EdgeOfChaos,

There's been a new version uploaded on itch.io, the hosted site.

It should fix all your problems along with a variety of small fixes throughout and much better gamepad support, especially for those using ps3 controllers.

Unless you find any game breaking bugs, this will be the final update.

I hope you'll take a look, I really appreciate you taking the time to play my game. You've had incredible patience with this.

Thank you.
