DARKFLAMEWOLF'S PROFILE

There is Mega Man 2 representation...just not where you think it would be... ;)

Your issues epinoz:
1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 are all limits of the game maker engine. We couldn't fix or alter those due to how Game Maker works with mp3 files and certain sizes of sprites. The gravity in Star Man's stage was changed from its original MM5 version, however the level was designed around this new gravity, so there are no unfair disadvantages.

Ver 1.2 is out! Alongside a nice collection of fixed bugs! I also altered quite a few level design aspects which should appease those players who cried foul on the unfair aspects of certain design decisions! Hopefully this plays a lot smoother!

Okay, we are looking into a ver 1.2 with some nerfed levels/areas where players felt it was too punishing/unfair. No idea when this will be done, but if you are on the edge of not playing anymore, hold out and we'll see if we can get a more tolerable version out soon.

I really should muck up a controller set up. Never was very good keyboard wise. Missed too many jumps today. <_<

Ditto. I can't hold down three keys at the same time with my keyboard which makes jumping, shooting and moving a real pain in the ass. And why isn't there an auto-fire button?

The only other thing I had to say about this game is that there seems to be an abundance of enemies being ready to attack the second they appear on screen (or waiting for me when I get halfway through a jump), or the timing for certain objects are off (disappearing tiles on the wall don't restart their cycle immediately after the last one starts disappearing, and bouncing tanoki balls don't blow up after a couple of bounces) that makes it slightly jarring for someone who grew up with Megaman and was expecting a 1:1 recreation of all the game's mechanics. Sometimes it just feels like, no matter how good you are, you have to take the hit, which is bullshit given that it should be designed that anyone with enough skill and memorization of the game's patterns should be able to fly through it without getting hit once.

Maybe I should have been a bit upfront, but this was never meant to be a 1:1 recreation. My intent was to add my own spin on both enemies and platform mechanics while keeping the core gameplay intact. Which is why some platforms or enemies behave differently than you expect. Its to switch things up a bit and force people to adapt and overcome. This is probably the biggest gripe, people were going in expecting one thing and got something else. Was anyone even watching the multitude of videos I put out before this release? They would have seen that clearly.
Regardless, after much testing and tweaking, all those enemies were placed where they are to provide challenge but its not impossible. With enough memorization and skill, I have beaten these levels without taking a hit. Some of the testers found the stages quite easy, while others needed easy mode to complete it. (So I had a wide range of testing skill) Finding that balance is always hard in a Mega Man game because every player who loves Megaman comes in with a HIGH set of expectations and you simply can't meet them all. Period.
What people also don't realize that this is a fangame. Its done by two people and for free. Its not professional and wasn't meant to be. Enjoy it for what it is.

EDIT: That and for those who have followed the games/mods I've made, they do tend to be harder than most content out there. Fans of my works can actually attest to this; I don't make them for the vast majority. This is probably the first game/mod I've made which would actually catch the eye of a much wider audience.
