This is wonderful. I still see that the demo is up and live, but I wonder what happened to the completed project? I think this would make an excellent XBLA Indie title or even a digital release on Steam or a freeware Indie Developer contest entry. Going to try the demo as soon as I get a free moment. Excellent work all around.

my favorite is the last with the werewolf

Good game. Will it be free or pay to play...

Thanks! Jumping control is the number one thing we're working on enhancing for the real game. I was trying to keep it oldschool, like with NES/Castlevania-style jumping (i.e. no control in the air), but lots of people have asked for more control, so we're already working on that.

My friend Patrick is coding the whole game in Flash. I'm designing all the artwork in Photoshop and making animated gifs of all the monsters' actions in ImageReady, and then I just e-mail everything to Patrick and he does the rest, with both of us exchanging hundreds of e-mails with our ideas about movement, speed, gameplay, etc.

Maaaan can't wait for the full version

I am speechless ... This is excellent. I really like the atmosphere of the game. I do agree with Imagician's C&C.

Your style fits perfectly with the game.

• The demo uses double-pixels. However, there is a "shift" of 1 single pixel in the area where the game is played. You can tell it by the one-only pixel at the left and right border and by the shift relating to the red framed interface area. I would regard this as some kind of "goof".
• The score popping up from some objects is not "double-pixeled" (not yet, I guess)
• Using X and Y for jumping/fighting feels a little annoying with a keyboard (maybe that will be configurable in the final game?)

• The clouds in the game move slower than the moon when you're walking. I think, that it should be the other way around (because the moon is farther away - it should be nearly stationary)
• The clouds should move by themselves more or less slowly in one direction with different speed (caused by the wind)
• Your sky is one-color. There should be a slight gradient (lighter at the bottom). It looks nicer, accents the mountains at the horizon some more and adds some mood.
• There should be lightning in the sky sporadically (just by putting a lighter-colored skypattern there for a fraction of a second, not by putting real lightning-bolts there. At the same time, all the foreground (that is, all the rest) should be darkened a little for the moment of the lightning for adding some realistic optical effect)
• The bottom line of the grass (where grass and soil meet) looks a little to straight to me. Maybe there should be a little more "fuzzyness".
• Some more "moody lighting" would be adorable. Maybe some "reflection" of the green-yellow moonlight at the sides of the trees (both sides, that is).
