NOTE: You have to lose to see the theme tie-in. Hopefully that wasn't too subtle. :)

Anyway, YOU ARE Super Agent Man. You are sworn to protect the king and his castle from bad guys by being the early warning scout.

Today there is a problem and you must warn the king fast or else!

Left and right arrows to run, space to jump, down arrow to roll, and hold a directional arrow against a wall and hit space to wall jump equal in power to the horizontal momentum you hit the wall with. Keep hitting space to jump higher.

Lose to see the theme connection.

I finished just in time! WOOT.

Also, I was going for an NES theme. I mostly used 16x16 tiles and a 16x32 character, used a screen size of 256x240, and used only the 56 colors of the NES color palette, and made some box art.

Since ImpactJS is not a free engine, I removed it from my source download. All of my code is there though.

Very, very fun! The controls were really solid, and the style was great. Good length as well.

I really like the Graphics and it was fun playing it! Funny thing: the sound of the rolling.

Very fun, now have it open in my other window to wait for the game to fail to see the theme connection!

Woot! 28 seconds to go :) This one was pretty fun, but I don't see a connection to the theme...

Fun to play and a cute twist on the theme. Some of the double jumping was a little off, but overall very satisfying controls. -Tony

Tough but not too tough. The wall jumping occasionally drove me mad. But I got through my second try. How does this fit the theme? Still, fun little platformer.

I loved the idea! Very fun and addictive. Cool!

Nice visuals, the wall jumping feels a bit random here and there, took me a while to figure out the down arrow thing too.

I especially liked visualizing the countdown with the troops moving in the background layer, nice touch.

No sound... tried Chrome and Firefox... I'm on Linux.

Wall jumping? More like wall humping.

Well done!
The control of wall jump is not so good,
but the fall break move is so cool!
The music is good, too.

I absolutely loved this game :) Rolling after a fall felt very good

Great entry and fun to play. You really captured the feel of an NES game. I like the pep talks Super Agent Man gets when he falls.

Lol, loved the twist ending! The rolling mechanic was a lot of fun.

Really nailed the NES reference, controls responsive... nicely executed!

I found the controls to be a bit frustrating... Super Mario would have made it to the king without any problems;0
