This is a fun Retro game for memorizing great games in our childhood. I created five levels, each for one classic game, you must know them, let's use the classic tricks to break down the phantom tower.
To play it, you can use all desktop browsers, I personally tested Chrome, Safari, but with cocos2d-js, it should work also on Firefox, IE 10+, etc. I will port it to mobile browsers and mobile native platforms later.
How to:
Rule 1. Use arrow keys to move around, and tap space to use an item (if you have one)
Rule 2. Be noticed, all items can be used for only one time.
Rule 3. There are phantoms (obviously, in a phantom tower) around, don't let them touch you !
Rule 4. The goal is NOT to kill all phantoms, the goal is to find the way to break the level down, using the classic tricks.
Environment and tools:
Engine: Cocos2d-JS Editor: Brackets Audio: none Art work: Photoshop, Texture Packer Hosted on github
I got stuck on so many things. Also pressing more than one arrow key at a time would stop the character, when generally it should make the character move in the direction of the SECOND press (because sometimes I would go to change direction and I wouldn't release the first button quick enough)
hi pandamicro :) you made a great art work for this game, too bad you didn't have time to add some music.. I liked your concept, it's a great tribute to all of these retro games ;)
I like the different powerups that come up. Movement is frustrating thought, wish there was diagonal movement and higher speed since it feels quite slow and powerups disappear before I can get to them. Also it's not really clear what you have to do in each level at first.
Nice game! Diagonal movement would help this play a little more smoothly, and the player's collision with blocks seems a bit restrictive. This is a cool homage to some classics, well done!
I got to the last level, though I don't really understand how I beat the pac man one (maybe some visual clues would help?). Primarily I felt overwhelmed with phantoms, because the weapons seemed to spawn slower than them, so I was mostly just running away from big groups the whole time! Nice graphics!
Hi there. The shooting direction seemed a bit confused sometimes, just after turning would have changed player sprite but not bullet direction. Shame no sounds. Like the look, great art.
