About: This is a character tester -------------------- Notes: > Fullscreen is recommended (because why not) > There are walking animations and fluid movement. (when changing direction, there is a small delay for the legs to align) > The range of Pyrocat in one direction is limited to exclude aiming almost directly above and below him. Apart from that, he has a wide range (in both directions) > Vertical movement on ground is quite jittery due to collision detections :( > Turbo mode is not recommended (you would move at light speed and jump like a jackhammer). -------------------- Changelog: > Pre-release 1 • Pyrocat can walk and aim both left and right • He can shoot fireballs unaffected by gravity • He also can jump (SFX is from SMB Superstar Saga) > Pre-release 2 • Pyrocat's range slightly increased • Added targets • Fixed improper leg rotation • Fireballs can be toggled to fall down due to gravity • Collision detection improved a bit (there is jittery motion) > Pre-release 3 • Targets added • PP meter (orange) added to prevent infinite attacking (which is too OP) • SFX from Mega Man (NES) are added: 1) Energy fill 2) Player/Enemy defeated • Flame Man's stage theme added from Mega Man 6 (NES) • Health bar added (credit to ) • Can respawn targets • Fireball renamed to FireShot, and is only affected by gravity.
