A little back story: This game was bought for me by my parents back in the day. They weren't rich by any means, so I was just happy to get a game. And then, it turned out to be this stinker. I could never play it for very long, since it was just so craptacular. This always left me feeling guilty that my parents had spent hard earned money to buy me a little happiness, and here it was, boring, irritating, and foolish. For example: In this time attack, I never jump spikes. Why? Being stopping by damage requires 3 frames. Any jump takes 7 frames from button press to when the player starts moving again. Whenever you take damage, you are pushed in the direction the damage is coming from. While Jumping takes 7 frames, most enemies take multiple shots to kill, and taking a shot takes FOREVER. Therefore, most enemies are jumped, but then the damage taken pushes me forward a few quicker steps. Makes the run look sloppy in my opinion. I decided to post my WIP, since I have to start over. Main question: Is it worth TASing this game? The final video is estimated to be just under 15 minutes. But, it is a boring, repetitive 15 minutes. The only glitch I found is that L+R = moonwalking, which is used to make the video slightly more enjoyable. The biggest problem is when I go for the laser. While the strongest weapon in the game, it is absolutely useless against the only enemies I kill, the bosses. All of them fly or lean forward, which means they get hit by the fireball first anyway, making the laser part of the weapon Extremely useless. Comments are appreciated. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/5584/MAINDK_Dynowarz.fcm
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

Ha. Moonwalking. Aside from being broken and ridiculously poor, it isn't entirely boring. Not sure if I would give a yes-vote if the movie were polished, but it's possible.

That was a sad story. I remember when I was little, I didn't know there was such a thing as a bad game. I knew some were better than others but I'd never believe there was a bad one.

And here I thought I was the only person on the planet to own this crappy game. The run seemed well played, but the gameplay is a bit repetitive. I don't see a game like this being published, but it might be worth a shot anyway. I will probably vote yes if the run is short enough.
They're off to find the hero of the day...
