Minitroid

This is pretty freaking awesome, can't wait for a chance to play it.

OK. I have played it for a while, just to check it out. I have not been able to wall jump or run though? I am using a control pad because I cant play on keyboards.

I have never had problems doing these things in any other Metroid game? Are these abilities that you earn?

Thanks if anyone can knows, I read the read me text file but found nothing about this in it. I might try playing a bit different of reconfiguring my pad again later to see if it helps.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows.

Readme's are totally useless these days

You need the speedcore to run and walljump.

I want a virtual console version that I have to pay for now!

But seriously Tokinsom, great job, and I really would pay money to play the finished version. And good work getting mentioned on ign :awesome:

good luck

Edit: Wow, that first boss reminds me of those two pirates outside of ridley's chamber when I went through super the first time (as in, it killed me about fifteen times in a row with ease) Its amazing how you not only captured metroid's atmosphere, but its difficulty too

Holy hollering hamburgers, that music is catchy!

All in all a grand and solid project! Tight controls, stylish retro graphics, catchy music and splendid design throughout! Just D/L'd and beat it, took about 45~50 minutes. Short but definitely sweet. No clue if I found everything, by the end I had 2 Energy Tanks and 3 Missle Tanks. Overall it was relatively easy, up untill that boss, which still only took 3 tries to beat, so I'd say challenging without being punishingly difficult. By and far the best Metroid game I've played in nearly four years. NOW TAKE MY MONEY AND MAKE A FULL LENGTH METROID GAME!

Sounds like you set missile and start (pause) to the same button.

wow what a fantastic demo. Ive been waiting for a chance to play this ever since I heard about it. Youve done an amazing job.
You really did manage to capture to mood of what makes a metroid game even with a cute Samus spirte. I especially like the foggy area with that black creature running along the ground. scared me the first time. looking forward to a final product.

BTW what did the 3 last people in the credits do for the game? You guys did an amazing job.

VGM out...

The there must be something else wrong.
I did the following:
left, righ, up, down.
jump=space
run=left shift
shoot=left ctrl
missiles=left alt
start=enter
select=right shift

I cannot pause the game with enter

edit:
I changed my start button to backspace but didn't work.
when i press alt to shoot, the game freezes, until i press it again, or until i waited for 1 minute.
i also changed the missile fire to the x button, and then it works, but still i cannot set the game to pause

by **VGMStudios** » 04.05.11 11:38am

Mad Mega You can not use ALT as a button. It freezes (pauses) the game. Alt is suppose to be used for menu functions. I guess they forgot about this or didnt account for it to be used as a playable button.

VGM out...

by **Mad Mega** » 04.05.11 4:58pm

Yeps, i know now, i can finally continue the game...it is GREAT, i would love to play it on a NES or a DS, would be great if someone could port this :-)

Here's an addition to go along with that last thing you said

and I agree with the rest of your opinions as well, an amazing metroid game. I hope you're taking notes from this nintendo! Minitroid is so far definitely comparably to the best 2-d metroid games

Hey, its nomad (originally defiler) from M:FM, just wanted to say that this game looks really nice. Correct me if i am wrong, didin't you make a thread about this development on M:FM forums?

Favourited this. Can't wait to see more.

by **Lucid Flower** » 04.05.11 7:06pm

Super fun! Except I can't get past the first boss. I found a strategy that was working for me, except then it had a second form -_-;

Oh well I will try again later. It really feels like a supercharged NES game.
