Megaman Demo

        Megaman demo is a one level Megaman classic gameplay and mechanics prototype built from the ground up for the Playdate. It was created as a fun way to create a solid foundation to make a full original concept platforming game for the Playdate, which is now in active development.

Features

• Crystal man stage from Megaman 5 fully recreated from the ground up specifically for the play date
• Eight unique enemies
• One boss
• Three swappable weapons, the standard buster, crystal shot, and bubble shot (a original weapon exclusive to this demo)

How to play 

• Dpad to move
• A to jump
• B to shoot
• Down + A on the ground to  slide
• Crank in any direction to switch between weapons

Tips

• Take your time in the falling crystal section. They will always drop 2-4 crystals and then stop spawning for a short period of time, this is the ideal time to jump across!
• Bubble Shot is slow moving but powerful, and also blocks most projectiles. It can also be used as a second jump when jumped on top of
• Some enemies can only be damaged at certain times or from certain spots

Q & A

• Why crystal man stage from Megaman 5?
  Megaman 5 was the Megaman I had growing up and is by far my favourite. Crystalman stage was always my favourite level in Megaman 5 despite the difficulty of certain parts of the level.
• Will there be more levels/content in the future?
  No, instead I am working with a very talented artist to make a fully new and original game using the demos engine as a foundation.
• It’s a kinda small isn’t it?
  Yes. So I used the original sprite sizes of Megaman 5, as doubling there scale was way to big and wouldn’t fit the screen. This does result in all the characters being a bit smaller than preferred unfortunately. Any games built off this engine will have bigger characters.
