Here are a couple of demo screen shots of what the game will look like with its new character set.

The snap shot movie would be awesome Would you mind making one of the final product after I've finished the game?

Sure thing. I still haven't beaten it though. I get really far conserving my flame thrower, then get complacent toward then end and don't use it when I really need to start being careful, which leads to me getting murdered...

Looks great! I like the little scene in the top right.

Redefined characters really add a lot to the game feel!

Here is the final test vesrsion exit plan z beta. It require 16k expansion to run and a joy stick to play.

The game is now fully functional and now just needs to be tested for bugs, difficulty and typos.

I have added in some small animations, an attack level meter and gameplay now gains speed as you progress from level to level.

Awesome! I'll give it a thorough whirl after the weekend.

I've had a little time now to do a little test playing of my own. It seems a little to easy, it may be that I've already played it a lot while testing it's development as I was writing it but I beat it on relatively difficult with no struggle. I feel that by level 10 the average player should be struggling to stay alive. I think I need to speed up the battle system a little more and I need to reduce the rate of items dropped by the zs. I may also decide to speed up overall gameplay just a hair.

Here are some new screen shots.

Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, I've been a bit under the weather.

The game looks great, but the responsiveness of the movement controls has taken a big hit. Is there anything you can do to improve it. In the third release it was very playable, but now it's kinda of annoying. Sorry, I guess you spoiled me with the third version.

Keep at it!

I will probably go for a set movement speed. I ad it set to speed up movement for each level. The game has turned out difficult enough to not need it. I got greedy after compiling and this feature has proved unnecessary. When it's slow it's annoying and when it's fast it's impossible. A nice happy medium set speed should do the trick.

Thank you.

Here is what will most likely be the final version.

After a few tries, I managed to get 3809 on relatively difficult. All the improvements you made are great. My only compliant is the controls still. Sometimes I move twice when I meant to move just once. Sometimes I want to pick something up and the fire button doesn't respond the first time. Other then that though, you did a great job!

[R'zo]

I have completed the final version. I edited the top post to include the download links.

Thanks to everyone for all the support
