Hello Acro-bot fans!


Previously, I said I had some updates in the works, alluding to a 1.1 update. This is something I still want to do.

Right now, life has prioritized my time to other things. But in a few months I can return my focus to something like this.


The update is going to be BIG. Any part of me believes I should re-release the game as Acro-bot 2... but at the same time, It's not really a sequel...


I'll figure that out later, but in the meantime...

The update plans to be:

  • Lots of visual upgrades (more animations, backgrounds, sprite updates, etc.)
  • Customizable Controls & Gamepad support
  • 32 more levels (64 in total)
  • A simple story
  • At least 3 new bosses
  • Medals / Challenges
  • A Scoreboard for in-game completion time
  • Lots more secrets
  • At least one bonus mini-game in addition to the main game.


Which is ambitious... yet the foundation I've built can allow for a quicker turnaround. And I believe it'll be a great game!


I know some of you have said this is one of your favourite games on this site. I've had a great amount of feedback in the reviews, and I much appreciate all of the people who take the time to write praise and critique.


If any fans of the game see this, I'd love to know your thoughts. For example:

  • What it is you love/hate about the game?
  • Whats something you'd want to see in the update?
  • What do you think could improve the game?


I wanna make this game a great experience.

So if there's anything you'd hope is in this great big update, please share!


Cheers!


P.S. I still plan on releasing a Halloween game... stay tuned for that this year :)

Hello Newgrounds!


It's been just over a month since I uploaded my first game here. (and couple years since my first animation :P)


Gotta say, the reception and feedback for it has been amazing! As of now: over 8000 views!! Thanks everyone who played and commented, it really has helped iron out bugs and make me a better developer :) I had planned to come out with a big 1.1 update a little sooner. But some plans have changed, and I'm gonna delay that update.


In fact, today was the start of Ludum Dare 54 -- a lot of my friends are off to the races to makes a game about 'Limited Space' But I'm going to use this time to make a prototype of this Halloween game I've been thinking about. If it turns out good, ill commit to a polished prototype and upload it here for Halloween! If not, I'll still work on it, but delay it for some other time. I'll probably push the updates for Acro-bot if thats the case.


But I hope I can deliver this spooky and intense game this spooky month... so look out for updates on that.


Cheers!
