[center][size=200][b]Toad and the Ancient Keys[/b][/size] [img]http://i.imgur.com/wxJfNIp.png[/img][/center] [size=150][b]What is it?[/b][/size] Toad and the Ancient Keys was my entry for the first Super Competition of 2016. It's a sort of small metroidvania adventure. You play as an unnamed toad as he attempts to circumvent a temple's defenses in search of a precious treasure. To do this, he must search the temple for three colored keys. However, the keys are [i]also[/i] heavily guarded, so it may not be as easy as he thought... [size=150][b]What are your plans for it?[/b][/size] As I already have 2 (yes, two) projects in the works, I doubt I'll be expanding much on this. However, I have the full intent to release a touched up version to the mainsite. If you have any bugs or feature suggestions, please do reply with them. [size=150][b]Where can I download it?[/b][/size] [b][url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/piwvfuj71m5gt23/AncientKeys.zip?dl=0][Dropbox][/url] [url=http://www.mediafire.com/download/bdj2trq6dvu48gd/AncientKeys.zip][MediaFire][/url][/b]

I see some great potential with this; can't wait until you do a "full version" for the main website itself. I do have to say this: the "messages" displayed when you get a major item, time wise, are too short (as in, it disappears too soon as I'm reading it). Is there a way you can make the timespan for those said messages somewhat longer (but not too long, of course, to interfere with gameplay)? Note, the "Checkpoint" message is okay; the "appearance time" for that doesn't need to be changed there.

I dunno, I don't really like how you mixed Zelda 2 graphics with a SMB2 graphics, but this looks promising. Anyway, it's not like Zelda 2 graphics is really used to often in the first place.

Well I just played the game, and I really enjoyed it! :D The graphics are nice considering they're from Zelda II. The music is also pretty catchy. The puzzles and platforming aren't too difficult as well. This is a really great game hope to see more like this! ^^

At least, seems to be the case for me.
