Croc2D [Playable demo]

[stegriff]

Hurrah!

I have finally built a Croc2D which is playable!
It has a few glitches, and not all the intended features, but I'm glad it's in a playable state.

The demo map is tiny; I'm exhausted from getting this to work, but thankfully, there is a very simple framework for expaning the map


Glitches:
Walking on lava is safe after initially draining you of crystals.
Collisions are off.
Collisions with dantini are especially off.
Crystals may be trapped in scenery.
Too easy to Tail a dantini.
Tail animation doesn't show while jumping/falling.

Missing features:
Double jump
Stamp
Climb


Screens:

*breaths in awesomeness* What you have there is a very good start! And congrats, man! This is the second Croc fan game ever! (as far as I know) By the way, is there supposed to be sound? J'ecoute rien.

Anyway, I highly recommend that you don't give this a story. Honestly, all fan game stories stink, so don't even try... I prefer to just jump in... Speaking of which, if you make it longer, I'd very much appreciate a save feature. ;D

Dude, what are you talking about? It's almost impossible to kill them! I would actually suggest that you scrap the tail attack and kill them by jumping on them Mario style! Much better for a 2D game.

Oh, also you can probably use music from here: www.vgmusic.com/music/console/sony/ps1/index-af.html
Scroll down to the "Croc: Legend of the Gobbos" section. (That is, if you want to add music at all.)
