TURBO WADE was created out of my love for the old Nintendo Entertainment System. One night I was playing Solomon's Key & that's where the idea for this game started. The story is a simple one. You're Wade. The bad guy is Kez. He has stolen the magical diamonds that you need to collect.

Controls
--------
**Arrow Keys or Directional Pad to move**
**Shift or first button on joystick to jump**

I know what you're going to say about the trick blocks. "Why didn't you make them a different color or something?" Well this is an NES style game. With the old school toughness. Memorize it or map it out. If you remember dying on Rygar a million times 'til you beat it. This is what that's like. I'm not gonna give you a 10 level game & make it a piece of cake for you.

**UPDATE 2/14/08**
Changed the trick block appearance. Now they look slightly deformed on the top so you will know which ones they are.

I like the music and the graphics, though there's some strange bug that freezes the game in lev 1.

No installers!
Good, nice retro feel, but I really don't like the spikes that randomly come from the ground and kill you--it's not really fair, and it doesn't make me want to keep trying if I know I can die from something beyond my control.

Not bad, very much like a Nes game.

However it is a little slow for my liking.
Also it would have been nice if there was some clue as to which blocks have those spikes that shoot up when you stand on them.

very retro-like. i liked it. although as andy said, those blocks with spikes need to be somewhat different so you know which ones they are.

Hmm, does anyone else have this lvl 1 bug that Toxic Avenger was talkin about?

Heh. I know you guys love those spikes

I was just tryin to add the old school toughness NES used to have. Remember how hard those games were? I wanted it to be a challenge. Almost like a memorization of where & where not to go.

Sorry about the installer too. I didn't know you guys didn't like those. I will keep all of this in mind for the next games I make. I'll also try and get a non-installer file up too.

Thanks for the compliments!

Some graphics are weird, for example the title screen graphic only seems "semi-pixelated" while there are still some pixels in unexpected places. Some colours are also not too fitting assuming this has to act like a NES game.

Death is completely unexpected and relies on luck and remembering where traps are rather than dodging.

I wouldn't expect some things to kill me. For example, sure, the statues' fireballs kill you, but the statues themselves? Not likely.

The sound made when winning a level is kinda annoying.

Well, that's it.

lol, DaVince. Are you okay? Have a rough day at high school?

"Some graphics are weird, for example the title screen graphic only seems "semi-pixelated" while there are still some pixels in unexpected places"

Ok.

"Death is completely unexpected and relies on luck and remembering where traps are rather than dodging."

Glad you figured that out buddy, but if you would've read the description at the top pf this page you would've known that.

"I wouldn't expect some things to kill me. For example, sure, the statues' fireballs kill you, but the statues themselves? Not likely."

Are you you serious? Do you often go running into things that shoot fireballs at you? Smart. Like a moth to a flame.

"The sound made when winning a level is kinda annoying."

Getting a little picky. That's just preference.

You definitely have the NES thing down in your engine. But I think it was a bit too hard - couldn't even get past the second level. Maybe take out the fireball dude for the first 2-3 levels so people get used to the spikes?

I see what you're sayin. It was gettin too easy for me since I knew everything about the game.. so i kept makin it harder.

Oh well, live & learn. Next one will be easier.
