Great job making this work intuitively on a mobile touch screen.
HD should imply at least higher resolution graphics and updated audio, but this version seems to be just a direct remake, as far as I see. Unless I missed button that toggles graphics mode?
Nice. I didn't detect any measurable input lag - which is good because these old-school games can be tough as nails.
I briefly flipped through the docs - it seems like Kaplay shares a lot in common with PhaserJS. I'd be interested in a comparison between the two frameworks.
Mobile controls could potentially be improved by anchoring first touch position
I touch and drag right to move to the right, but I find the character sometimes starts to move to the left simply because my thumb jitters naturally, even though I'm still holding to the right of first press.
I also find it hard to anticipate if my taps are going to jump or throw a spear.
Awesome job!! I remember when HTML5 was first pushed as the replacement for flash based webapps, the input latency was always terrible and I mourned the death of Flash. I'm glad that this seems to be a mostly solved issue, most of the recent web games I've tried have felt as good as native or flash.
My inspiration at learning TurboPascal and writing my first little games was this game! How cool. Very fun to see it again! Thanks.
There's some kind of collision detection issue going on as I immediately fell through the pyramid bricks in the first level and got stuck inside them.
Games back then were brutal. I am not sure if there is a bug but I got stuck on the third level with no way to continue nor anyway to die. Just stuck.
I wonder if anyone's remade Dangerous Dave.
I've never beaten it! I'm not even sure if I've watched a video of the game being beaten.
Pretty cool, i liked the touch controls on my phone. They weren’t perfect but were intuitive.
It looks like the hitboxes are a lot tighter than the original version.
Okay, this is pretty cool.
Awesome. Can we hope for Arctic Adventure next? :-)
Loaded fast, played nicely, very cool !
Tough game. Love the atmosphere.
Controls hint! ↓
You can press R to reset the level. And L to load the latest autosave. I didn't expect game to be shared this early so there is missing info about these controls :). (Also, touch users would be out of luck in this one, sorry..)
Btw, there are just 5 levels so far (original has 60).
