Universal Kid Tripp - (by Michael Burns)

You don't scare me.

 

Haha, I may have earned a bit of a rep among the TA regs for being quite competitive but more often than not I'll only put the effort in to get really good if I feel that the game deserves it. Actually, that's wrong. I have countless games that "deserve" to be played but don't. I guess some games just hit you where you live; Kid Tripp has certainly done that for me.

 

Congratulations! Kid Tripp got 4 Stars from TA front page review!

Btw, some more levels will hit on future updates?. If don't please tell me, we will see a sequel for Kid Tripp?

 

Just wanted to pop in real quick and let you all know that I've finished implementing widescreen support. Tomorrow I'll add fullscreen support on iPad. After that I just have a couple more features to add, so it's looking like the update should be ready to go next week.

@Andy_C83 That's awesome man. You're definitely the KT player to beat right now. MAD skills!

@taskerMX Thanks! You can definitely expect to see more KT in the future. At the very least I'll make a sequel, but I haven't decided on new content for this game yet.

 

46 deaths. Now to go for the no continues!

Couple of minor feature suggestions based on experience so far:
A restart button in Levels mode, for those gold medal/speed runs.
A Skip Credits option on later runthroughs.
A leaderboard that everyone who plays the game can compete on, even if they've not completed it (e.g. Total number of deaths, most coins held).

 

Just finished my first run-through with ~300 deaths, over 100 of which were on the last level. Visibility in a sea of 20 shades of orange and red is a nasty issue. Fun little romp, but not as satisfying as a full platformer. Still, nice for people who think speedrunning Mikey Shorts is too easy.

I mean, I play super crazy SMW rom hacks for fun, and going through collecting all the coins here is right up there with some of the worst Kaizos. Some of the jump timings are just brutal.

 

Made it to 4-1 with 0 deaths and then it all went kerplooey.

 

Skip credits is definitely coming, and I'll add the restart button to my todo list. (though I always thought it was easier to just commit suicide and respawn, haha)

I like the idea of a "most coins held" leaderboard. Will look into adding that too.

@Andy Haha dang, I've not been able to go that long without dying. I beat a prerelease build with only 4 lives, but I think I died once or twice in the first two worlds.

 

Anyone else noticed that if you fo to the app page for this in the TA app, it still links to the upcoming thread rather than this one? Not sure if that's also why it's not making it onto the popular new releases list?

Also: my best with no deaths so far is 3-1 but I'm coming for you, Andy!

 

This game is great! Fantastic work Mike, really nice gameplay! Do not hestiate guys, get this game.

 

Agreed.
Not only it looks great and plays great, but all the enemies and platforms have been carefully put in the exact right spots they needed to be. The level design here is completely wonderful.

Suggestions:
- Boss battles (like running bosses that go dropping obstacles or something)
- Secret areas (if you happen to go down here, you find this awesome easter egg)

 

Ah I bet that's it. If someone could fix it that would be fantastic.

Thanks Ciechan!

 

It happens quite a bit actually.

 

*GULP*

 

...that said, I may not be coming particularly quickly!

 

Widescreen and fullscreen support is finished. Still have a few things to add, but the update's coming soon.

 

GREAT!!

Can't wait!
