You set the bar high sir! I'm gunnin' for you though, lol. Sometimes I'm thinking I have a perfect run in the works only to find out I didn't beat my top score already for that level by like a fraction of a second, there's only so much I can do!!!
That would be great, thanks! I think it also would make screenshots look better with hidden controls or more transparent controls. I kind of suck at this game, but I am impressed that some people can post such fast times. But that is one thing that I like about the game, I can play it slow to look for everything, or I can play it fast like a racer for time. But you know what I like best about this game? The controls. Most of the time, I want to throw my ipad against the floor when I play platform games on my ipad. But this game, I actually feel the controls are almost better than having a joystick. They seem so good... I have a Platform folder on my ipad, but rarely play the platform games even though there are a lot of good games on it, due to a little frustrating controls. I put this game into the platform folder, but it doesn't seem natural going to this folder since I rarely go to it. So I might have to put it in my Action folder which I use more often since it has a lot of great titles in there. Anyway great game, highly recommended!
I don't have anything new to say about this game. It's cool, amazing and awesome, but this was already mentioned in older posts. The only thing I miss is a reward after getting every star/golden shorts, maybe a new world or a boss/really hard level.
We are honored to have made it into your Action folder! And your story of not being sure about the game, and then really enjoying it, seems to be a common theme. So hopefully more people will read posts like yours and take the plunge! But I understand considering we are a brand new developer that no one has ever heard of, and that a lot of people are skeptical about virtual (platformer) controls.
Thanks, haha. You gotta use the line ghost so that you know whether you're ahead/behind, along with the +/- for the gates - it really helps.
@JackMule, out of interest how are you getting such insanely fast times? Are you using iCade or v-controls? Props btw, some of those records probably won't be broken.
There are very precise tricks I use on some levels. In order to do some of them, you have to be get to a certain spot extremely fast otherwise they wont work. Other times, I just move extremely quick on the parts where I go up or left then right. I'm using virtual controls. Thanks. 3-2 could have 0.2 secs shaved off, but everything would have to be perfect (a hard trick was used there). Some levels in worlds 4+ could probably be beaten, as I'm pretty sure I spent the least amount of time on them. That and 3-4.
Well this game just looks brilliant, near perfect with the controls/graphics, really really love it. Its a great 'speed platformer'. Saying that ! I would love a 'traditional' Mikey Shorts platform game with the same graphics/controls but with enemies which could kill you, its not about speed running but the traditional platform type game. But a great first game, congrats
One of the best aspects about this game is looking for the golden shorts. The shorts are so cleverly hidden and disguised "off screen" adding another layer of challenge and fun to an already stellar game. TBH, I initially bought this game to show my support for fellow Touch Arcadians, but this game hits all the right notes and stands on its own merits as one of the best I've played on any platform. Great job, gents!
That is quite low for scores you have ALSO EVERYONE VOTE MIKEY SHORTS TA GAME OF WEEK NOW TOO Link to vote is on page 35 of this thread If you missed it
So this game is pretty fun, but are there seriously any platformers for ios that aren't speedruns/collection type games? Like a straight up Sonic or Mario type - reach the end platformers?
I recommend:Storm in a teacup,Jazz:Trumph's journey,Crazy Hedgy,Black Tie Adventure,Sonic CD,Supercow,Wawa land,Swordigo,Giana Sisters,Nihilumbra,Soosiz.
2D-> 1-bit ninja (it's also about speedruns and collectives, but I'd say that it's more Mario-ish than almost any other platformer in the AppStore, Super Mario Land-ish specifically) 3D-> Crazy Hedgy
