Everyone is so hung up on Megaman! If I wanted to play Megaman I would... Being inspired by something doesn't mean you have to copy it completely. Venture Kid is great in its own right. Even better with MFI in my opinion. (for those that fumble around even with the very well implemented touch screen controls) This game is fun as hell and has a decent difficulty level, even on normal. Brings back that old NES feeling. Very good stuff!
Just go for his head, fire just after jumping, and before landing, also when I stayed at the centre I got hit more when he jumped, so I started staying slightly off centre, I found this also gave me a bit more room for error when he dropped the blue gunky stuff. I'm at the volcano now, managed to kill following bosses on first turn. The motorbike dude drove me crazy. He's been the it's difficult for me so far.
Little spoiler ahead...TA's app here If you're going down where the mumie/hourglass is, without the switch you'll only get a few orbs. But if you switch it first and go the same way, you'll find two big orbs (40 with the doubler) minimum in that secret path. If you have the patience and want to farm the max, go this way first without and then with the switch again.
Yes. You know what? **** the final boss. Sideways. The battle is too drawn out and needs a check-point or something.
Today is my day three getting to finish the last stage. And i finally beat the boss in the spaceship and suddenly stairs appeared and it's game over and "continue?" Showed up on screen. Wtf am i doing wrong? This game makes me angry, i thought finally i beat the game and it's a freakin game over!! Oh god help meeee.
Something weird just happened when I was on the hammer brothers boss, they were down to the last bar, I fired, the game sort of jerked and then my character vanished, the level continued to play, with the brothers chucking hammers at my cart, but I wasn't visible nor taking any damage ( all my hearts were greyed out) pressing fire button didn't do anything, but all the other buttons, weapon select etc worked, ended up having to quit the game and start over Managed to kill them on the next attempt. Will try list screenshot later, won't work atm.
That happened to mei has bought the 200 orb life supply and I thought that might have something to do with it. Are you sure you didn't get hit too/have low health? Would help the devs to know I'm sure.
I had the life supply too. I'm as certain as I can be that I didn't get hit or hit a spike, but it's possible, it's a fast moving boss so I can't be absolutey certain, maybe i was hit and it glitched when trying to activate the health thing, as that didn't activate and I still had it when I went back to map and started the level over.
FDG, when is the steam release happening? I am enjoying this on my phone but I know I'll really love it on my PC. Thanks!
We're working on it now, googles. It will arrive before Android version..just trying to get all the Steam things right. It's our first time
Being able to select any of the regular stages, and play in the order you like, is what I was getting at. So if you had trouble with one stage, you could still play the others, and maybe get an advantage with another stage's boss weapon. I think I'm done with this game, though. I made it to the ice level, but the instant (sometimes unavoidable) deaths during the boss battle isn't fun to me.
For farming life easily. Follow this video. In dessert you can get 3 lifes for 1 minute. This will be helpful. http://youtu.be/VzX9cp4dE7Y
Really enjoying Venture Kid - feel it's the best of it's genre on the IOS. Wishing you the best and hope a Venture Kid 2 sees the light of day!
Last time i checked GC, i was around 6th place in deaths (incl. my friends playthrough on my device, phew). Unfortunately this ranking only shows how desperateley i tried to beat the final boss. Nope, no way. At a certain point i lose my patience, concentration and all of my before farmed 30 lives. I'm done without any checkpoint IN NORMAL MODE, please. Minimum could be an option to buy hearts+ again, or let the shop be opened in this mode. Even with this option, not everbody will be able to finish the game. It is very skill demanding. And wouldn't it be nice when more people could see the end and all your efforts going into development and the final cut-scenes? Btw, they only featured 8 new games in my swiss app store, so you're still visible on the frontpage with a deserved 4.5 rating. Good news, right?
IM DONE! Im done with this game! This game makes me angry. I thought playing game on my mobile phone will give me a stress relieve. Not with this final boss. The checkpoint system is annoying. I beat the boss ship two times and i died on a spiky thing and i need to repeat the boss and it's freaking annoying. And the most annoying thing is you cant buy the energy anymore because the maximum energy bottle you can bring is only 9. Just deleted the game and i will watch the ending on youtube someday. I know this game is hard and for megaman hardcores. But on normal difficulty, i think it better be has a forgiving check point, or i can bring more than 9 energies. Or just add the easy mode which means normal mode with shop always open. Grrrrrrr! Either im stupid or the last boss is too much for me. Im totally done.
Thanks so much for your feedback everyone! We're really happy that our customers & players love the game. In Japan it's #2 Overall since quite some time now which is an additional honor considering where most high quality NES games originated back in the days As for the final boss - I'll bring it to the table. Maybe we make it an extra level so you can repeat it instantly and don't need to worry about lives.
Halleelujjahhhhh!! Praise God! Unfortunately i deleted the game just now. . Need to reinstall and play it from over again. But it was fun. The stages were fun and worth replaying.
I've just talked with the developer and we're going to do that. Final Boss = Space Fortress III. We'll also make boss 2, the biker boss, more predictable. He seems to be some kind of difficulty barrier quite early in the game.
Game is not bad, sort of like a dumbed down Swordigo/Cally's Caves with no upgradeable weapons/armor. Huge problem though: the controls. You have to hold A to jump, yet the attack button is right beside the jump button. This means if you want to long jump and shoot at the same time, you need to use your middle finger or index finger to hold down jump while your thumb presses attack, very awkward. Getting rid of the holding down button to jump higher and instead just use a double/triple jump system like most other platformers is much better.
