This game is great! I love the custom insect sprites!

Welcome to the community!! A very cool first project! The visuals and sounds are great and it's awesome that you have touchscreen controls working as well as buttons. Really nicely done! A contender for the high score challenge, perhaps @vinicity ?

@monkeee this is... I'm speechless dude. What an achievement.. A truly epic project. The Showcase Gallery is going to be quite impressive indeed.

That was amazing, very well done!

Excellent work, and a very nicely presented video. This deserves a writeup on hackaday for real. 👍

The program is now live!
Once again, really nicely done. I was born a bit late for Game & Watch so it's awesome to get to experience them now in FUZE :) Great job!

That's super cool!

@Dave, I would like that happen as soon as possible. Not sure what the limits are but if you guys get it into the showcase gallery for the next rotation that would be awesome. Again, whatever is possible for you guys.

I managed to reach level 5-4. I like the game but I missed some soundtrack and music effects (chest opened, grunt fight or exit door founded). Really nice job here!

My update is live, I apologize, I had to change the game ID, I messed something up with the save file while working on saving the high score. Thanks @vinicity for all of your ideas for improvement, and thanks @waldron for covering pause screens in one of your videos! The new game ID is: E4Z73MND9F

Just been playing it, superb game!

This is very fun and reminds me of a game I made a while ago. In that game though you had to dodge the blocks. For anyone 2ho wants to reset the highscore, they can just uncomment lines 32, 33, and 34. Love to see how your games improve in the future!

Version 1.4 is live since last week. This version includes a new "Select Heroes" screen design and new attack animations during the battles. I've just edited the first post to show this new features. Best regards!

@retrocade_media It was a good call. I will update this version as well, since some people might download it with the ID as well. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy it!

The reason is that it was originally made for one of the Fuze game jams, and the theme that time was "One button"...

I like how the bonus countdown makes me feel anxious to hurry up and find all the typos

This one is a real puzzler!

Over in the weekly challenge thread,
@devieus said in Weekly High Score Challenge #55:

Just kinda wish I could see where I was when I'm above the top of the screen.

Yeah, that's a bit of unintended cruelty I tried to avoid... a classic case of developer blindness. You don't have to go fully above the screen, it's always avoidable, and even if you do, well, I had kind of assumed you could 'feel' approximately where you are. But of course, I had to play each level a bazillion times myself...

Anyway, I did manage to compress the saw movement code from five to three lines, stupid iteration over all the collision instances is completely unnecessary there. And two lines are enough for an offscreen indicator. I'll share the update when the challenge is over to avoid disrupting it.

Of course, I could have just redesigned the levels, but that would have been less fun and more work :) I also could have allowed the screen to scroll to keep the player visible, that would have been less code, but that would be against the single screen constraint.
