I, Villain. by P.T.A

made by P.T.A for LD33 (JAM)

[PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PLAYING: a few people were experiencing bugs and couldn't play the game, we've uploaded a new version with the bugs fixed here > https://www.scirra.com/arcade/action-games/i-villain-updated-1993 or click on the "Updated Version" down here. We are keeping the original link here and on scirra arcade because of the contest]

A game about a kid and his robot dog, growing up and becoming a mounstrous villain.

P.T.A's first game, probably full of bugs, we had a lot of problems right before uploading so it may be a mess.

We learned a lot on this jam, despite all the problems.

Good graphics, and nice music! I could play a few minutes but after that the screen of the game turned white and it never worked again =S. Anyways, good job!

I really liked the music and the hand drawn aesthetic :) I loved how his past was all grey and black and white and the color appears after he becomes a villain.

I lol-ed, there were bugs for sure, but I'll tell you, they made the game more enjoyable, not bad for a first entry, keep going :D

Why'd you opt out of humor? I would've rated it high, even if it wasn't intentional

@fubenalvo the kid with a dog its just the first stage the second one you are a teenager with a bigger dog and the third one you are an adult who fuse youserlf with your mechanic dog turning into a monster, the game is abou the creation of the monster, play the other levels!

I really like the concept of using the dog to attack in the first part. The game didn't make much sense, though, and collision detection was really bad. In general, it was very hard to know what you collided with and what you didn't. Also, fighting enemies was pretty glitchy, and hard to get good hits in, and pretty much impossible to avoid the projectiles.

I liked the music, and thought the dog was pretty sweet. I liked the style of the bad guys. I had a hard trouble jumping over the tall block dividers.

The state of this game was too buggy for me to rate. The screen sometimes when black, other times white, and other times I was able to run off the screen and nothing happened. I'll check back later to see if these issues are resolved.

Pretty fun idea. I did however find the second level confusing. I didn't know I was supposed to use the fire breath to break the wall. I kept jumping around trying to get on the roof of the building. Nice tune too!

Bugs are definitely not unexpected, especially for a first-time entry. One suggestion for next time, don't put the dialogue skip button on the button you want players to spam for attack. I skipped the dialogue after the first boss on accident so I missed out on that part. Also, I really liked the soundtrack, it really fit well with the gameplay.

Pretty good game, I loved the idea. The art is pretty interesting, too. I played three times though, and in the three of them I lost the ability to double jump, so i couldn't reach the key and all =(

@duskpn you can't double jump to get the key, it's a small puzzle you supposed to jump and send your dog ^^

Love the art style and transition from mono to colour. Strong character and concept. Didn't like the controls and movement so much.

Good effort for a first game. The bugs held back the fun a bit, I couldn't reliably stop the missiles with my fire breath since it spawned at the dog's feet.
