I know some people don't like mockups because they're pretty much a tease, so I tried to address the issue here. Ziggy is fully playable (albeit very simple) platformer demo.

You can download it here:

Will re-visit this at some point and level up the graphics/gameplay.

I... I... I can't begin to tell you how much I love this. I had to change my pants.. I hope that can sum it up.


RPG_Boy (Level 4 Lieutenant) at 6/5/2009 7:43:34 AM

background on the top screen is awesome.

grats on the award, you deserve it


Flarfy (Level 5 Detective) at 3/25/2009 5:45:26 AM

I like this a lot. Great colors. Cool/cute style. Saw this at work... Can't wait to get home and try the demo :-)


Talon IceHawk (Level 1 Seaman) at 3/17/2009 4:53:52 PM

This is cute. I like the style.


sapphira83 (Level 3 Enforcer) at 3/17/2009 11:06:09 AM

i can definitely see this on my sister's ds or my mobile phone. i love it


Vertigo-Zero (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 3/16/2009 6:38:34 AM

up the contrast on the big demon please :P


schrumpfkopf (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/16/2009 5:52:04 AM

strange mixture of ace and average.


TomF (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/15/2009 10:25:29 AM

Thanks for the feedback, I think a full character re-design will be in order soon. It'll pain me to have to do all his animations again but it'll be for the best, since I have plans for a full game I'd rather get him right sooner than later.


DJD (Level 4 Button Man) at 3/15/2009 9:41:12 AM

agree with preceding statements about main character, he doesn't have "character" in the same sense that bubbly video game characters should. Compare him to the most similar association, Gex. Gex had a personality that we normally wouldn't expect of an animal (suave and articulate) and looked unique in the sense that the normal Gecko design contrasted the idea of the tuxedo, creating something exciting and unexpected. In the main character you have a relatively static and uninspired design, which is lessened moreso by other regular baddies that are of equal or greater originality. Try adding more unique elements to the character to give him some pizazz. Also, you really should change the angle of him, all the other characters in both mockups are tilted somewhat, and the fact that you can see his back foot from a side on view just makes him seem like he's got a short leg. Honestly I would really consider a full redesign or another idea for the character to give it some strength, but since this is clearly already in the development stage that sort of rewrite would be inappropriate. Good luck though! You prove to possess originality and talent with all the other components of the piece.



TMH (Level 5 Soldier) at 3/15/2009 8:36:43 AM

i love everythin but the main character, i think the should be on more of an angle faceing us


Exquisious (Level 1 Private) at 3/14/2009 3:16:37 PM

This is waaaaaaaaaay cool.


jamon (Level 8 Marshal) at 3/14/2009 11:44:00 AM

I just love your mockups - but for main character i agree with Wolverine

faved. ;)


Dex (Level 11 Psychopath) at 3/14/2009 10:31:11 AM

 I think the main character suffers from being less detailed than the other monsters. If you spruced him up a bit, it'd be even better! 

I really like the tiles though, but you already know you're good at them  =)


TomF (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/14/2009 6:02:54 AM

Darn seems people aren't liking the character too much, do you not like the character design? Or just the way he is pixeled. I'll have another go at him sometime.

shivudhamu - I made the game using Multimedia Fusion 2. I'd like to learn a proper language sometime but it'll take too long right now, MMF 2 allows for a speedy creation process.


.Anubis. (Level 3 Hatchet Man) at 3/13/2009 9:04:34 PM

 Amazing, character doesn't look as fun as everything else, but I'll check out the demo soon to see if he's much cooler than just his looks.


shivudhamu (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/13/2009 8:24:17 PM

Aawesome............ I have some questions for you you designed the game graphics right?

OR did you design the game and did you worked on programming part as well........... Please do let me know. 


gumol (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/13/2009 2:48:33 PM

super frog meets jazz jackrabbit 2! :D
there's only one thing I can say: awesome! :]
 


asukicco (Level 7 Ichikyu) at 3/13/2009 1:35:33 PM

Really amazing! Especially the second screen. Tiles are very smooth, not to mention that palette is brilliant! And everything is put togheter well by precise linearts and forms.


Kaiseto (Level 6 Made) at 3/13/2009 10:39:19 AM

Haha. I figured this was you when i saw it on the front page. Simply awesome. I just love your color choices.


vierbit (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/13/2009 10:31:21 AM

I love mockups!

But yeah, the main character is a bit bland compared to the rest.


AsimosVagan (Level 1 Gangster) at 3/13/2009 9:58:11 AM

 Amazing and cute graphics. Congratulations.


Dr D (Level 2 Kukyu) at 3/13/2009 3:28:44 AM

Oh and please do finish the game, I will definitely play it. All the way to the end.


Wolverine (Level 8 Brigadier General) at 3/13/2009 3:12:42 AM

Most of it looks excellent and very professional but I find the player character to be quite mediocre and bland.  He just seems outdone by the quality of everything else.


PanicBomber (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 3/13/2009 2:48:02 AM

very nice very nice!


TomF (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/13/2009 1:35:24 AM

Thanks for the comments guys. Dr D thank you for the kind words, I'm really glad you found the game fun. :)


Lollige (Level 11 Psychopath) at 3/13/2009 1:25:51 AM

Wonderful stuff, especially that demon!


Dr D (Level 2 Kukyu) at 3/13/2009 1:09:46 AM

Well I can't just play this awesome game and not leave any comments.

It was a massive pile of FUN. I enjoyed finding all the secret areas while having my eye pleased with terrific pixel art candy. The colors are so great and subtle and pleasing to the eye, and the overall design of everything was pretty amazing.

A+ work!


SaiL-ing (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/12/2009 8:51:11 PM

very cute game XD

the graphic r beautiful :3


DJD (Level 4 Button Man) at 3/12/2009 4:34:16 PM

The excellent composition, especially in the bottom screen, is comparable to the best of kirby platform levels, and they've been working that formula for some time. Congratulations on incredibly effective pixeling!


HoofFoot (Level 8 Guerrilla) at 3/12/2009 2:09:20 PM

It's so lively and beautiful! I think I'm in love.


EyeGem (Level 3 Hatchikyu) at 3/12/2009 1:20:12 PM

Excellent! =)

Desprite it is 2D game art, there are still places to show more volume!


Badassbill (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 3/12/2009 11:47:24 AM

Bottom screen is utterly fantastic.


banane4joy (Level 5 Detective) at 3/12/2009 10:57:51 AM

Amazing work!


philipptr (Level 4 Team Leader) at 3/12/2009 9:51:19 AM

I'm not sure about the blues in the background of the upper screen, but the lower scene looks awesome. great work


Shiru (Level 5 Detective) at 3/12/2009 9:12:46 AM

Looks very professional.


4tochkin (Level 1 Intern) at 3/12/2009 8:57:19 AM

Really nice stuff  


Photocopier (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 3/12/2009 8:47:12 AM

beautiful! this is a work of art!


Hamtidamti (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/12/2009 7:43:22 AM

love it :) fav'd


Nothingbutzack (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/12/2009 7:10:54 AM

Woah, so gorgeous! Well done. Fav'd ;)

 


Mathias (Level 2 Kukyu) at 3/12/2009 6:25:08 AM

You coded and pixelled this? Wow.

I love the visual style. I'd say it definitely "comes together as a cohesive whole".


TomF (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/12/2009 6:11:47 AM

Use Z or X to select since those are the default buttons, sorry my fault I should have made that clearer.


Paxjah (Level 1 Depressed) at 3/12/2009 6:08:17 AM

Fabulous Mockup, the second scene is my favourite :)

I'm using Vista, I did download the game but only the welcome screen works for me, i can flick from play to quit but the enter key doesn't do anything, nor does double click, am i missing something?
