Thank you very much for the detailed bug report! Thanks to it, I've been able to identify the problem and I'll be releasing a patch for the demo later today Also thanks for playing the demo and liking it, despite the unfortunate bug 😅
Didn't finished the Stress Level 8 (Yea, a skill issue, gonna try to play to play on lower diff first...), but man, this game capture that Metal Slug vibes!
This is a really good game. I love the art style and the sound is just out of this world right along with the animations. This is a really good game. Cant wait for the full release.
Co-op is already included in the demo! The player 2 controls are shown in the game's boot up screen, and by default the 2nd player can insert credits with 'N' and enter the game with '2'
About the amount of stages, the goal is to make 6 of them, but it's possible that it might change in the future
I see, well its just I havent seen a single youtube video that shows a co-op two player mode where Itou and Yena both appear in the demo similar to the co-op 2 player mode in metal slug where its 2 players in a single game.
I think there is one or two gameplay videos in co-op mode on Youtube, but yeah I can understand why there's not more of them considering this is local co-op Still you can check out the demo trailer to see the co-op in action if you want 👍
Yeah, I do see the co-cop two player mode in the demo trailer though I wish someone could have submit more co-op two player mode videos on youtube, if you find some gameplay videos involving co-op mode, show us the youtube links
As a huge fan of MS: SV-001 and its prototype, I just wanted to make a game reminiscent of the series while also bringing in some different features, like the ally system, precision-based combo, etc. I'm in no way trying to one-up what Nazca/SNK did with the MS series, really it's more of a passion project that I hope fellow fans can also enjoy Though it's also just the demo, the rest of the game is being thoroughly designed to more and more branch out from the usual Metal Slug format and introduce more original features 👍
Finally tried it, very cool! Level a bit easier than regular MS which is nice, but the boss destroyed me (and my continues ahah).
Watch out for quality of life, it's hard to wrap around your head around the controls and it's only displayed on launch, also there is no apparent way to quit the game except by killing the process.
Thanks for playing it out! Glad you enjoyed it so far and I appreciate the feedback about the unorthodox controls, this is definitely something that I'll try to improve and better explain in future updates As for the quitting the game, there is an actual Exit to Windows option but you need to be on the main title screens to access it, though this is something that could be added to all pause menus in later updates too Cheers for the feedback again!
The game is incredible, visually very well done. I wish there was a version for other home console platforms, 16 and 32 bits. PC gaming doesn't appeal to me. If you think about porting to consoles, I will be happy to help a little financially.
Thanks for the kind words! I'd love to be able to retro port the game to NEO-GEO, but it is a very expensive and technically difficult process Still, we'll see how the future of the project will go 👍
I feel the same way about wanting to play games on a console versus a PC. My answer was to setup a mini PC to be used with controllers and output only to my TV. It's not a perfect solution but, it is working for me.
Feel also the same way. My answer was a getting a Steam Deck (allowed me to play all these retro games (and others lowbits, like the rpg maker scene) finally in a comfy and a 'right' way !

Steam page?
There's currently no Steam page for this game, but I do plan to one day set up one!
Nice game! I am also trying to make a game like this :)
Shoot shoot shoot.o(＊＾▽＾＊)o♪😉😉😉
It is Nice What Engine Did You Use To Make It
Thanks! I used GameMaker Studio 2 👍

Thanks for the compliment!

This was in the second phase of the fight against TA Mappello throwing pumpkins
But I loved the project, Metal Slug was part of my childhood
Thank you very much for the detailed bug report! Thanks to it, I've been able to identify the problem and I'll be releasing a patch for the demo later today

Love the Halloween update and I also love how you've given the enemies so much personality. Keep it up.
Thanks for liking the update and for your support!
Thanks!
很好的游戏，我最喜欢的游戏就是合金弹头，我喜欢它的风格和音乐
Thanks for liking the game so far!
I hope to see a native Linux version of this game, with an Appimage binary for ease-of-use and cross-distribution compatibility!.
I don't have any plans to port the game to Linux at the moment, but we'll see in the future!
Combine the aspect ratios in the next update. PLEASE…
This is something I'll be sure to look into later on 👍
Didn't finished the Stress Level 8 (Yea, a skill issue, gonna try to play to play on lower diff first...), but man, this game capture that Metal Slug vibes!
Glad you like the familiar MS vibes of the game! And thanks for playing it out, even if you didn't finish it haha
increible demo! 😊👍
Thanks for playing it!
mf this is metal snail
This is a really good game. I love the art style and the sound is just out of this world right along with the animations. This is a really good game. Cant wait for the full release.
one question when will the multi -2 player co-op mode be added in future updates?
And how many stages and levels will you add in the game?
Co-op is already included in the demo! The player 2 controls are shown in the game's boot up screen, and by default the 2nd player can insert credits with 'N' and enter the game with '2'

There is this one, and I think I might've seen another one floating on the net (maybe on Bilibili):
You're just a sexist scumbag, this all. :)
304x224@60HZ on a CRT
In Linux using Wine Proton with switchres
Wow, looks very nice on your CRT!
I also had a CRT to debug the game, but it didn't look as pristine as yours haha
Bang Olufsen MX8000
PC, Radeon R9 380 -> CRT using DVI-I to Scart with good quality shielded cables and tweaked geometry.
Aah I see, yeah I opted to use an HDMI to AV/RCA to display the game, though I might try to use a DVI-I to Scart one day
It's all well done really but what are the differences with the Metal Slug IP as it seems awfully familiar in artistic direction AND gameplay...
As a huge fan of MS: SV-001 and its prototype, I just wanted to make a game reminiscent of the series while also bringing in some different features, like the ally system, precision-based combo, etc.

Cool! Thanks for the heads up! :)
You're welcome!

But the game plays well!

This is a demo I'd like to see as a finished game. The Metal Slug vibe comes across very well and that's a good thing.
Trying to figure out to force steam deck to play this game. it's ok. i'm just happy i'm able contribute just a little bit towards art.

I also see a LOT of potential in this game.
