Description
So, since my last little foray into Flash with the sprite game collected way more comments than any of my drawings and continues still to this day, I thought I'd show a little of the other Flash things I've been working on. This here is something I started quite a while ago.I had decided that I was miffed that pretty much all the popular flash action games on Newgrounds have only "okay" controls (clunky and slow to respond but usable) and action that feels quite slow and unsatisfying. And always ALWAYS they put the movement buttons on the RIGHT with the action buttons on the LEFT, spitting in the face of all normal PC games and console games alike which do the exact opposite. ...So yeah, I made this thing.
At the moment it's 100% placeholder graphics. It always seems to be doing the hundreds upon hundreds of character drawings and animations that are my weakness.
I hope one day to carry out one or more of the ideas I have for this: I could continue in this direction to make a fast-paced platformer or tone it down quite a bit to make a fighting game. A thought occurs: this would also also make a righteous SSB clone. Ultimately, I've always wanted to do a fighting game with Az as a fighter and get permission from some of the other artists on this site that I know/admire to use their characters and continue to churn out new fighters every once in a while. ...Yeah, that'd be cool.
CONTROLS:
A or D | Run
S | Duck
S+A or S+D | Crawl
K | Jump
J | Attack
U or O | Change weapons
P | Pause
P.S. Speaking of the sprite game, I'll be uploading some progress shots of it in my journal tomorrow, if you're into that kind of thing.
P.P.S. Running Flash games in an internet browser always seems to slow them down. If you absolutely have to see it full speed you can save it to your hard drive.

Nice, this looks pretty good, defiantly very smooth and has a good flow for movement.
I would defiantly be interested to see how this game idea works outs.

I always like a good game engine and this is a very awesome sidescroller engine. With how good the placeholder stuff looks already with the blur and such, I can't wait to see how real graphics will look in this thing
I can see how you really nailed the character movement, and the different controls are a nice touch.
A really good suggestion I can think of is to put in key remapping. It's a pet peeve of mine that except for the PC FPS crowd you hardly ever see the option of custom keys.

Awesome, WASD controls in a flash game. Oh you amaze me with your boundless knowledge of flash animation, 's all a book with seven seals to me ;^;
