I worked on this today, but it's too hot to work on this any longer today. If you read my blog and downloaded 042212a, there's now a 042212b to download. The Mednafen emulator speeds the music and the action up, on the VB it's the right speed. Link is in my signature. Let me know if there's any problems with the b version.

PVB member "morintari" who has been making the ant sprites for me, sent me his punching ant. So I put punching in the game. To punch, press A. You can only punch when standing still (not jumping or walking). Note that it doesn't really affect the game any (the health levels are the same and the other ant just keeps walking like he did before), but you get to see a cool animation of your ant punching. Link is in my signature.

I worked on this for a while and I'm pretty satisfied the way it works on real hardware, albeit it's a little slow. If you try it on Mednafen, it speeds the game up a little for some reason. Link to the latest ROM is in my signature. Please tell me if you see any bugs, er, glitches.

Here are some pictures of the game in action in case you don't have an emulator or a FlashBoy. Much of this artwork was done by Planet Virtual Boy forum member "Morintari."

OK, I changed some stuff. First off, I will probably be doing the art from now on. That is the biggest change. You can take a look at the redesigned Gi-Ant in the link in my signature.

Have you figured out how to add depth to the game?  I mean, 3D depth?

[atari2600land]

There should be some 3D depth in the game, but you can't see it if you're using an emulator, though.
