thank you so much, people
Well... the controls works better when you use SHIFT to fire laser beam, not SPACE... cause SPACE may cancel(void?) some diagonal use of arrows...
I agree, original is better, by various factors... Every one can paint Mona Lisa after DaVinci did... John Van Ryzin is a genius, made a 4kb game in 1984 with "precary" tolls... I´m just a mortal with good modern tools .
some things... isn´t a "flashfication". I use a "oldschool" method called "tile based". For mount maps and calculate colisions... i´m not use vetorial colision detect natively in flash . And all sprites are made in gif/bmp/jpg format, never vetorial. Just to learn about "how old games was made". Google for Tonypa + Tiled based games. Awfull tutorial!
Well, the diferences betweem original H.E.R.O. and H.E.R.O.I.:
hang-in-the-air: yes... it´s a little more dificult without this "stall help", but, I want to change little things in this remake... isn´t a "ipsis litteris" remake(not a port... a port NEED to be "as original"), is a "free style version"
The bomb animations: yes, unnecessary delay, about 0.7914 seconds... less than 8/10 of a second... It´s slow gameplay a little... anoying for those who play the original a lot, in the beggining, but, as I sayd, see this version like a "free other vision of the game" ... I use this animation to break the "freneticaly speed".
Latter, I will make a English version menus and English version website, to keep highscores
And, important, in the website has a Win32 downloadable version*, about 2mb, for those who like the game. And more important, the source code are available in Creative Commons License, for those who like modify ou use to make another game.
Thanks! And sorry for my poor English (i don´t use translators, hahaha)
