I love it !

I've just updated Crystann with the new opening screen on TI-Planet, and of course I've given you credit for this :

I've made the sprites smaller.

Here is some GIF which is far from being accurate. The animation is much nicer on the calculator.

I like it Critor

, especially the animation you added. It looks more polished

Thank you! I'll download it soon.

Agreed.

Complete walkthrough of the original game in a little more than 20 minutes, if it helps :

u/Dudeman313 March 05, 2016, 07:53:04 PM

It sure does!

Thanks!

On a side note, is it me or this game reminds me of Cave Story?

u/Dudeman313 March 11, 2016, 02:23:41 PM

That depends on what Cave Story is.

EDIT
I don't know why I just noticed this now, but Crystann does not save your game
after you exit. I find this annoying sometimes, especially if I manage to get far.
Will I have to try to beat it in one play through?

A save feature would definitively be nice, unless it's there already and you missed it in the readme. But of course it depends if the lack of a save feature is part of the challenge. Some NES games, such as Ghost and Goblins, had no save feature and had limited continues. The challenge was to complete the game in one sitting, but generally, the rule of thumb in game design is to include a save option if the game takes longer than an hour to complete by an expert.
