[anonymous123452451]

AND I WANNA SEE YOU TAKE ON DOOR MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

[anonymous123452451]

hit mans theme music is cool

[MrRigrot]

Ya know there was a reason he was named rockman, (roll)

[Loboprotosolitario]

decime que esa mierda se puede editar asi la vajo

[ColorRobo]

The music is epic.

Now make it 8-bit.

[EvidLekan]

i want this megaman game

[jumpey20]

What? no milkman?

[IceNinjaShidomaru]

I downloaded your game two days ago and I wanna tell you something about it: It ROCKS! ;) Excellent job! (although Repo Man's stage wins my award as the most irritating stage >.< with its succession of alternating spikes puzzles)

As an experienced Mega Man player, the first day I defeated all Robot Masters except Hit Man and Repo Man ('cause I couldn't actually GET to them XP ...) I found Police Man to be the toughest Robot Master in this game.

Oh! And Snow Man is pretty cleverly designed ;)

[Sigma5656]

Call him Hydrant Man

[Mukyuu007]

Police Man.

Just. Wow.

[JacklProductions]

what engine did u use

[Skull0298]

@JackyJay1 When you downloaded the game it should have came with a readme note. Within the note it contains the controls etc...

[tmrevolver]

Door Man

I lost it.

[Cr4ck4lack]

wow... first i thought: omg what a lvl desing is this... after 1 minute i thought: damn its epic... watched the hole video without getting bored... what makes me think THIS IS AWSOME!!

[JackyJay1]

hello i have just got this game and i would like to know how the controls work so can you(or someone)please help me with this?

[redwolffire]

I would make the level design more in depth, or more challenging, also less tedious with the backgrounds. The boss battle was done very well though. I miss the sliding in megaman 9 and 10, good thing that was included.

[JDtheDrunk]

Gameplay for this is not very good. stages are way too long and tedious and mega mans jumping is ridiculous

[GoriNapalm]

This suck only because megaman crouch

[freeman71386]

holy fuck wow. dis awesomeness. love that crouching animation btw rofl

[ZetsubouJohnny]

WOAH WOAH WOAH, WHAT IS THAT? IS THAT SOME CROUCHING I SEE? NO! NO SIR, MEGAMAN DOES NOT CROUCH, NEVER CROUCHED, NEVER WILL! I AM NOT OK WITH THAT, NOT ONE BIT, NO SIRREE BOB.

[tgyhuj34]

It is very good,but I think "Rocman Rocks" would be a better name.

[pwndurface0824]

I like this game because the robot masters are clearly not ones that you would see in a capcom made game but the style and design more than make up for that, and still keep the core basics in the game as well. Good job :)

[taylor123ism]

Robot masters very oringinal! 

[djvreturnsxD]

awful

[taylor123ism]

@djvreturnsxD Like you could do better.

[JediLink123]

The title screen music is pretty bitchin'.

[justaguy12345]

Oh man, an LP'er named Raocow is playing through this, you should check out his playthrough because he's a pretty snazzy guy and whatnot.

[TheKenster64]

This was such an awesome game, I thank you, Eric Ruth, I had a blast the whole way through. The game was so fun, in fact, I made a whole LP of it!!!

[GameStation3]

There already was a Fire Man in the original Mega Man game, and he didn't look like a fire hydrant.

[DustInTheWind64]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! STOP CHARGING!!

[LaughHouse33343335]

you are amazing at making these games! keep up the good work!

[AdmiralBobbery123]

My only complaints are that Mega's movements are very unlike the games, which distract me from the gameplay.

Also, the graphics in Hit Mans stage look kinda ugly. but otherwise, done very nicely.

[Vegnas]

VERY enjoyable as a Mega Man game.

[pigpigpigwwf]

1UP down!

[ZelosZalis]

any one who says the controls are unplayable aren't using a controller. but that being said the controls aren't the best, but hardly unplayable.

[crackster234]

by the way there is already a fire man

[crackster234]

I LOVE, LOVE THE THEME SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shoopdacrap]

4:26 Hit Man has finally cracked from waiting in that room so long! HES MAD I TELL YA LOOK AT HIS FACE

[nypad5]

LOL U CAN DUCK! EPIC!

[Ninjazap1]

Whenever I try to play it it says an error occurred :/

[sonicfan966]

The game's good, but the control scheme is not to my liking, at least make it more comfortable, like arrow keys to move.

[BloodRoy]

Firemans Face is fucking priceless!!! LOL!!!

[GamingCakes]

I love the title music. It's so Mega Man-esque.

[ViolentTrauma]

I quite enjoyed this game and for those of you who find the controls irritating try using a game pad and using joy2key the controls become silky smooth

[RamManNo1]

The sound effects remind me of Simons Quest for some reason......

[hfbn2]

And a question, how the hell are you supposed to avoid DoorMan's flash attack?!

Its even cheaper than BrightMan's flash stopper! -_-; At least that was avoidable if you knew how it worked.

And also the game music is quite nice and the controls are bad.

[hfbn2]

This is what I think of your game.

The robotmasters are ok, but both sprites and mugshots could have been better, they look pretty bland. But what does Repo Man mean? And also why is there a fireman in your game?! He is pretty bad overall, both lookvise, sprite vise and battle wise.

But I really like the looks on some of the stages, especially DoorMan's stage. But I can see that you borrowed things from the official games for enemies and stages.

[Zeretoss]

it looks good but you drop a little too fast

[spectertv]

I am unable to play this game due to it being made on game maker.

[TayoEXE]

Why is there a Fire Man? There's already a Fire Man.

[MagicKoopaMarc]

lol DOOR MAN seriously fuckin DOOR MAN you had to be on something when you made this

[GT4WJ]

Where do i play this?

[littlebigphil]

@GT4WJ in the description

[Cookieparts]

There already was a fire man

[blasphemymaster]

This game is really freakin' good!

People complain about having "too many colors per sprite". OH NO! Me though, I think you got the art style perfectly authentic. It's the substance that makes the art, not the limitations.

The music too. Once again, 100% MegaMan and 100% awesome.

The physics aren't PERFECTLY authentic though. MegaMan doesn't take his "step" right before running. Also, he seems to be pushed off edges after barely making a jump.

BTW, WHAT INTRUMENTS WERE USED IN REASON?

[novidsfrome]

police man = fake man

[super9phil]

Is the Japanese version of this game "Rockman Megas!" ?

[Kalatos]

Have you considered working for Capcom? Because you have some real talent, my friend. I'd love to see another classic Megaman game with you at the helm.

[R0FlC0ptzerter]

hit man is a worthy opponent

[DevilSpree]

The gravity and shooting in this game looks horrendous and makes me want to have an anal evacuation.

[jeffandoenuts]

wow......

no offense but these robot masters are worse then nintendos or capcoms i mean police man i loled at repo man fire man isnt rly fire man lol if you dont like my commet you can deleat it idc but good work with the animations

[DarkOne23456]

This game broke the laws of Mega-Physics!

1) Megaman can't crouch! It just doesn't work like that!

2) You have a maximum of 4 Colors per weapon (7 if you count skin, eyes, and outlines), but the NES only allows 3 colors per moving object. The only reason Megaman could fit 5 is because Capcom shoved a magic wand in all of their cartridges.

3) NES games don't fade in/out that smoothly, they get darker by one shade every frame, using the NES color pallete. Next time, you should use it.

[ThHaloKitty]

awesome was this made in game maker? if so you sure did a good!even if you used mmf2.

[mootbooxle]

this REALLY deserves more recognition.

[Masterge77]

Excuse me, but there already is a Fireman

[mootbooxle]

@Masterge77 true, but this Fire Man is a fireman! Following suit with the others...Door Man, Police Man, etc...

[CrimesceneNostalgia]

This was simply awesome. Downloading the game right now.

[LeoFatalistaUno]

Cool game bro

[EttoKokonoe]

I'm really liking it and all but I have a big issue with the music here...

[MrSirSteffan]

Now try making a Famicon remake called Rock Man is Mega! :P

[therealwgr]

lol Police Man

[Bobownzall1]

OMG, YOU GAVE HIM THE GIFT OF CROUCHING!!!

you sir...are a genius

[Duorsa]

wasn't there a fire man in the first game?

[Duorsa]

Wasn't there a fire man in Megaman 1?

[spikeriley]

If this gets a sequel, there should be a Robot Master named Tax Man.

[Dooyon]

WTF, you can duck?!

[legendofzeldas]

Hey eric i got an idea for a game some would like to see

A "NES Resident Evil side-scroller?" maybe just throwing a idea out there

cause thoese crap NES pirate resident evil or the cancelled Game Boy version arn't enough

Your GML skills are superb

~legendofzeldas~

[robotsforever]

Sweet intro music.

[mopbrothers]

Music and Graphics are good, but the controls suck smelly goat dick.

[diegocrusius]

Megaman ducking? did I see that? oO

[Kapser1]

This is a pretty awesome megaman clone. But I think it should be called Rockman rocks :P

[guitarnoob349]

have to love how u put the names XD Door man, Anchor man, Fire man XD... hey how do i record in full screen like u man???

[mopbrothers]

wow the stage select music is actually pretty good for a non capcom made game.

[InterrobangPie]

That's got to be the best title screen music I ever heard.

[luizzeross]

Hey man, Rockman doesn't crouch. =) From all the games I've played, he only crouch on Rockman X5 and Rockman X6. Crouching made the boss easier to beat.

[etshArk87]

Wow, i'm rly impressed with that amazing Work!!! Whats about transforming Super Mario into a super 2D or 3D Game?

I loved Megaman but Super Mario is still a classic...

[EricRuthGames]

@RecklessDragoon

Was just trying something different, that's all.

[Gamemaker125487]

I have to say the game is all is the best megaman fan game I've ever played. Ontop of that, The music HIGHLY exceeded what I expected froma fan game! The only issue I ever had was some precison jumping, but the game was still Rock-Man Hard difficulty and I loved it <3

I must know, what program did you use for the music? That is if you don't mind sharing.

[EricRuthGames]

I use Reason 4 to write and compose my work. Then I usually mix with Sony Acid and master with T-Racks.

[UnManuel]

the part about "superior programming skills" is debatable

[EricRuthGames]

That was actually the joke. :)

[calegaea75432]

Review:

Controls 0/5

Music/Sounds 5/5

Enemys/Bosses 4/5

Levels 4/5

[EricRuthGames]

Controls 0/5 ? That would imply that they don't work at all. I think 2/5 is more accurate.

[juuuuuuushoury]

@EricRuthGames

No, 0 is quite accurate, seeing as how they don't work. Seriously, the way you need to hold your right hand in order to access the Shoot and Jump keys requires you keep it bent at a completely stupid angle. Why you didn't include an option screen to change keys is totally beyond me (especially since you chose such an absurdly non-standard control scheme).

[juuuuuuushoury]

@EricRuthGames

And that's not even counting the other control problems with the game. For instance, you cannot slide while running. Normally in the NES games, you can jump while holding left or right diagonally downwards and you'll go into a slide while running. In this game, you have to stop running, then quickly duck and press jump to slide. Absolutely terrible design.

[juuuuuuushoury]

@EricRuthGames

There's also the problem of Mega Man being unable to 'twitch' move, i.e., take a short step forward by tapping the move key. It's minor, but it makes a bit of a difference during some jumping sequences. I also disagree with the choice of making his jump physics act as if he's underwater or in low grav all the time. I know it was experimental, but I don't feel it succeeds.

The sound for the weapon charging is also the worst sound on the planet (especially compared to the NES's).

[juuuuuuushoury]

@EricRuthGames

I do give you credit for capturing the feel of the original series - unlike a lot of people who use game making programs (like RPG Maker and such), you've gone out of your way to make original graphics and music in addition to the originals, and have definitely captured the look of Mega Man. As far as artistically, you got everything perfectly (except for the slight FPS lagging, but that's due to the program you used and not so much your fault, so it's easily forgivable).

[juuuuuuushoury]

@EricRuthGames

Unfortunately, the gameplay itself is where the game is lacking due to issues like the ones I've named, and the gameplay is ultimately what counts in a game. Sadly, the game isn't much fun. It feels like it was made by someone who had seen a lot of Mega Man, but hadn't played much of it to know what made it great.

Sorry, but a game like RosenkreuzStilette is a much better Mega Man clone. This game has crap for controls and movement, and the bosses simply aren't a challenge. :(

[InterrobangPie]

@calegaea75432

I think he means the layout and the lack of customizability for them. Why H and U? Why?

[MMChaosVortex]

@calegaea75432

The music sounds pretty bad... It's random garbage. No way is this a 5/5.

[Sarato]

Seriously, Capcom should hire you! =D

[zdiugnliu]

can i play it somewhere?

[MajinZarak]

I just finished this game some days ago, you did a good job, Eric, the only complaints I have are about the apparent non-response of the jump button some times, and goddamn RepoMan's stage, I lost like 30 lives there with the cursed spikes...

The snow weapon was very good, in fact, it was like the Metal Blade of this game xDD, you could kill anything in one, maybe two shots with that, heh.

[Cawby]

lol, seeing megaman duck made me laugh pretty hard. Something about it just looks really funny. Again, great work, nice robot master ideas, and holy crap that disappearing block phase was long.

[Goodguy33]

I like how Door Man looks pissed off. Must have overslept when they were handing out robot master positions. Probably was gunning for the Hit Man Position. :P

[Tick386]

Isnt this against the law, or does he work for capcom?

[WarningSDE]

Anyone's allowed to make a Megaman mod, as long as you don't try to make a profit on it

[MexicanSunflower]

The music isn't all that authentic, there is a LOT of bugs, and the Robot Master's are sub-par, but overall this is an awesome fan project. Good job I guess :^)

[djnforce9]

I tried this game but there appears to be a very annoying flaw in it. It seems that very often I slide off the edge of a platform when making a jump onto it and landing close to the edge (I've played classic the MegaMan games enough to know that this should not happen). This is very apparent in the beginning of Hitman's stage at the first jump.

I've also had cases where the jump button won't respond when using it near the edge of a platform while walking.

This game has lots of potential though

[BPhoenixProductions]

Yay for unoriginal-sounding robot master names.

Still, this game looks intense. Insane.

[KeiTakaro]

Eric Ruth!

Do you think you could collaborate with this guy? w ww.youtube.c om/user/wartwartx

He has a rough draft of a Megaman project that might be possible one day

I hope to see a reply

[shadowguy38]

@JuanMamaril  you ideas suck ass

[Megas2point0]

Niiiice!

[IronPatriot2]

That was pretty awesome. That Hit Man boss battle looked pretty insane.

[JediLink123]

This game is hard, but otherwise awesome in every way. BTW music is kickass.

[TheSteakJustice]

Sorry to be so blunt, but THIS GAME IS A CHEATING BASTARD.

There needs to be a way to prevent Door Man from bringing your health down to 1 by clapping 4 times in a row.

[EricRuthGames]

There is. Try 'Anchor Swing' when he's powering up.

[TheSteakJustice]

Oh my.

[EricRuthGames]

geek-

No extras for the characters. I designed it in an earlier style where story was minimal and everything centered on gameplay.

brown-

I'm pretty much finished with this project and may add changeable controller options in a sequel.

castle-

No, but there are several fan videos on you tube that are worth watching.

Thanks for the support, guys and keep on playing!

[geekgo4]

This seems a bit empty. Does the Robot Masters at least have bios, personalities, and/or numbers?

[brownbridges]

can you make a version with easier controls?

[CastleRockDays]

this is a great game :)

are you planning on doing a full gameplay video of it?
