Quite a nice action game, its like a mix between Turrican and Strider - its also quite hard and you can die easily.

I really dont like the art style in this game, if you compare it to something like Strider it just sucks. Having said that this is a goodgame and hes more athletic than strider in many ways. I just wish the graphics had been drawn a bit better. Nice execution though...

@TheHaydndalton Yeah definitely there are opportunities but times have changed. Everything is now 3D and back in the days it was only 2D. For me working with 3D seems very challenging. How do you see it since you have worked with both areas?

[TheHaydndalton]

@yasswah It's great that there's so many tools for wannabe game creators now. There's still lots of opportunity out there :)

@TheHaydndalton Something I've always wanted for myself. Design games and play them myself. I was very much inspired with games like Project-X, Jaguagr XJ220, Mortal Kombat, just to name a few . I started working on C-64 Basic language and after buying an Amiga I jumped to Easy AMOS then AMOS Professional and even tried Blitz Basic 2. Did some basic graphics, animation and coding to make my own mini games. Well that was my dream then but now I work at a school.

@yasswah I was essentially the lead artist/designer on Assassin, as I was co-founder of the company (Psionic Systems) that created it. I've always been interested in the design aspect of development though, as I want to create games I'd want to play ;)

[yasswah]

@TheHaydndalton Amazing. So you started off as a graphic artist and now word as a Lead. Had that always been your goal say 20 years back?

[TheHaydndalton]

@yasswah Yes it is, and thank you for the kind words!

I'm still developing games, it's all I've ever done. I'm the lead designer on Darksiders 2 (THQ), I was also the Lead on Darksiders :) The last game I was involved with graphics-wise, was Mortal Kombat III on the Gamegear.

@TheHaydndalton Wow! It really is you. Wonderful work. What do you do now?

[TheHaydndalton]

Wow, I remember doing the graphics and design for this game many moons ago. I still have a soft spot for this one. Thanks for all the great responses to it.
