Hello!
User Posted Image
I've been working on this game for some time already. The game's title is 'There Was A Caveman'.The game is a retro styled, prehistoric themed action-platformer, where you play as a caveman and have to battle giant dinosaurs and avoid other hazards. The game is greatly influenced by such classics as Castlevania, Ghouls'n'Ghosts or Shovel knight.Story - The world has been overrun by dinosaurs. The last living caveman, is left alone in his cave, with every other living thing he knew dead. But he does not want to give up the world to these ferocious beasts. So with what little hope he has left, he will venture out of his caves, to find the only thing, that could save the world as he knows it - A female specimen to rebuild the cavemen civilization. But doing that won't be easy as the world is full of these dangerous creatures and other deadly hazards!

Your music and art style are amazing! That background with the trees looks amazing! Good luck with this!

I like it. It has a kind of a MegaMan + Streets of Rage feel to it.

I'm curious, do you gain abilities in your quest, or are all the special moves objects you find?

Thank you guys! :)
Im still thinking of how the abilities will be discovered. Maybe they will just be there from the start, maybe you learn them over the course of game.

Maybe you could pull a Mega Man X and have them as physical "powerups" located in hard-to-reach areas (like the capsules in Mega Man X ).

...still trying to wrap my head around where a caveman gets the ability to jet dash and double-jump though...
