The game itself is a mix of various genres. I’d say the strongest influence is Mega Man for various reasons. First of all, the game is non-linear in the sense that the players have to clear any of the eight stages available in the stage in the order they desire. There is a final ninth level which will become available once the main eight stages have been cleared. Another strong influence for the game is bionic commando. Pan, the main character of the game, is equipped with a power chord which he can use as a grapple. Pan can use the grapple to swing himself from one area to another. Yet another influence is Castlevania. Pan can use his power chord as a whip to fight his enemies. It is also possible to collect BNA ( Breadeoxyribonucleic acid ) capsules to improve Pan’s abilities or acquire new ones.
This is Greg's second recorded video which shows the latest improvement in the actual code. You'll notice quite a bit of progress compared to the first video.
