Hi Andrew, You know what - that is very nice!!! I'm not usually a fan of platformers - but you've created a little beauty there! Love the graphics. Love the arcade-type touches in there too - especially the side-swipe CLS. That little touch alone is very retro! It's something you used to see all the time back in the early days of the '80s arcades. I love things like that!
I even like the music! The little ditty used on the cut-scene is great - again, it gives it a very retro feel. If that's your first game in assembler then I'm looking forward to your second!! If I had one criticism it would be that the collision detection is a bit off at times. But accurate collision detection can be a PITA to be honest. That's perhaps a task to address in your next game? For now - I love it, even though it's bloody hard!! But then I'm generally pretty useless when it comes to playing games! :-) Regards, Chris.
