Hi Tom.
I know Tj was philip's first game and that later he stopped using javascript
and maybe architecturally the system could've been programmed better, but
the game did a lot right, indeed I bought it in 2006 when it was a
commercial game and wasn't sorry.
Each side scrolling level was a little different, whether attacking monkies
on vines or fighting torgons, including their leader. While I wasn't as
taken with the sterrio targeting bits like tiger fight and the torgon battle
with the gun, the acting and music made them work. The only two portions I
thought were particularly off were the guess the numbers bonus game and
honey hunt where you basically just hit one button, though I did rather like
the honey hunt boss.
I also liked the fact that the difficulties other than easy really! got
hard, and usually that difficulty wasn't just about speed so much as it was
about slightly changing challenges, so a remake of tj, definitely a good
plan.
The only thing I will say is that if a new game were a remake of tj
specifically, it wouldn't be tj if it didn't use the same sounds and music,
and cut scenes. Kelly, Liam and Philip all did an amazing job.
If the remake were more a sequel, then it'd still be nice to have some of
the same elements, indeed maybe even if Philip wouldn't remake the game he
might reprise some of his acting, same goes for Kelly though I imagine Liam
is probably a bit busy these days with other matters.
Either way, good idea, because Tj was actually a pretty awesome game for
what it was.
All the best,
Dark.
