The Replica Remake

Posted 14th Jul 09, by Jon Lambert

So for the competition I have released the first complete build of Tops the Pig 2: The 2009 Remake. I'm calling it a replica remake because it's essentially the original game except for the new graphics, the new music, expanded levels, new credits and completely different final boss pattern. I'm not putting it on the downloads page just yet because of the fact that it doesn't have all of the new things I wanted to add, one of which is saving. So you'll just have to play through the whole thing at once.

The soundtrack is in this .zip file: http://www.esnips.com/doc/2ce50946-3dcc-4086-8913-f35a5835eac6/Tops-the-Pig-2-RR-New

And the fixed application is in this .zip file. Take the file found in here and use it to replace the one in the soundtrack folder.

EDIT: I found a fatal bug that makes the game impossible to complete, so I fixed it. If you've already downloaded it, download the above version to fix it.

You also can restart a level by holding Enter and pressing Spacebar.

Looks nice. And it certainly plays better than the original. But no fullscreen? It really needs that.

This is good but flawed.

1. No full-screen is a no-no in this day and age. The window is tiny on my monitor!

2. Tops didn't always shoot his fists when I pressed CTRL

3. Tops can only shoot left and right.

4. There were a few instances of colliding with an enemy and not dying at all - the dying animation played but Tops was still visible and could face left and right, and shoot at the same time. I had to restart the game a few times.

Looks good and the music rocks. Good work on the level intros and the running on four legs ability. It sadly isn't that fun to play yet though.

I didn't care about your remake not having the original's 8-direction shooting at first, but that hidden red ball is too hard to obtain now. Also, bad move on making the second level longer.

I really hope that you'll still take the time to polish it now that the compo has ended. It could be really fun if you fix all the bugs, adjust the difficulty and add some more content.

The 10th level is even longer than the second.

Anyways, I know it isn't that much fun yet but I simply hadn't the time to put in all the stuff to make it fun. Now it is unnecessary to restart the game because of Enter+Space, and the inability to shoot in 8 directions was for a secret unlockable...

The dying thing had to do with old code thingies that have been fixed. The shooting probably has to do with the animation frame reliance but I've never had that problem.

I'm still working on it though.

If you haven't already, go ahead and say No when Pantin asks for your help.
