Hey Guys,
This is my entry for YoSniper's Fangame Contest titled... I Wanna Restore the Balance
The name of the game is a double-entendre: On the one hand, your goal is to bring balance back to the world by finding the elements and restoring them to the elemental tree or whatever. But the real idea behind the game comes from my experience with the fangame community - a lot of the really nice, polished games are too hard for a beginner like me to play! I wanted to provide a good game for beginners to sink their teeth into, and this is the result of that.
My inspiration for the game is I Wanna See the Moon - an open-world, Metroidvania-esque style game. You'll visit 5 unique stages (only two in the beta :BibleThump: ). In each beautiful stage, you'll enjoy about fifteen screens of platforming, each punctuated by an epic boss! Each boss is guarding one of the elemental crystals, which will relinquish its power to you once you restore it. The power of the crystals give the kid new abilities, for instance... a dash and a triple jump!
You'll be able to use these powers to progress to new areas within the game, and also come back to old stages later and explore new, secret areas!
Below are a couple of screenshots, just to pique your interest!
Swingin' like Tarzan

after i've beaten the dash boss there seems to be an impossible jump. am i doing something wrong?

I tried it right after it's not mediafire download(stupid *1 hour long beep of censorship* ads with spywares that overrieds the adblock there)

I'm right here now..
So far, so good. Has some tricky segments (including where I am), but graphics and such is amazing.
It looks like a forest in a fantasy world.
There was one specific spot I liked :

A trap with a hint... exactly as I like it.
There is something I need to know : is it intentional that I fell down and was away from the screen, and I didn't die?
Haegoe: that part is a little tricky, but I'll give you a hint:
don't try and jump over and around the spike, and remember not to panic, take your time ;)
vlhx: yeah, if you take a screen transition right on the corner you can get warped to some weird spots. I intend to fix it, but I'll have to redo all my room transitions (thx based Lemon for the help), so for now just don't go to the corners :Kappa:
Thanks for the feedback guys, I hope you enjoy! :atkHappy:
