A downloadable game for Windows

This is a remake of the first game I ever made, a fan game of the 8-Bit Theatre webcomic. I only made two levels and a boss before stopping (after nearly two years), and for #RemakeJam I remade those two levels using my C++ framework as opposed to Game Maker 8.

Unfortunately, time really wasn't really on my side. I could only work on this during my evenings and lunch breaks. If I had more time I bet I could add more and make it nicer, but I'm not too bothered. Doing this jam was a great trip down memory lane!

Game - Developed by Me

Sprites - Final Fantasy NES Sprite Sheets (as well as backgrounds from the original)

Install instructions

Running the Remake should be as simple as going to the Remake folder and running Game.exe. Only possible prerequisites are Visual C++ 2013 Runtime and OpenAL.

You can either run the original game from 2011/12 either by going to the original folder and running Original.exe. You can also run the game from inside the Remake by selecting it in the menu. For Windows 10 I got a prompt saying the build needs DirectPlay (I presume because it's a GM8 game), however you can skip the install prompt and the game should run fine.
