In his eagerness to discover these mythical places, he has internationalized his name to Max Stone, which sounds cooler, he has taken the old pistol that his grandfather gave him, his father's hat and the backpack he used in college to carry the books".
"Thus, with all this, its purpose is to visit the most emblematic and mysterious places, such as the Bermuda Triangle, the Megalithic Monument of Stonehenge, the Temples of Chichen Itzá, and a long etc... in order to discover those secrets and mysteries they hide.

DeleteThanks, the music is from a composer friend, Tacha, I know the SFX aren't the best, but it's a limitation of the engine.
Delete@flopping the graphics or sound effects arn't an issue at all, they are awesome. I think what Anon means is, when an action takes place such as shooting, it interrupts the sound track.
DeleteYes, I understand what anonymous means, and it is what I have mentioned, it is a limitation of the engine, every time an SFX plays, for the music, that is why in the 48K version, the SFX are different, a little longer .
DeleteClever use of colour, changing the player colour in certain maps
ReplyDeleteThe character's color change is a detail on some screens, so that it is not so monotonous, I'm glad you like it.
Deletesee loading screen, look at mural, find Manic Miner.
