Way back in 2016 I announced Saul Cross and Wanax's arcade platformer of ' Platman ', A game that I was sure would be a winner in the RGCD C64 16KB Cartridge Game Development Competition 2015/16. Well fast forward to today however, and this lovely homebrew from Wanax and team, has been re-released and updated as Platman MC. An enhanced and multi-colour version of a game that is a real treat to play on your Commodore 64.
Here's the latest from the creator. "The object of the game is to Collect the Items on the screen, which are mainly a range of Fruits, and some screens include a Key, which is needed to progress onwards, there are also some Pulsating Power Pills on some screens, which when eaten, will allow you to eat and kill the ghosts on the same screen within a set time limit. There are also Various Traps, Pits, and Cannons which shoot bullets out at a constant rate, which can hurt Platman if he comes into contact with them! "

I liked the hires version much better, don't see why it needed updating that one was very colorful already.
ReplyDeletewhat is the difference between this and Platman Worlds?
ReplyDeleteI think Platman Worlds was a physical release of Platman? I think those 2 games look identical. Platman MC has different graphics though, I think the gameplay is the same.
