Claudetastic
If you have followed AtariCrypt over the years, you might remember my mini review of Creatures. It's a platformer by WJS Design for Thalamus, with gorgeous aesthetics and incredibly sadistic baddies. This game is a lot of fun, but the push-scrolling ruined the overall experience for me. Anyhow, check out that old review before you carry on; I included a couple of videos worth watching for comparison.
So, as you've probably guessed, I've been working with my good mate Claude again. I asked him to look at a possible STe version with scrolling. Within a couple of hours, I had a playable build - which was shocking to get so quickly. Yes, there were lots of bugs, and many areas flickered and glitched, but it scrolled. A couple more builds, and presto, I had a decent port to play. So I figured I should share it with y'all.
As always, consider this a WIP and a free download. If anyone finds any bugs, please let me know...
- This first beta is now available at Atarimania.
- I'd like to thank and credit my friend Peter Putnik for his awesome hack.
- All credit for the official Creatures release goes to WJS Design and Thalamus.
- Check out the other things I have made for the Atari ST/e.
Hey, I just had to add an extra screen to the introduction :p
Weeee, let's go for a ride!
Creatures must be one of the cutest platformers there is.
Just look at all that colour. Shame it never scrolled... Until now!!
