Truth, Justice and Spandex v0.1
Evildoers, prepare yourselves! A new hero is in town, and Vigilance Valley will no longer be a putrid cesspit of crime and villany! Create your own hero in the puzzle/adventure/RPG Truth, Justice and Spandex, and battle horrible super villains like the Blizzard Wizard and Countess Conundrum. In other words: the first public version of my new game is available and I’d love to get some feedback!

Note: I’m not happy at all with the city art. I need to find an artist interested in making it look nice an’ good; if anyone has any suggestions for suitable artists I might contact, please let me know at info@karjasoft.com!
More notes:
- The game starts in full screen, but you can use the command line option “-w” to force it to windowed, or “-fl” to force it into fullscreen with the desktop resolution.
- Many non-necessary things are missing. Options, profile selection, some special effects for the super powers, and so on. Please let me know if something’s completely off – but it might be on my todo list already.
- The game will feature artifacts – weapons and armour that you can apply to your hero. But that store isn’t done yet.
- All game mechanics aren’t explained; I’m still undecided whether or not I should go into rants about how some super powers level up along with powers, and how the power levels decide the defense against similar powers. Part of me reasons “Screw it! It’s playable without such information, and I can make FAQ pages for those who do care.”

Hey,
I love the demo! The simplicity of it is still very enchanting. I found myself wondering why I couldn’t play more levels after reaching the first upgrade and I wanted to know what kinds of mini games there would be later. Will they all be of the same sort?
Also – I love demos and small stuff like this that comes with an professional install that feels “complete” – it’s soo much better than those countless open-source projects you have to untar, unzip and then build for yourself (or something along those lines).
Some more work on the graphics might be good. Also I recommend small things like graphically indicating how close I am (timewise?) to losing – e.g. seeing the piano coming closer and closer to the poor guy under it or that car coming closer and closer to the lady?
Anyways – good start, keep the versions coming!
