A Koopa's Revenge Version 2.0 Released

The long delayed update to A Koopa's Revenge 2 is finally here:

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/646067

The update includes: improved player control, better balanced powerups with new abilities, new skins for the bosses, new medals, a bunch of bug fixes, lots of new graphics, and more.

It's been exactly three years since the game came out. I made a lot of compromises to get the game finished back then, and this update seeks to bring the game closer to my initial vision. I didn't get everything in that I wanted, but I think the game is mechanically where it needs to be (minus any new bugs) and I'm proud of it. There will be a 2.1 update to fix any bugs that need testing, make some more graphical changes, and add an in-game medals display. That probably won't be out for a while though. I'm all koopa'd out and I need a break, unless I need to do a hotfix.

I want to thank all the v2.0 beta testers, and even the people who just said one thing and then buggered off. Every bit helps. Special thanks to AmericaCaptitan, TelFy, and supersonic6411 for being such dedicated testers. Sorry if I got short with anybody these last few days, it's been kinda stressful.

And if you're not sold on the game, here's the teaser:

Thanks for playing.

Hey! I loved working with you and testing this beta version! I'm glad it's finnaly here. When do you think 2.1 will come out? October or november?
And it's not AmericaCapitan, it's AmericaCaptitan.
Btw, I will remove the video link from the comment I submitted and delete the comment, and I will send to you a private mensage with the link, I don't want anyone to see it but you. I'm new to newgrounds, I don't knew about these private mensages.

Probably October or November, yeah. Unless I add more stuff. I'm considering adding a boss rush and sequential 2-player. Depends on whether I'm still sick of working on the game when I get back to it.

D'oh. I think I copy/pasted that a couple of places. Will have to fix.

Alrighty. But I think I got what I needed from it.

After Version 2.1 what will be after this?

Lambtaco 2017-09-18 03:46:46

Nothing for AKR2. Game-wise I've got that AVGN game that's nearly done, and I'm going to port AKR Gold to AS3 so I can have mobile and PC versions. I also have some cartoons I want to make.

Alberto66 2017-09-18 18:54:19

Will you work on AKR 1 remake?

Lambtaco 2017-09-18 18:54:19

Maybe. I'm a little koopa'd out right now.

The update is amazing, I'll probably try to beat the game again now xD

Lambtaco 2017-09-21 22:29:34

Spanks. Kick the game's ass.

I am 2.0 beta tester!

SirArsen 2017-11-04 13:29:11

Huh, well I seem to be late to the party. Looks good though! Oh, and did you change my old username to the current one in the credits?

Lambtaco 2017-11-04 13:29:11

I think so. I think I did that a few updates ago, but I could be thinking of another person who changed their username.

SirArsen 2017-11-25 21:41:03

Well, I finished it about a week or two ago. I would consider this version to be the definitive one by far. Great improvements were made and there were some details that I would've never thought of to add. I really consider this a solid game and I'm glad to see it worked out for you. Oh and yeah, my name was changed in the credits, thank you for that! Anyway, I'll be looking forward to whatever you come up with next. Keep it up.

Lambtaco 2017-11-25 21:41:03

Thanks. Good to know it payed off.

NathenTodd 2020-04-25 11:24:56

I need challenge ideas for AKR2

Lambtaco 2020-04-25 11:24:56

NathenTodd 2020-05-03 12:45:10

Lambtaco 2020-05-03 12:45:10
