This almost belongs in the Scraps section. Sadly, I was but a month or so from completion when my harddrive crashed and I lost the source file, leaving me with only this version I had uploaded a while ago to demo to my friends. It's technically complete enough to stand on its own, but not enough for me to consider it final. All it's missing is the animated intro and some level & dialogue touch-ups. Anyhow, enjoy!
P.S - You can navigate the menus with the mouse and/or the keyboard. I recommend you check out the controls as soon as you can, and change them to your liking.
If you do deside to work on this again, you may want to check the dialoge in Stage 5. There seems to be a line that should be said by the king, but Conrad Weiss says it instead. I know this is quite old already, but I play it from time to time. ^^ Love the game as well as the ending.
I just liked them and thought they were pretty.
Stage Fail: Koi No Yukue (Midori no Hibi)
Stages 4-6: Zubunure Obake (Tonari no Totoro)
Stages 7-8: Cloudy Light (IRIA - Zeiram the Animation)
What's keeping you from beating the first stage?
