Portage of Rainbow Dash Attack

[Hayleia]

Credits go to Ashbad for the original idea and I asked him the permission before posting my project

So I am trying to port Rainbow Dash Attack to z80 calcs in Axe.
Here is a screenshot of my progress so far

Spoiler for outdated screenshot:

You see that there are a few things to do (you can't lose, you can fly even without power...) and that I need a pony sprite
So for the sprite, it should be 16 pixels tall at the maximum, and I don't care much about the width: I still can make the sprite half off screen at worst. Three levels of greyscale is allowed.

Suggestions, feedback and sprites are welcome

(Latest release, compiled for Ion)

I like it
Maybe you could make the power only recharge (when it runs out) when you land on a platform?
And possibly animate the sprite? If space allows

Yes, it will recharge. And of course, it will not be able to fly without power (not as in the screenshot )
But I won't animate this sprite. I need another sprite, a beautiful one that I will animate for sure

What size sprite you need? Grayscale? I like it. Hope you can make good progress with this.

nice it fits nicely in the pony trend here xp

are you planning to make a different sprite for the flying too? so that it really looks like it's flying

I tried making some 8x8 sprites:
Flying:

Standing:


I couldn't really fit a tail in the 8x8 space.

Cool idea: My thoughts-
-Rainbow Dash herself needs a bigger and animated sprite, I'll work on it.
-Too bad it isn't color. Not much we can do about that though.

Are there going to be variable height platforms?

How big are you thinking? You cant really do 16x16 because that would be way too big.

Btw, the original game for the Prizm on Omni is here and here on Cemetech.

Thanks, but yeah 8x8 is too small. I forgot to say the dimensions I needed. But thanks for trying

I edited the firsrt post concerning the sprite.

Thanks for trying the sprite

I see you don't have a Prizm jk
No there won't but there will be (forgot the exact word) black clouds to avoid an apples to collect.

This sprite is better, but it is big:
Flying:

I haven't done the standing/walking yet.

It is indeed a bit big, but it is a very good start
Moreover, Rainbow Dash's wings are not that big so the sprite can easily be scaled down a bit
Also, grey is in fact a bad idea since the background is mainly grey. Or maybe at least with an outline

[Spenceboy98]

How about ?

[Sorunome]

FINALLY a MLP game!
I can't wait till it's finished!

[aeTIos]

Hmm looks nice maybe you could double or even triplescale it for viewing purposes
