Ah, I thought I saw a Decepticon, my bad!

Any whip upgrades?

Any whip upgrades?

Indeed, plus a sub weapon

Didn't mean to come off as over-critical. Really love it! I can't stop raving about that parallax!

Just noticed this video today, and the game looks like it is coming along great!

I notice in the demo there is a lot of staying in one spot in order to kill the enemies, because they take multiple hits.  Will there be an incentive to go for the kill in the final product (other than score)?  I am just thinking, I'd run right past those enemies if I were playing.

Two things...

- More powerful weapons can take out enemies in fewer hits.
- Aside from score, many enemies also drop items... and since this is a "treasure hunting" game, you'll wanna collect as much stuff as possible.

There will be loads of things to collect over the course of the levels so I am hoping part of the fun will be finding all the different things strewn throughout.

Also

Item Collection = Unlockables

Also, is this how alot of you play games? I mean, if I were to just run past enemies why would I even play? Its like playing a shooter without shooting.... its takes the "Play" out of Playing games....

I mean don't get me wrong, I have played Super Mario Bros. a million times so yeah, sometimes I just run past things. But, this is really a differnt style game.

Item Collection = Unlockables

Sweet!  Does any Turbob title do something like this?  The closest I can think of is Bazaru and Ane-San where you buy stuff for your room, but that's quite different (indirectly 'earning' useless stuff).

Mysterious Song has a huge amount of unlockables earned from experiencing all aspects of the game, including item collection.

Splash Lake has item collection as well, but they don't seem to do anything aside from being collected.

Don't ya have to collect 'em all to unlock the second set of 60 stages, and collect 'em all again to unlock the third set of 60 stages?

That's probably it.

Sounds like the doll collection of Wonderboy SMS to open up the final stage.

JJ & Jeff and and Blue Blink are platformers that require you to unlock the final areas of zones. It would be cool if you had to collect a minimal number of artifacts before completeing a stage in Jungle Bros. Just enough to give you incentive to kill enemies, not so many that it would feel tedious.

Shows off the beginning of the treasure stuff and JB's ability to crawl through tight spaces.
