Any reason you spelled it "Castors"? If you're trying to riff Cardcaptor, then stick with Captor or Caster.

Just my two cents.

Handy tip: You can give your game an intro by putting an on-step NPC on the hero's starting position.

This contest brings back memories :)

Walljumps are way too touchy. Please please increase the height on them. "At least the monsteres can't reach your corpse." It looks pretty much like night has already fallen at the beginning of the game. Making the screen dark only makes it harder to see what you're doing. I could love thi...

The oldest available games predate Castle Paradox anyway.

I want to pitch in my $0.02 and say that this is a fantastic idea. I hope to enter (but I promise nothing). Constraints are the heart of any contest and screw anyone who thinks otherwise. Being creative within those constraints is what wins contests. Remember who won the Fight Battle contest? It was...

Bearupt.

Why do you need two separate heroes for the trainers? Seems like if you're going to double up anywhere, it'd be there.

You're making two versions, right? Pokemon Beige and Pokemon Tan? Pokemon Khaki? Pokemon Ecru?

It's possible, but a) it's functionally equivalent to rotating the character, and b) if you have to ask, you're probably not prepared to do it.

Edit: The easiest way to do it if you don't want to mess with scripting too much is to make four copies of each map, one for each orientation.

Yes, I don't disagree! I would make the following suggestions, though: - Start simple. Sure, you can make a 200-line program to cover every contingency, but it's going to be more time-effective to try out a five-line program and expand from there. - Start small. Five simultaneously interacting Autom...

A few helpful notes: - You can challenge yourself to a match! If you want to test out your team without potentially embarrassing yourself, this is an easy way to do it. - You can also put the same Automaton in a team more than once. If you don't have five Automata yet but want to try out a full team...

Automata

"We can control them. We can make them do whatever we want." Create an army of Automata to do your bidding. Give them intelligence and instruct them to defeat your enemies! Or, in other words: "Hey look guys I made yet another multiplayer battle-thingy in just over a week :hurr:"...

Define "crashing." If you mean the window closes, then yes.
