Red Pixel

version 1.0

Description

Red Pixel is a platform, deathmatch game. You run around platform levels, picking up guns and ammo, shooting the other player. It comes with some cool lighting effects to set the atmosphere, one layer parallax scrolling (wow!) and some nice stolen sound effects.

Nice things people have said.

Extra maps and demos

If you create any new maps or record cool demos, please send them over so I can put them up here (and later into the main distribution when I make a new release).

FAQ

Can you add Internet / more players support?

Sorry, no. The code was not designed for client-server style interaction, so adding 3 or 4 player support over Ethernet or Internet would mean ripping up massive chunks of code, which I have no time to do.

Remember that the code is available so you are free to try this if you feel the urge. If you are successful, I would like to hear about it!
