Astrolancer full playthrough

Following the previous post here is Astrolancer game full playthrough/walkthrough on Normal difficulty. With commentary, with good voice audibility.

The game has nice 8-bit stylization. The music is good. As does The Guardian Legend this game has nice variety of interesting sub-weapons. The game progress is linear. The gameplay is shifted a bit more towards bullet hells. You’ll find a lot of referencing from The Guardian Legend in this game.

Astrolancer got its page on Steam

The indie game inspired by The Guardian Legend now has the page on Steam:

It is not a metroidvania. It has linear progression between levels. Means you walk through a level, reach SHMUP level and then a next walking level. The game has difficulty levels(I guess easy, normal, hard).

Plans for Astrolancer

Year passed and Stuffman continues to work on his TGL inspired game – Astrolancer.

There is an article he posted of what changes he wants to add to the game and what to develop next: https://stuffman-main.tumblr.com/post/674647108624760832/plans-for-astrolancer-ive-thought-up-while-ive

And it’s always good to see some visuals:

What if The Guardian Legend is a platformer?(sort of)

This is fun. Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link randomizer has an option to switch sprite to another. This is how Miria sprite looks like in it. Yes she is green. But NES limitations made that way that if she was red then everything around that uses the same color would be red.

And by the way have you noticed that the music in map walking view in Zelda 2 has some similarities with The Guardian Legend start tune(Approaching Naju)?

Zelda 2 – overworld theme

The Guardian Legend – Corridor 0(Approaching Naju)

Check out the moment when Miria raise up tri-force at 2:22:35. This is a funny happy face. Also she has a kiss with Hyrule there, or is it a hug?

P.S.

Also here is the new Astrolancer demo from Stuffman:

Stuffman continues to develop the game “Astrolancer”(inspired by The Guardian Legend). Said he is putting out the new demo on this weekend. So, I guess, you will be able to play flying stages as well.

Lets see some past screenshots of the progress he posted.

AstroLancer – special weapons

Stuffman added bunch of weapons and special weapons animations. From his project AstroLancer (not sure if that will be the name of the game).

Unlike The Guardian Legend in his game the primary weapon has several options to choose.

Below some examples. You can see the full sets here 7 primary and 14 special weapons:

Lets hope this project will not stop. As some of you may remember – Rekirek Saga stopped around this phase of development. And seems never will continue.

you are LANCER TWO

A guy Stuffman on tumblr posted quite ambitious claim of game project inspired by The Guardian Legend.

you are LANCER TWO, weapon of mass destruction and property of the AUTONOMOUS SPACE-TRAVELING ROBOT ORGANIZATION, a military branch of the GALACTIC COUNCIL. you are a cutting-edge fighting machine, capable of merging with your TRUSTY LANCE to become a tiny FTL-capable spacecraft, designed to jet into the deepest reaches of space and fight alone. you may or may not have feelings. (if you do, it’s plausibly deniable).

your current mission is to travel to a mining colony at the fringe of the galaxy, which has been invaded by the dreaded VON NEUMANNS. theorized to have already infested much of Andromeda, this self-replicating menace must not be allowed to have a foothold into our galaxy!

the GALACTIC COUNCIL will take no risks with the VON NEUMANNS; upon arriving in the star system, the BLACK HOLE BOMB inside you arms itself. should you be defeated and fail your mission, it will detonate, taking you and everything in the star system with it.

the VON NEUMANNS are already doomed. can you save this lonely planet, and yourself?

(she has a more “civilian” look, but in true NES fashion, you can’t see it until you beat the game.)
