I really love this remake, and also the first H.E.R.O. is Back remake! The only suggestion I would make is to make the caverns different colors in each level, just like they were in the first H.E.R.O. is Back remake. Either that, or give the option to play using the original C64 graphics like in the first remake.
A level editor would also be sweet.
But besides that, these two remakes are awesome!!
First of all, I'm really happy that you like these two games!!
Regarding HERO is Back 2, the walls of the caves are already of different colors depending on the level, but, by graphic choice, the colors are rather dark and dull, so the difference is not so marked.
As for the level editor, it would be a significant additional job and given that the game, in 2 and a half years, has been downloaded less than 600 times and I have received donations for only 16 dollars, it is evident that the game is not so liked by most of the players, so it's not worth it. If I ever made a level editor, I would make the game downloadable for a fee, but this is not possible because the rights of the original game are reserved and I would be infringing the copyright.
I'm with ya. I've just started playing this and it's really well done. Would think it should have a lot more traction. Convinced me to go back and get HERO is back also. I've been playing both a lot over the last couple days. Maybe we just need to get the word out more on these. I didn't even know about itch.io until I started looking for my theC64 games and now am discovering a lot of really cool titles. I was pretty much just getting most everything from Steam or some older games on GOG.
Thank you for your support and for appreciating my work. I realize that my PC games have low visibility, but I don't know how to increase it. I've posted videos of all my games on YouTube and Rumble. I left comments on videos about retro games indicating the link to my page on itch.io. I wouldn't know what else to do. If the situation doesn't change, I will continue to make games for C64 (and maybe, who knows, for Amiga), since they give me much more satisfaction.
Anyway, thanks also for your donations for both of my versions of HERO! 👍
