I really like this pixelhugger a lot.. I wish I could customize the gamepad so i can complete the game in short time..
There is a free Windows program available that a Japanese author wrote called JoyToKey that allows you to map keyboard keys to gamepad buttons.
I believe it uses the DirectInput extensions to Microsoft's DirectX. I haven't tried it since I do not yet own a USB gamepad, but I will post an entry about it in the future when I get my hands on one.
Since I have USB Gamepad, I tried JoyToKey for first time, and I am frustrated with this, because D-pad does not work while playing with gamepad, but buttons only work so I read the READ ME manual and learned that I have to turn POV switches on (POV is like D-Pad), and finally it worked great on Flash games.
I really enjoy playing this game with gamepad, much more than keyboard. Also I played Alien Hominid with gamepad, and it is much more fun than Contra!
Anyway, did I mention PixelHugger character looks like Charlie Brown?
Ugh, moving between trees is really annoying, it's not made very well.
I couldn't get it started! when I open the link, it only shows half of the playing screen! Help!
Due to high traffic, Pete has moved the game to the Fingertime site. I have updated the Javascript so that the window opens with scroll bars with which you can position the window correctly.
This game was pretty hard, but a really cool concept all the less. At first I thought it was going to be relatively quick and somewhat brain-less (gotta love those games), it proved to be a lot more strategy-based than that. A few tweaks do seem to be in order, since it was very hard to position yourself correctly to go down a small path. Other than that, it was pretty enjoyable and I would recommend at least trying it out. ^_^
How do you beat this game.. someone HELP PLEASE!. How do you unleash the bazooka? and why does the screen mess up when you goto the room where I think Auntie Alias is? please hellllp
ooops.. ok 69 min.. took forever. missed 1 board.
