Hollow knight game

edit from @BotWarrior: “the game doesn’t work anymore and has been abandoned”

Hi all, I am currently making a game based on hollow knight. I have been coding games for a few years on make code, and have always looked in the forums when I wanted an extension or help with some tricky code. The game isn’t complete, and I haven’t added a tutorial, but I wanted some feedback on it. I have used Better Settings to store a lot of things, so if it glitches or you die or restart or anything like that you get sent back to where you were. Sorry if this link doesn’t work properly, I am new to the make code forums. @InvalidProject I have seen sealed vessel and loved it, if I get far enough (and if I can get the music into my project) can I use it?
Please tell me what you think :slight_smile:

Sorry just for clarification, the controls are the same as in the actual game, Z is jump (hold for a bigger jump) X is attack which you can do in all directions, C to dash. If you are holding down and slash at spikes or enemies, you will “Nail jump” on them, bouncing off into the air. On the right when you enter the game at first, slash the door. I have not made any levels, but I have used settings to make sure that it saves when you restart the game. The thing in the top left is your “soul”, which (when I get around to coding it) is your source of healing. This game is very unfinished, so you cannot be damaged by enemies or use the currency, Geo for buying stuff. Things I will add-
Healing using soul, more enemies, more levels and BOSSES! I hope you enjoy, if you are confused pls ask me questions.

Any good sprite artists out there? I am looking for someone to help with the animations for the main character. If you see this can you share it to anyone who is good at sprite art? In particular I am looking for jumping, walking, dashing and dying animations.

@CodeOnTheCob You need to click C on your keyboard to start the game. @BotWarrior you should also add an option to make a new game!

Thanks for checking out my game. I have seen your version of hollow knight after making mine and thought it was very good. For the new game, the menu will have an option to erase save file, and if I get around to it I will make multiple save files. I did not use the platformer extension on this game, so stuff like knock back from enemies is really annoying to build. The problem is that I can’t easily stop move with buttons from overwriting vx. With dash I just stopped my movement while dashing and returned it, but it is far from ideal. Please ask around or tell people about this project so it gets spread. @CrunchyToast does your graphic designer have an account on make code? I would love even some basic animations from someone who can actually do art. (AKA not me :slight_smile: ) Is there any way to make your posts get sent without someone having to check them out? Waiting for replies to get sent is really annoying.

@BotWarrior You have to get your post approved. Secondly, my graphics designer doesn’t have a Makecode Forum account YET. But he will soon. In the meantime, I’m requesting him to animate your sprites. I’m currently working on making a starting menu for you!

@CrunchyToast Thanks, it would be great if you talked to him. I am already halfway through the menu though so I might finish it, although thank you for offering.

@BotWarrior He’s already done some of the basic animations for your game. We’re going to make the pogo animation along with the Nail swing. Once done, I’ll send you the animations via. a makecode arcade game in which you can copy from. How does that sound?

@CrunchyToast thanks so much!!! I find it really difficult to do sprite animations so I appreciate it. Is there any chance you can get him to make a make code arcade account so I can also talk to him?
