I' have been working on the Long March and made an excutable of where I'm currently up to (v0.6).

(check out my Games section to dl)

This is a screenshot from one of the levels:

I still need to make a few more levels, create two more bosses and maybe make some improvements to current levels. Also I plan on making a tutorial level as right now you have to read the game info to learn the controls.

v0.6 release notes:

-Hero can freely move and shoot (rifle, grenade, machine gun, bazooka)

-Four types of enemies + boss

-Both overhead and platform shooter levels (total of 8)

-New swamp terrain at level 8

-Three cutscenes + quiz

-Variety of items

-Save checkpoint at middle of level

Please comment on errors, bugs and possible improvements so I can keep editing to perfect it!
