![]() Overall, this is fantastic and I'm super excited for the full release. It's probably far too late in Lunark's development to add this before launch, but it would make the controls feel "perfect" if you could squeeze it into a future update. The one major thing I miss about the old controls is the "auto jump and grab" that Conrad would do if you had a running start toward a ledge above you. Also, not having a dedicated "draw your weapon" button really simplifies things in a good way. No longer having to precisely hit diagonals on the D-pad is good. I'm excited to see what the later levels look like.Īt first I missed the simplicity of the 3 button + D-pad layout of the Genesis, but I began appreciating the small quality of life improvements that having dedicated jump, roll and shield buttons allows. ![]() The enemies and puzzles continue to evolve as the. I was shocked when I learned the demo and guide were worth 30 but a used copy of the games worth 60. It’s controls might take a bit of getting used to, but its art style and story help to keep you engrossed. I'm digging the retro-modern pastel color palette. Anyway, I too had no idea it was going for so much used. Secondly, the chunky pixel graphics look nice and the animations are good. The easiest way to describe Lunark is a low-res version of Flashback, which was a sci-fi take on Prince of Persia, both of which came out over. ![]() The controls and timing for Flashback are baked into my cerebral cortex. This is the absolute key to this kind of game and you nailed it. First and foremost, the controls are tight and on point. LUNARK'S WEBSITE Created by Canari Games 2,824 backers pledged CA 81,655 to help bring this project to life. Layers of Fear to Debut Revamped Demo Next Week. Lunark is shaping up to be the true successor to Flashback we deserve. Once I learned the button layout for Lunark, the old muscle memory took over and I was zooming around like I had been playing it for decades. LUNARK is a 2D cinematic platformer in the vein of the '90s classics. LUNARK A pixel-art sci-fi adventure set in the midst of a rebellion against a totalitarian regime, LUNARK is a modern take on the 2D cinematic platformer genre of the '90s. Lunark is shaping up to be the true successor to Flashback we deserve.įirst and foremost, the controls are tight and on point. Using MoonNet, this first-ever demonstration of Deep Learning beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO) will unlock new capabilities in science-driven robotic exploration. The PS1 sequel and 2013 remake were both hot garbage, focusing too much on graphical "improvements" and completely missing the point of the precise control that made the original nearly perfect. IMO, Flashback was the best of the cinematic platformers from that era. I play Flashback once a year, it was my favorite Genesis game and still one of my favorite games of all time. ![]() I'm glad to say, this demo proved me wrong! I first saw this game on Twitter 3 years ago, I was super excited but honestly wasn't expecting much. Lets Play: Lunark the Demo - YouTube Thought Id share an Indie game Ive been following called Lunark. ![]()

For Kano and Sonya Blade, check the Mortal Kombat sheet. For Scorpion, Johnny Cage, Liu Kang, Kitana, Mileena, Raiden, Shang Tsung, Sub-Zero, Noob Saibot, Shao Kahn, and Shinnok, see their character pages respectively. ![]() Plus, shoulder charge will quickly close the gap for any fighter trying to strategically battle from afar. Here, were going to list the characters introduced in Mortal Kombat 11. Do the math, and that means there are a ton of characters that have fought, died, been resurrected, died again, returned as a demon and/or cyborg, turned evil, turned good, then died all over again. Other characters in the Kombat Pack 2 include Rain and Mileena, but the Stallone-looking. Mortal Kombat has been around for 11 fighting games and has added new faces each time. Close-range moves like up wrath hammer and annihilation will heavily knock any opponent for a loop, while merciless spear is great for opponents who would rather keep their distance. Mortal Kombat 11 announced John Rambo today as a new playable fighter. Contents 1 Chapters 2 Main Story 2.1 Prologue 2.2 Chapter 1 - Next of Kin (Cassie Cage) 2.2.1 Battles 2.3 Chapter 2 - Timequake (Kotal Kahn) 2.3. In Mortal Kombat 11 Jade is an undead character, and while that doesnt change her effectiveness or easiness, it does make fighting with her that much cooler. Shao Khan isn’t the nearly impossible bastard that you spent hours trying to beat in the other Mortal Kombat games, but his diversity of attacks makes him a man that you shouldn’t fuck with. Mortal Kombat 11 and the Aftermath expansion also has chapter titles in addition to the names of the aforementioned playable characters. ![]() ![]() ![]() More recently, another Egyptian Cobra – this time from New York – made headlines after escaping from its enclosure in the Bronx Zoo. The snake never turned up, and his owner was jailed for a year, after being found guilty of “mischief and common nuisance” One became infamous a few years ago after escaping from its vivarium in a Toronto apartment: two homes had to be evacuated for five months due to fears of the poisonous snake. The Egyptian cobra is an example of a highly dangerous snake: it can grow up to six feet long and can kill a human with one bite. If a venomous snake escapes, it’s a different story. Most pet snakes are harmless, so when they escape, it’s a nuisance rather than a threat to the public. The snake had to have a course of antibiotics and medicated mouthwashes to solve the problem. The roof of the mouth and the back of the tongue had a nasty infection known as “mouth rot”. When I opened the snake’s mouth, the problem was obvious. Whenever any animal refuses to eat, one of the first things to check is the mouth: if eating is painful, no animal is going to take food. He brought the snake to see me find out what was wrong. It had lost a lot of weight, and he thought it would be ravenously hungry, but when offered food, it showed no interest at all. He hauled the reptile out and put it back securely into its vivarium. One autumn evening, the owner was laying the first fire of the season when he heard a rustle from above he reached up the chimney, and there it was, hiding on the chimney shelf, out of view. However, all searches had been fruitless. He was three feet long with a body as thick as a child’s wrist, so you’d think he’d be easy to spot. The snake had vanished six weeks previously, and the owner couldn’t understand where the creature had gone. I remember one large python that I was called to treat as a vet. They lurk in quiet hiding places, waiting for opportunities rather than coming out into the open. Even if they do get hungry, they’re often not in a hurry to seek out food in a public way. And there’s a good chance that they’ll feed themselves, finding rodents or other small edible creatures in secret corners of the family home. ![]() Snakes can easily manage without a meal for several weeks, so patience is needed. Other escaped pets (such as dogs, cats, hamsters, and others) get hungry within 24 hours, making it easy to lure them into a trap if they’re on the run. Snakes are particularly difficult to track down and catch. We were lucky to find the snake if he’d gone through a crack in the floorboards, or beneath the bedroom door, he could have made a permanent get-away. From that day onwards, everyone else was banned from touching the vivarium. We started a careful search of her room, and the snake was soon found, hiding in a pile of clothes in a corner of the room. At the end of a day of visitors, the vivarium door was found ajar, and the snake had gone. She was meticulous about keeping the reptile securely enclosed, but one of her friends was a bit too casual. My daughter had a corn snake as a pet she kept it in her bedroom. I’ve experienced snake-escapes both as a snake-owner and as a vet. Other possible exit points include a poorly fitting tank lid and over-wide ventilation slats. Slowly and silently, it’ll slip through that space, and when the owner’s next checks, the snake will have vanished. And a snake is able to compress its body into a slim, string-like contour. A gap of less than a centimetre is easy to miss, but the snake will spot it at once. The most common problem is simple: the sliding door is left ajar by the snake’s owner. A typical vivarium (the glass tank that’s used to house a snake) has a number of possible flaws. They’re able to spot the smallest of escape routes, even when kept in enclosures that appear to be completely sealed. ![]() I’m not talking about wild snakes: the reptiles in question are escaped pets. Ireland is officially snake-free, thanks to the good work of St Patrick all those years ago, but I’ve no doubt that unofficially, there are thousands of snakes lurking around the country. ![]() |
