sweet! got it queued and welcome to LBPC. Glad to have you here. You should make an introductory thread in the Introduce Yourselves (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?6-Introduce-Yourselves) section of the site. Also, you should consider adding pictures and what not to your thread to pretty it up. Here's a hand guide on the subject.

Does this follow the original Gun Run by Arcade Town exactly? Or is it just the same aesthetic? Either way, it looks very well done, I'll definitely check it out.2013-03-19 06:14:00

Never played the original, and just had a quick look at some screen shots now, and it looks like you have done a really good job of recreating the aesthetics of it.

Played your level a few times and only really got about 100 kills each time on average, which isn't that great I'd guess, I really liked the animations and the endless scrolling was really well done, the old skool parallax effect works nicely. The sprite sticks really well to the ground also, and follows the contours perfectly. Very impressive, it's pretty evident that a lot of work went into that. The sprite also responds really well and the aiming is accurate.

I didn't like how slow it felt though, not a huge detractor, but I think it may take too long to ramp up for my tastes, although the power ups were introduced at a nice pace.

Again I'm not too sure how closely it emulates the original, but I felt that by the time I got to the witches' I was getting fatigued in my forearm, from constantly shooting, and by the time the flying robots turned up I was sort of thinking OMG MY ARM.

By that time it seemed that the terrain had begun to vary and it was more challenging, but I was starting to feel like I had seen everything the level was going to do, the robots appeared and suggested more was coming, but they behave similarly to the witches so it didn't feel that different in what I was doing. I died, and though I'll give it another go, which is what I'd guess is a good thing for this type of level, but when I didn't get much further, or see anything more I was sort of feeling that maybe I shouldn't have played again, although I did try harder to get further. I died again and retried again thinking that I'd do better, but again, was sort of bored with shooting the same things again not sure if more challenge would turn up.

I am amazed that people are so good to get 1000 kills, so I guess some crazy stuff happens, but I was happy with my 100 because I'm not normally someone that goes for high scores.

Anyway's welcome to the forums, and congrats on the level it seems to be very well received
