Hello, all. I'm taking a moment to update everyone with Koffi's status. I've updated the page again, and included a new demo for you to play. The demo allows you to play all 4 stages on either Level 1 or Level 2, but also at any difficulty. It should give you a good taste for what the game is like if you haven't tried it.
I'm estimating Koffi at 95% completed. FYI, the "Pyro's Mom" stage is what is not complete yet. It needs a bit more polish, but it's basic gameplay is set in stone and playable. I also hope to have some more prompts and even a how-to-play screen whipped up soon, but these aren't in this version.
All of the contest animals (from the August 2002 Atari Age Design-an-animal Kontest) are accessible in this demo. You may have to play a bit to seem them all though. Each animal lives on its own stage. I've kept the fowl, bugs, and water-residing creatures on the swampy Windy Vines level -- that worked out nicely, I thought! Hint: if you want to see all the animals on a stage, hit Pyro until each pops out, then rescue them in turn. After Pyro goes berzerk, kill yourself. Each time you die, another Animal will pop out. You should be able to see them all this way, on each stage. Note that a few need color tweaks still.
Koffi will come with a manual explaining its modes and gameplay tips, but for now click on the Instructions link on Koffi's dev page where I posted a few tips and how-to's.
I hope to have the programming all done by October 1st; the cart, box, and manual work is all underway so I hope to have the game ready to ship by mid-October to end-October!
ZZZZZZZZZzap!
