Pretty good for a test project I like the way he moves and the double jump is a nice touch, I feel that this could be used for a original game you could make on your own. No need to make a contra remake with your talent. You could make a good original shooter from your own imagination that could be Contra inspired

Needs alot of improvement.

First you have to hold down shoot to get the bullet away, the jumping is a little overpowered, and there's no sunny D.

test are a no go

look i understand what your trying to do. you have a big idea in mind. but you waste your time by putting this up as a test on the site. you can shoot and you can jump. you need a bit of work on the shooting aspect as it seems if you spam the shoot button it only goes so far as to when you just push it once. but look you got a good idea. contra should be a flash game. just dont put test or demos on this site. its not worth your time or the viewers.

No point

There is no point to this game, it's just a game where your guy can shoot and jump, I couldn't find any enemies :o

Needs a lot of improvement.

Well, it seems like you're just starting out in actionscript. You got Bill's basic movement down, but your main flaws come in with shooting. In the contra series, Bill can fire at almost any position imaginable. In this 'game' he can't even fire while running, not to mention the fact that he fires at about 1 bullet per second.

It also looks like Bill's bullets are a part of the same movie clip as him, so whenever they hit another platform, it propels him backwards. I'm sure if you looked up some tutorials you could find an easy way to fix a lot of these problems.

The main problem, however is the fact that you're submitting a completely unfinished game. 3 Platforms and a player does not a game make. Also, your platforms were simply black boxes. You couldn't use some sprite from contra for your platforms or even implement some sort of decent looking background? Take it from me, submitting an unfinished game is not the way to go in terms of Newgrounds.

I hope my review helped you in some way, good luck in the world of actionscript.
