Let's try, try, try, look high and low!

Monkey King: Master of the Clouds is now available DRM-free on GOG.com, 10% off until September 21st, 5pm UTC.
Almost 30 years after his first coin-op appearance, the rosy-cheeked Monkey King returns to kick some mythical butt while looking better than ever. Ride your agile cloud and cruise through this old-school bullet hell, fighting mean-looking creatures of legend against iconic Chinese landscapes.
Oh hey. I saw this being streamed by Studio Mudprints.
da fuk
Hey, Retroism. It's been a while. Please bring the rest of the Humongous games. (pls) :P
Nice.
Is this a "proper" Windows port, or kinda of emulator+rom, like NeoGeo ones?

Extremely happy, i played games lik that , yes i did when i was a small kid ( before the sensitive eye things happend)
8 or 9 or so , played those mario like games.

Anyway its avoid for me now , sore eyes and headaches and more aint fun, i do wonder why the extreme high minimum requirements.

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz ?????????

Games like this were played on far lower systems , ancient systems compared to to nowadays technology, so why these high min. requirements? is it because the games are made using some engines , or klikn play development like:

Fusion 2, game maker, unity, wintermute, visionaire, xna framework ( microsoft) ? i cant help thinking the min req. can be much lower if properly coded and optimised.

The old games we have were not coded using 'klik play' tools , they perform better, are smaller, before you know it you need a i9 for a tetris classic game.

Got suckered into buying this thing because of the setting (Chinese mythology, that's got to be fun, right?).

My experience with the game has gone like this:

- Start game
- See "Press Shot Button" prompt
- Press Spacebar - Nothing happens
- Press Enter - Nothing happens
- Start hitting random buttons on the keyboard
- It was Right Alt - It's always the start of a great love if it takes you more than 5 attempts to figure out the right key to enter the main menu.
- Check out the main menu
- Oh great, the multiplayer mode isn't online multiplayer, it's one of those "Get a little too close for comfort as you share a keyboard with your buddy"- multiplayer modes.
- Oh great, I can't rebind the keys! WASD for controls and Right Alt to shoot it is.
- Start the actual game
- Art style is nice enough, but gameplay itself is generic, annoying bullet hell (art style aside, it's nothing like Alex Kidd, which was mentioned in this thread).
- Quit the game after 13 minutes (from the looks of the Steam reviews, that seems to be a pattern).

=> Should've listened to the 2-star review! Add to that the fact that you can't even rebind your keys. Another couple of bucks down the toilet.
