Twisted MettleChaotix of Tomorrow continues!!Final edition!! (April 20th, 2020)The original version was released on November 25th, 2008, but now, little more than 11 years later, I decided to brush off the project just like I did with Chaotix of Tomorrow. This edition too plays out like its original edition, but there are several improvements: * 20% less enemy encounters, compensated with the same ammount of gold, EXP and item drop rewards. * Text font has improved the same way as in Chaotix of Tomorrow and is now a lot easier to read. * The working side-quests award about 30% more money, and the prizes at the Mobotropolis casino have improved as well. * Easier to recruit the 50 heroes - you will recieve a warning when it will be too late to recruit any more of them, and the four hardest recruits in the original version are now *lots* easier to find. Before you get the "warning", there is no risk you'll get soft-locked (as you could in the previous edition) from getting the good ending with all 50 heroes. * Some other bugs and touch-ups were made here and there. This, however, not all! Today, on April 20th, exactly 25 years since the original Knuckles Chaotix was released in Japan, I have released one very final version which, except the things above, contain: * Updated graphics. * A couple of new cut-scenes. * Yet another 30% increase of side-quest awards. * 13 new heroes to recruit (all canons, replacing fan characters, as my previous edition was critisized for being too fan-based). Thus some side-plots have changed a little. * New possibilities to recruit heroes. * Easier to know where to go and what to do next (more advice given at the Acorn castle).   Does the name "Twisted Mettle" ring a bell, by any chance? Well, in 1996 I was working, together with a guy in South Africa, called Ablater (as well as some other people down there) with a 2D plattform game with Sally, called Twisted Mettle. I was doing the animation sprites (as unbelievable as it may sound) and it actually looked good, the project came out very nicely. However, we only managed to create a simple demo that would lock up early, and that was it. Ablater got busy and the project died, which was a great shame, as the project was quite well-spoken of in those days. And now, more than 10 years later, I really felt like bringing this project back to life, and I also got great feedback from CoT...so I decided to create a sequal!

If you for any reason want to play the original version (which I'm keeping mostly just for the sake of it), you need these two files, setup.zip and TwistedMettle.lzh (37Mb) |
