Opening up the game...

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!Huzzah! Let's see the beginnings of Remar's awesome work.
Don't take life too seriously. It's only a temporary situation.Well this game is actually pretty basic. And hard.
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!Oh, I know. I've played it before. The second-last level is a pain to navigate
Don't take life too seriously. It's only a temporary situation.Level 5 is the only one I had to open up the game guide to get a map for. And I think I gave up on level 6, since giving 128 hits without taking a single one is just a little bit too much.
the future we had hoped forYou are a One-Hit-Point Wonder in this game and you have a total of five lives. When they're used up you have to restart the entire level. |
Also, hugging a wall for a few seconds kills you. I don't know why. |
Let's go to the right. |
You don't have to kill every enemy in this game. Only bother killing them if you have to open a door or if they're gonna get in your way. That said let's go over some of them. |
This is a drone. They're the Mascot Mook for the series and they are The Goomba. They take 2 hits to die and all they do is chase you. They are pretty slow so they shouldn't be much trouble. |
These are Reavers. They take four hits. They also chase you... and can't do much else. However they are as fast as you so they're more threatening. Take them out as quick as possible. |
That is a Supergun. One is hidden in every level. |
If you die with the Supergun you lose it and it doesn't respawn. Had trouble with a certain enemy? Too bad! You'll have to restart the level to get it back. |
Back at the starting room, this time going to the left... |
Going to the right! |
The path is blocked by a barrier. We have to take it down by taking down a generator. |
These are crushers. They take 8 hits to kill and are slightly faster than you. The only way for them to hurt you is by ramming into you. |
Back in the previous room this time going up. |
These things are generators. You have to destroy them to open doors. They take 64 hits to kill and aren't that hard to take out. They fire bullets at you and sometimes fires a spreadshot. |
Firing anywhere else won't do anything. |
Don't worry about the caged enemy. |
These are Hunters. They are slightly faster than you and take 16 hits to kill. Unlike most other enemies we encountered, they can fire at you. Take them out quick. |
That door you see on the right can only be opened by taking out a boss. The bosses quickly become degraded bosses in the levels after the one they were fought in. |
These are spawners. They take 16 hits to kill. They can fire in an upward arc and spawn enemies to give you trouble. These should be taken out first. |

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!Okay anyone know how to get the text under the pictures?
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!Try surrounding everything in || on each side.
the future we had hoped forNot letting this thread die. I was just getting screencaps from the next couple of levels. It's pretty tedious. Oh and if anyone knows better way to get the text under the pictures, please say so.
Level Two
- Did I mention the music in this game is really chip-tuney and grating on the ears? Thankfully the music isn't so grating in Hero Core.
- When entering a room with a generator you should always look for a safe spot to hide from its bullet spray.
- Also hello Degraded Boss!
- (The moment I got into this room, the ceiling collapsed around the hunter. I wasn't fast enough to screencap that.)
- To deal with these guys, try to firing at them while circling them. Be careful, these guys can shoot projectiles so try to stay as far away from them as possible. If you have the Supergun you'll take them down faster.
- Updates should be a little more frequent now.

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!The captions appear, to me, to be under the pictures. I'm not sure what you mean.
It's pretty neat so far. I'm fairly sure screenshots are better than a video at this juncture, for most of this anyway. It's neat to see Daniel's beginnings.
Sakamoto demands an explanation for this shit.Thanks for the feedback! I'm actually talking about the text that's bulleted. Someone on here got the text to go under the picture and captions without using bullets. It's not really much of an issue at this point, but it would be nice to know some markups.
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!Level Three
These are Annihilators. They are really really dangerous. I really hope you have the Supergun or you will have a lot of trouble with this guy. They shoot slow bullets that clutter up the screen so you can't move around as much. They shoot three bullets in quick succession at you. And they shoot out four bullets diagonally and cardinally alternating between the two. I suggest you circle around them and using any availible scenery to hide from these guys until an opening shows up. |

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!Like poni said earlier, you use the pipe character. Surround a picture in those like so: ||https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Annihilator_9537.png|| and you can put it inline (note that the line has to start and end with pipe characters).
If you don't know how to type a pipe, it's the character you get by holding Shift and pressing the \\ key.
Example:
Run. Run for your life.

Sakamoto demands an explanation for this shit.You people will see level 4 later but level 5 won't be seen for a while. I'm having trouble killing the annihilator that opens all the doors.
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!
I will be doing a Let's Play of Hero which is a game by Daniel Remar who made Iji. You can get it here. (Although I wouldn't exactly recommend it. The sequel is much better.
It is a basic shoot em up type game and it is a bit challenging. It is styled after older video games. You control a character named Flip Hero who only switches the direction he's facing when he's firing. His objective is to take down Tetron and and stop his mechanical army from taking over the world.
This will be a screenshot Let's Play. Hopefully I can update this from time to time. It shouldn't take too long probably.
