This project is the result of combining Bonkers Sewer Adventure and Banana Nababa 2.

Here is a few vids to showcase what it's like:





Controls are Z X C + space + arrows

You can press B to go directly to the boss in each stage. To get back to the stage selection, simply commit suicide and choose Exit.


Theres 3 stages, none of them are quite complete and have a few dummy rooms each but Toy Factory is the closest to being done, Greenhouse is second and Sewers is last.

The plan is to only have 4 levels from which these 3 must be completed to advance.

PS. I hope the music works, I don't think you need the actual Bassmod dll for it to work since afaik they are included in the exe or something like that.

none of the music looped for me, but that was the only problem I had. didn't play the sewers because I assumed they were the same as last time

the change weapon button needs to be something other than space, makes me hit the wrong key too often. left shift or something

I like the GFX and bonkers the character

Laz, I bloody love you.

You're doing the fake-retro thing really well. Put it on gamejolt

so that's what this is!

Thanks for the information of Bonkers Sewer Adventure and Banana Nababa 2.

this is very upsetting to me. i love your games but i cannot play this because game maker doesn't work under Wine and i have moved permanently to linux. :[

Since retro platformers are my favourite kind of game, I must play this and then write about it since your games are always awesome.

Also Laz, quick question. How long does it take to go from being able to do NOTHING in Gamemaker (not knowing how to use it) to being able to make a functional platformer? I have a great idea for one that I don't think has ever been done, and I'd really like to attempt. I'm just wondering what the learning curve is like.


(No, I clearly do not check Game Design very often anymore.)

Well this project has existed for 6+ months now BUT a lot of that has been idling and zero motivation slumps, and to be fair this is the sort of game that could be made in less than a month.

But how long it takes to learn well it kinda depends on a lot of stuff, like previous experience etc. but I never really had any problems when I got started, it was and still is a lot of rince and repeat with a few innovations every now and then. With innovations I do mean discovering new, smarter ways to produce the desired results.


But while on this thread, the game is pretty much done right now content wise (note the demo here is really old and a lot has changed since then). I just need to make an ending, improve the opening, code a few things and then get a whole bunch of audio/music into it and it's as good as done. I will probably give out the editable again since I really don't see the point of keeping them to myself.

Here is the latest version which is only one of the last. This is pretty much the full game, it still needs the original soundtrack and a lot of sounds but this is it.

Very cool game, Laz. I think that this is easily your best yet! So is the game just called Negaman?

I'm thinking Warlock Bentspine because he throws fireballs and has a bent spine.

Also for anyone who might be struggling with the game, use the password 614 to get yourself into the last level.
