Kid Kirby Recreated

A recreation of a cancelled Kirby game that Nintendo contracted DMA design to make in the mid-90's, using information and assets shared publically by some of the old developers. Currently available on Windows and Linux. To download the game, simply 1. Download the .zip, 2. Extract it (Right click - extract all), 3. Open the folder, and 4. Launch Kid Kirby Recreation.exe for windows or Kid_Kirby_Recreation_Linux.x86_64 for linux. Please note that if on linux you may need to use chmod +x to make the file an executable. CONTROLS + Tips: Use the mouse to drag and launch Kirby around the levels! It works kind of like angry birds but there's no slingshot. Just click on Kirby, drag back, adjust your trajectory, and release to send Kirby in that direction. If you are moving fast (check if Kirby enters the swirling spinning animation in the air) then you will be able to defeat most enemies just by launching into them, but if you are moving too slow, Kirby will take damage! Please note that you do not have to be grounded to drag and launch Kirby! Learning how to use the mouse to 'catch' Kirby and readjust his trajectory in midair will be key to success. Some enemies will give you copy abilities upon defeat, press right click or space to use them. However, you cannot pick up another ability while you have one currently active. Beam and Parasol last 10 seconds by default, but you can press right click or space again to deactivate them early. Press up/w to enter doors, press left/a to slap Kirby up quickly, and press right/d to slam Kirby down. Use w/up to angle the pitch of the paper airplane up, and s/down to angle it down. Angling down will let you gain forward velocity at the expense of height, angling up will let you gain height at the expense of velocity, be careful not to lose all your horizontal momentum or you will drop straight down. A mix of both will let you glide great distances! (I modeled it after the paper airplane transformation in Paper Mario TTYD so if you have played that, this should feel familiar). Press P or enter to pause in any level or in the level hub. This will give you the option to select continue or return to hub/main menu. Pressing P or enter again will unpause as well. You can press space or enter to skip cutscenes. If you accidently skip the intro cutscene, just wait on the title screen without pressing anything and it will eventually play like a demo scene. You can press f to toggle fullscreen when the options menu is open if set to 1024x896 resolution even though there's an explicit option for it because I left that hotkey in after testing. Use the bomb button in the top right corner of the options menu to clear your save data if you want to. There are 8 total levels plus a boss fight, with new mechanics introduced in each one. Please let me know about any game-breaking issues in the comments section (on my youtube or itch.io page), since I don't really have anywhere else for community feedback for now, I will try to check them frequently.
