Timkho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Power Star Game (INCOMPLETE VERSION)]

Such a shame that the game was canceled, it had so much potential.
But still impressive how many stuff was put into it: badass "Hero's" attacks, pretty challenging enemies (sometimes they can be unfair but whatever) and stuff.

I remember those times when I was watching gameplay videos of it and looking comments about it. However, I saw one little comment, that got me interested - "...Hopefully, someone can pick up it's Demo Project and finish it, some day.". I looked up its replies and saw some comments of individuals, who were up at finishing the project but eventually got demotivated or just got too lazy to do anything with it (who knows).

Those comments got me motivated to be, well, not the first one who will complete the beta build, but at least the first one who could showcase unused mechanics from the game on YT - no one did that before, so why not. So, via "Sothink SWF Decompiler" and "JPSXE", I found some unused attacks, levels and entities that weren't programmed yet for some reason (maybe deadlines, maybe something else).

I sorta love to restore unused stuff from games, so I started to, let's just say, "Unleash" Power Star Game. The more I was restoring them, the more I was more and more interested in upgrading the game. Alas, I even added some new attacks and stuff to make the gameplay even better (I think). I have some videos about its updates, yeah, but I think I won't still leave the link to them because that, well, counts as advertisment in my opinion.

So, FreddyXBR or whoever owns/published/created this game, will it be alright if I release "Unleashed Power Star" (Edited "Power Star Game Beta") on my account (with giving credit ofc)? I just want to give everyone, even if not official, way more polished project, that everyone may enjoy even more than before (even if it's just "fan-fix'/mod/whatever).

EDIT for Respond: Words cannot describe how much I'm happy to see your respond now :D. It was actually a wise action to publish this oldass version because without it "Power Star Unleashed" project would never been a thing ever! Back in the day of writing this review I thought that you somehow were part of original game, so that's why I thought of Credit thing lol. Guess you were just the lucky one to have original build after all.

This "Remake" bringed more happiness especially to me since by editing and analyzing it I got better and better in coding! I'm really glad that our team bringed you a lot of joy in your heart too by our (probably first in team) PStar-Themed game. Wishing you greatest year ever, peace!

FreddyXBR responds:

hey Timkho! first of all, I apologize for the delay in responding because I haven't accessed Newgrounds for a few months, but now I went to see the comment and man, I'm really happy to read what you wrote ngl.

So, about me; I published this game because I had a copy of this version somewhere on the internet and I decided to download and republish it here on Newgrounds so as not to make the PowerStar game a "lost media", if you know what I mean.
However, I think your publication of the Power Star Game beta version is acceptable, I don't know about the credits because I was the first to post this game on the website so I have no idea how the credits work LOL

I went to take a look at your project and man, I've never been so happy playing each level and chapter, this is literally a childhood dream coming true!
I really hope the game is 100% complete, you and your team are incredibly brilliant, congratulations for the work!

In fact, I'm promoting your new game as a recommendation in the description of my preserve :)

have a great year!
