Adam, old friend! I was sure you would like it, specially since April is a playable character.
I didn't post about this before because I was waiting to make some more progress and have a meatier download available. But I haven't made any progress in over a month so I said what the hell, let's share what's been done so far.

The microphone whip concept is freakin' stellar & I love the camera flash special attack, too. I cannot wait to see what else you have in store for us. I hope this thing gets as much of your attention as real life permits!

If there's anything I can help with (like, say, remixes of the NES songs to go along with your updated visuals) I'd love to be a part of it.

Dude you're making me blush, haha. Anyway I am SO GLAD that you're offering to help, because you already made those great recreations of some of the melodies of the cartoon. Now, I don't want to update the existing NES songs as I really like them the way they are. What would be nice to have though is additional songs in the same NES/Konami style. Because one of the new levels involve the Channel 6 building, it would be nice to have the Channel 6 theme "konamizised", you know: looping chiptune, faster tempo, maybe that "heroes in a half shell!" melody thrown in. Would you be interested in making something like that?

Is it too late now to continue?

That is EXACTLY what I set out to do, a TMNT game heavily inspired in what Mario All Stars did. Originally I was going to do a straight update of TMNT2, but then decided that it would be more fun to do a fun amalgamation/homage to those games and the cartoon. BTW two levels are based on TMNT1 but keeping the Z axis (that means no crouching)

Dude, I was hoping I could get away with not giving anyone that 2-button move other than the 4 turtles. Sorry? It's just there's so many characters left to do. Anyway I may reconsider this. In any case April's range is greater than Rocksteady's kick. So it's quite easy to play as her, you just need to be a little more patient due to her not being as strong as the others.

Thanks for pointing that out, Jester. The video I posted is old and outdated. I still haven't uploaded a newer gameplay video. Thanks for trying out the game and for the nice feedback!
