Don't be sorry, some people still use vba (Super Mario Deluxe) and there wasn't really a full mention of it being completely gone. Shotgun encode YES vote.

Wow... The sprites used when Croc moves to the left and right looks like he is completely brain dead This game is so bad, yet strangely entertaining. Yes vote for Moon publication. Now make it 100%.

Thanks for the temp encode, RingRush! At first, I feared this GBC version would be a total bastardization compared to the PSX original, like the Rayman game we have published. I was pleasantly surprised. The game moves along pretty fluidly, like Gremlins 2 but with puzzles and bright colors. There's some amusing antics too, like how Croc has to go "Wow!!" with every trivial accomplishment he finishes. Croc sure has a lot of fun being a fetch-quest bitch for the Gobbos. Also, the second boss reminds me of a certain StarTropics boss :-) (That boss is a fire monster, and you also beat him by destroying key parts of the scenery rather than by attacking directly.) Questions: * Around 8:20 in the encode, you grab what looks like a ribbon. You shoved two boxes to finish that puzzle, but you look like you only needed one to make the jump. Why did you shove the second box? * At 10:45, it seems like you didn't need the shoved box to make the jump here either. * Why did you die around 15:15? It didn't look like you accomplished any particular trigger around that point that would suggest a deathwarp. Screenshot suggestion: Around 11:52 when Croc is dancing after picking up an item

Thank you RingRush. I guess there's only one other concern I found. You died twice, I think, so it seems you should've been fine with the two initial lives, but you still earned enough diamonds to get an extra life. I don't recall if there was a time-wasting animation for the extra life, but if there were, could it have been avoided?

You get extra lives by killing 20 enemies, so the lives I got were just along the main path. I never spent any extra frames to kill something, and getting the life itself costs no time (unless you want to warp with a gameover, which isn't useful in any%).

With all those shortcut jumps over lava, I expected Croc to run into Jason from Master Blaster... Surprisingly entertaining for a GBC game, and looks optimized to my amateur eye. Yes vote.

Yes vote for the music :)

Don't ask me, I literally thought. This crocodile is in the wrong place (nah~). Edit: 2 more

seems like a GBC rom to me

^ Good catch, I have several Croc 2 ROMs on my computer and most are for the Playstation version...should probably label these better. Updated submission

You forgot to add genre on movie category.

Sorry for the bump, but I didn't feel it worthwhile to create a new topic for a small thing. The TAS misses a shortcut in the last non-boss level (getting the missing statue piece back): At 16:26 in the youtube encode, you can break through the horizontal wall in the far north-west part of the area, exiting north. The new path has a some of its own platforming involved, but you skip pushing the two blocks, so I'm sure it's faster.
