EBF5: Flybots

Here’s some new Flybots!
I think the robot enemies will be a bit more colorful this time. They were all very gray in EBF4.

EBF5 Current Foe Count: 80

Here’s a bonus Flybot that was lost in a crash. I didn’t like him anyway.

    I really can’t wait for EBF5 i am already proud of Kupo from EBF 3 and 4 and i hope 5 is gonna be even better. What i’ve seen this far it looks promising but i hope this one has holy attack what hits all foes cuz EBF 3 and 4 didn’nt expect the limit break Genesis and you could add some lil more powerful water magics but that’s just my opinion good luck Kupo on the game creating and i hope you’ll keep on good work on keeping the series up i’m looking worward to buy the games from steam as i did for EBF4 anyways good luck

    Maybe u should add the flybot in a different design, maybe like a scanbot remake? Or and optional scanbot boss might be a cool concept, scanning your skills and using them against you? :wut:

    Wait, how did you get the screenshot if the green Flybots were lost in a crash? You made at the time before the crash? Why? Do you normally do that?

        You can decompile SWFs into FLAs using JPEXS (free) or SoThink (paid/trial) easily, no need to redo from scratch.
        If it wasn’t inside a Movie Clip, you could just Import SWF to Stage from inside Flash and get all the contents, except tweens. Tweens would become plain keyframes.
        Come on, Matt, +1 enemy to beat EBF4 sooner! :hurray:

          What you can do with a decompiler is still somewhat limited as far as I can tell. The process isn’t perfect, and even if it was I’d still lose all of my symbol names etc, and the resulting .fla would be very hard to work with.

            Yeah, that’s true, I’ve mostly seen pretty horrid results. It’s merely for retrieving lost vector drawings though (and other resources, sound, bitmaps, etc). Animation – to an extent. A desperate extent.

    I really like that a lot of the enemies have a happy animation for when they are healed.

    The flee button it’s for no need to fight against weak enemies ? Like happens in Earthbound ? Sorry if my english is bad

    Pretty awesome. Both cool and cute looking. And I agree with this direction, the new robots are very nice looking and break the monotony.

    One major thing I am not sure about though is the snow-drone’s attack 4. Its not bad, I just feel that that specific ice crystal design would be better for a more ‘magical’ ice attack. For the drone I feel a billow of snow would be much more fitting and a lot better for that particular drone design.

    Also, a moment of silence for the crashed drone. He looked really cool, and the green would’ve rounded out the color pallet quite nicely. Perhaps his design can be used for something else.

    Nice!

    However…

    – Aw, the green flybot is my favorite… 😥

    – Kill All button is gone? Why? I preferred to kill all the enemies at once, then click “intro” again to get just a single one to focus on.

    – Are you going to post the updated version of the first boss, or keep it secret?

      I dunno if I’ll repost the boss. Maybe later.

      I’ll bring the Kill All button back, I guess.

    Love the sound effects! And the little 1s and 0s that float off when they’re hit are nice too! It’s the little things…

    Personally the bonus one was my favorite, but the other ones are good. It would be cool to having some flying boss like these.

    It’s a shame the green one got cut, he’d have fit right in :c
    What sort of special abilities would the green one have?

    These are all very well done, some of my new favorite enemies that you’ve shown so far! The bonus one looks very nice, they all are really detailed and very colorful, excellent work as always! :yay:

    I thought the extra flybot was pretty cool 😥
    Some really colourful desings, huge improvement from last game’s which were already amazing. Nice sound effects, and little details such as the trailing numbers when the enemies are hit or on certain attacks. Keep up the brilliant work! :coffee:
