so basically i have stage 1 laid out. just need to add a projectile weapon to the character. and then im working on stage 2. its about a kid who gets his kids kidnapped by aliens and decides to rescue them. it will be a quick game (4-6 stages). i still need to finish the hud and at this point its one hit game over.

You're off to a good start! I like the sprite of your main character.

My only piece of advice right now is be mindful that many older CRT televisions will not show the very bottom row of tiles completely. So you may want to make the bottom wall an extra layer thick so the player can find any doorways.

Good luck!

Set the "Edge object reaction" and the "Solid object reaction" of your projectile object to "Destroy Me" (= destroy the object that execute the script, here, the projectile ;))

its like pulsing balls. the only issue i have right now is the hud doesnt update health when i get hit instantly, when i go to another screen it updates, but not on the screen where the action is. im also looking into what other guys have done for projectiles here as i want to do that too for the bosses i have( the dragon and the poo)
