Can Remap Controls

I highly recommend downloading the ROM and testing it on a flash cart or on an emulator like Mesen on PC.

No Dreamcast demo for now, we need to edit the emulator to support some new features. The final game will be playable on Dreamcast through.

This is the Demo for Flea!2 

Continue Henry's adventure where FLEA! (1) left off

Your dash ability from the end of FLEA! is unlocked from the beginning in this one and you also get the new moon jump ability later in this demo. 

Jump and swim and warp your way through the over 90 new levels. 

Very much like FLEA! , FLEA!2 is a hardcore platformer where the main mechanic is that the character always jumps, and it's your job to navigate levels, this time around you start with the dash ability unlocked 2/3 of the way through FLEA! this makes things both easier and more difficult. 

Improvements include:

  • Dash ability from the start of the game
  • New Moon Jump ability
  • Animated tiles
  • Wormholes
  • New UI with Level numbers
  • More cutscenes like in Tapeworm

Bug fixes:

  • Smaller spike hitboxes
  • Better swimming controls 
  • Dash works in boss levels
  • Breakable boxes only break from top now

Fiiiniiiiiii !!

Bonjour Alastair,

Très content d'avoir enfin pu jouer au jeu complet, et c'est un régal, encore meilleur que le premier Flea !

J'adore cet univers que tu as créé et toutes ces idées de level design, tout les petits changements apportés rendent l'expérience encore plus passionnante.

La nage est plus simple, la hitbox des piques beaucoup plus agréable, le dash dès le départ du jeu fait plaisir..

Bref j'ai passé un merveilleux moment et je compte bien refaire le jeu plusieurs fois pour progresser et attraper tout le sang disponible 😁

Merci encore pour ta créativité et ton travail, bravo au reste de l'équipe (musiques au top, code, tests..) pour ce jeu de grande qualité..

Et vivement les prochains 😜

PS: Si tu retrouves une peluche de Flea je suis toujours intéressé 😉

too hard

in a good or a bad way?
The progression in the real game is a little more gradual. this was just to introduce the new mechanics and give people a challenge in the demo.

in a bad way

Being a flea is not easy tbh. This game is fun.

Loved it, super immediate! As someone else said in the comments below, it would be perfect on a portable console (playdate immediately comes to mind)

Thanks, I woudl love to get it on playdate. got a test scene up and running over there but still loads of work. our game tapeworm and chew chew mimic are already on playdate will just take much more work to bring flea 1 and 2 over. Mabie one day

I love old school arcade style games

oh hell nah man

oh interesting. did it do that just before u took the screenshot? any idea what u did to make it happen ?

I think  we've had stuff like this before but if u die or reset the screen it should be ok after ?

Hello!So I was trying to clip through the hole in the transition of level one to get that crazy jump, once I get it, I go to the small section full of pickups and everything is weird AF. He also mentioned that this happened to me on April fools, so maybe it's one of you being funny. Anyway, it's a pleasure to report this to the developers! I always play games like this and appreciate those who look for things for their players. You are welcome.

 Sincerely Pustman

Flea! 2 is amazing. I can't wait to the full game.

Context - I have not played Flea! 1

Good Stuff:

- The level design. Every room is a challenging but fair action-puzzle. Really, really good. 

-  The presentation. The art, the music, and the characters are all full of charm. 


Meh Stuff:

- The lives. I'm a bit split on this - they do a good job of keeping tension. However, the forcing players to redo levels, levels they already understand and thus can beat fairly easily, might not be the best disincentive for bad play. Also, by giving potions to skillful players, you make the game help players who are already good at the game, while hurting players who are less skilled.

-  Minor thing, but consider making the player dash regardless of whether they are moving in a direction. It rarely comes up, but when it does it makes the dash feel inconsistent.


Overall, this game is really, really good. I will definitely be checking out Flea! 1.

This game won't launch for me. Has this happened toother and is there a fix?

HI, sorry to hear its not running for u . in what way is it not working?
there should be a bit play game button at the the top of this webpage that loads the game in the browser . 

if ur trying to play the download u will need an emualtor like messen to run the game rom

Would be a great to have on a Nintendo switch.

Will be a stretch goal on the Kickstarter. Flea 1 and tapeworm are on switch, xbox, playstation as a combo called "Parasite pack" if u want a flea ix on switch :)

Sweet! I'm excited for this one. Flea is an awesome game.

(+2)

Looks great on a handheld.
I think I'll need to get some practice in on the first one.

Cool game, I can see my hair either being pulled out completely.. or I'll turn grey after completing this one... thankfully it still has that amazingly addictive nature that you just cant put down.

Thanks man, let me know what u think of the new moon jump in the last 2 levels in the demo :)

Phase 2 of lowtek games, start selling wigs :P

I liked the moon jump, certainly adds a new dynamic to the game.  Though a few levels were a little bit too difficult too complete.  Some placements are a little tricky to reach.
