Dr. Mancell and Mr. Flame

Short homage game to go with the song collaboration between Waterflame and Josh Mancell, composer of the original Crash Bandicoot! Just in time for Halloween and also the 30th anniversary (unintentionally)!

We always thought the boss fights of the original classic games like these were the most fun part but too short and unsatisfying.  This scratches that itch and lets you duke it out in an unending 1v1 fashion with the boss continuously escalating in difficulty! The attacks are also in sync with the music, so there are elements of rhythm game play as well.

Controls are the same as the classic PS1 Games! Best with a controller!

Move: D-Pad (on controller), WASD, Arrow Keys
Jump: X (on controller), Spacebar
Spin: Square (on controller), F/R, Mouse-Click
Crouch/Slide: Shoulder Buttons (on Controller), Shift
High Jump: Slide + Jump

And yes, holding jump button longer affects the jump just like the original (not remake) games! We did our best to pay attention to details of the original games such as the jump being longer if you hold the button and landing being based on flat-collision instead of capsule.  We added a few bonuses and easter eggs as well.

The game is also on Newgrounds and Roblox!
