Dooba's Adventure (2004)

This is the oldest surviving Sylvie game. I was 12 years old when I made it. There are some older Sylvie games, but I think the computer they were on was thrown out or something, and they are probably lost forever.

This is the first Game Maker game I made with all original assets. Some of my older games had original assets, but they were not made in Game Maker, and some of my older games were made in Game Maker, but they were fangames and used sprites/music made by others.

The game itself is about as weird and janky as you might expect. Read the help file carefully for some gameplay hints. After each boss, you get a new powerup, but sometimes the message explaining what the powerup is doesn't appear. These are the powerup texts in order:

"You got the Borg Shield move! Right click to shield yourself! Don't use it for too long though, because the health meter will begin to increase."

"You got the Heart Stone! Dooba can now take more than one hit."

"You got the Super Beam! This is an insanely strong beam weapon. It doesn't get better than this.Now go beat the Dark Borg!"
