Fan Game Mega Man DXtreme (Mega Man Xtreme 1 fan-remake) is out!

Xtreme is alright, but Xtreme 2 is way better. Hope they keep up with the project in order to make it.
Xtreme 2 is really good albite flawed, a proper remaster could make it even better.
 
i remember this being really annoying on GBC vs just playing on SNES, less buttons (no dash button, no L/R weapon change) and of course much harder to see where you're going, but the levels were made much smaller to compensate (not a plus to me)
also having to beat the game 3 times since you don't fight every boss until the "extreme mode" the 3rd time (tbf you see them all through normal and hard though)
i applaud the developers of extreme 1 and 2 though, but it's not the best way to play this.
not even mentioning the amazing soundtrack getting butchered

okay upon playing the DXtreme version, you have SNES music as a choice,
dash button and weapon L/R buttons are there

and the story dialog scrolls SUPER fast. the fade in/outs are much faster (i remember this being the main reason i didn't like it on GBC felt slower and slow dialog/fades didn't help)
the game is much smoother and faster, you can actually dash jump (hold dash while jumping or kicking off a wall) which was impossible on GBC
maybe just me but it feels harder? maybe it's already on hard mode or something, the first intro stage boss killed me 3 times before i actually beat him.
menu layouts are quite better for the bigger screen size
and also you can do all 8 stages on the first run (GBC normal mode had 4 bosses, hard mode unlocked after that had the 4 other stages, extreme unlocked after hard had all 8)
also, that player X on the bottom right... doesn't do anything yet but i'll see when i finish the game

OKAY games definitely much harder,
armored armadillo is SUCH an asshole on this DX version a lot of those moves are NOT in the original game at all (shooting bullets WHILE he bounces around? the HELL)
i always did that stage first on SNES so def not a skill issue, they gave the boss way more skill if anything
chill penguin stage you don't get a robot to pilot (you get one in SNES)
boss fight penguin when he does blizzard ice falls from above, there's no safe spot kinda BS
i'm not liking how much harder this is so far and those were 2 of the easiest stages on MMX

this just feels like a "hard mode" hack, every bosses new moves are SUPER annoying to dodge
the stages seem to have more enemies, i don't remember peacocks throwing razor blades on mandrills stage. the only good part is the stages are shorter like on GBC so rushing to a checkpoint seems to work fine for annoying sections.

btw ALL the secrets are different now, use this video
you wouldn't guess the chill penguin one LOL no way.

body armor on armored armadillo stage (on the last rolling platform section jump up above the boss door) this ABSURDLY makes you take much less damage! i don't see how i'd continue through the game without it,
leg upgrade chill penguin stage, in the section with mech suit enemies, go above and ride one of the logs the enemy is launching to the left, breaks blocks with legs (need this for subtank in spark stage),
head upgrade, storm eagle, i think you need bubble weapon (armadillo) to break the explosives to reach it, break blocks with head,
buster upgrade, spark mandrill stage, one of the dark sections you can break blocks above with head upgrade, lets you charge higher and all weapons have a charge attack
you want all those ASAP, this DX game is too hard, and i'm saying that as someone who beat megaman 1-9, x1-8, zero and all ZX games...
