Good day, MFGG, I hope y'all are doing well. I'm here to dump some crap and then disappear again.

I hope this is in the right forum; there's not much to see, but it might be substantial enough to not be restricted to Dev Discussion. My apologies if this is in the wrong spot. Whoops!

Anyway, around 2019 I decided I wanted to make a silly non-canon Charisma series game, but I was never able to get very far with what I ended up doing. I figured it was a bit of a shame for it to just rot on my hard drive forever, so I cleaned it up a tiny bit and uploaded it.

There's only two levels. I wanted to at least add a third (chronologically it would have been the first level) before I released this but I couldn't ever really figure out how I wanted it to work; I wanted each stage to be unique from the others.

You have three characters to choose from: Dudim, Miles, and Dustin.

If the first level is too hard or annoying, you can press the 3 key at the menu screen to skip to the last level. Alternatively, there is a secret debug function to restore your health in-level, but good luck finding it. You may also press 2 on the menu screen to go back to the first level, if for some reason you want to do that. Do not press 1 on the menu screen.

Please don't spam the enter key from the title screen or the game will break.

It will definitely not be immediately apparent what you're supposed to do for the first boss; just give it a minute and it'll become very obvious very fast.

For the second level, each character behaves very differently. Dudim has a double jump, and Miles will get one if a certain condition is met. Dustin can't jump on enemies.

Controls are the default Clickteam layout: Shift is button 1, Control is button 2, (both do different things for each character) but you can rebind them. You can set a controller to be used too but you can't rebind the buttons on it.

I've disabled fullscreen because Clickteam Fusion sucks at it by default and I'm not interested in finding an extension that makes it not change your screen resolution, for a feature I imagine no one is likely to use.

Notice before you download: This game is not epilepsy-safe. Also, it's very likely to be picked up by Windows Defender as malware, since for some reason Clickteam games commonly cause that. Also also, it has nothing to do with Rush, which I am actually completely unfamiliar with, despite the title and icon.

Here it be (via Dropbox, if you trust that site; link should hopefully be a straight download). You should really not expect a quality experience. Maybe someone will have fun with it, I dunno. There's maybe a couple of Club Saturn injokes, like the title of the first stage you can play, so I apologize if that's weird for you.

If it wasn't clear by the weird title, this is indeed a sort of boss rush.

Whether or not you check it out, I wish you a great day, dearest reader of this post.

I forgot to post a comment here. Thanks for sharing this - I'm glad this finally saw the light of day! It's fun to see another Charismatic thing.

Game design is definitely on the tough side, but it is creative and fun. My only complaint is I'd think about tweaking Dustin's plane - it's a bit underpowered and harder to maneuver compared to the other aircraft options.
Course clear! You got a card.

He'll insist it isn't, but this is actually the truly final canonical ending to the Charisma series as we know it, I have officially decided.

God bless, friends. May you have goodness (and Boss Rush) in your soul.

That's truly high praise coming from you, I appreciate it!

But like... the game is unfinished. There's straight up a screen in the game telling you this, after you finish the two short levels. It simply cannot be canon.

I admire your humbleness but I literally released Charisma games back in the day that were also unfinished and declared them canon. Anything can be canon to Charisma, that isn't a disqualifier imo. That nonsense had no internal logic.

But also, if you declare it non-canon, then I guess it doesn't have to be. Maybe it was all a bad dream that Dustin had, after eating too much ice cream...
