The Remake
He-Man, Man-At-Arms, BattleCat, Sorceress, Skeletor, Evil-Lyn, She-Ra , Ram-Man , Teela and Lion-O are playable now.
Characters requests or special moves requests are welcomed especially now when i’m creating characters and figuring out all animations and special moves.
Archive contains openbor engine to run the game, exe is for windows and apk file is for android.It is possible to play on other platforms like Linux, Mac or Wii, because engine is ported to many different platforms.
Windows version is ready to play, just run openbor exe and it will play he-man.pak file inside a paks folder.
Android APK version neeeds to be installed on android device first.
You need at least 1.5ghz device or dualcore like galaxy s2 to play the game, its in 960×480 resolution and older phones cant handle it (first galaxy i9000 cant) and gameplay is choppy , skipping frames and overall not that enjoyable.
After installation you should run openbor engine once to create all required folders on sdcard, then exit openbor (it wont run the game cause all data is inside of pak file)
Move pak files from paks folder of the archive to paks folder in openbor folder on your sdcard, then move touch.txt to saves folder which is in openbor folder.Touch.txt is config file to display touch buttons on android but it’s not required, it’s to place buttons where you like them to be.
Now if you have he-man pak in paks folder then you can run openbor again and it should work, i tested it many times on my phone.
Linux,Mac and Wii versions are in their own folders, you need to move he-man.pak to paks folder after you install them because pak file contains all game data.
Game is also playable on other platforms, just download latest archive from here, it has all other platforms , then just move he-man.pak to paks folder.
