As long as it takes. I've actually made a little BETA in wich I put a few characters and some controls. I haven't done the animations yet, and I need to put in sound. But hey, it's a beta!
If ya wanna try this little beta i've posted it as an attachment. There's still a lot of bugs though. To exit the game walk into the mine.
Oh, and to people who say, what's this piece of crap?, don't worry the sprite's will get better.
EDIT: ah it's too big. I'll com up with something...
