Heh, thanks.

Does anyone else think that gory deaths shoul be added if there are new graphics? I think that would be cool.

[AKSuperNewb]

Yeah, the sequence break is at the first door in the second level. If you time it right, you can go back and get the end-of-level thingy. I only did it once, but it was pretty easy. I then beat the level straight.

Oh, and yes, gory deaths would be very fitting.

[TheUltimate]

Hmm... I thought I fixed that a while ago because you stop while the doors are opening.

Edit: And should I go create my own level 1 graphics? (Style will be similar to level 2, but a different setting) Cause if you think it'll improve my game, I'm gonna do it...
Edit edit: Melle1's game works now. Go try it.

Yeah I think your graphics for level 2 were great, so make level 1's too, if you have the time.

Personally, though, I think you should completely re-build the graphics - getting rid of sonic and everything, as I think it would work better then.

(Others may disagree, so ask them first...)

Yeah - please add gore to the deaths - this would open a whole host of possibilities for new types of death - harpooned, impaled on spikes, crushed, beheaded etc..

[TheUltimate]

Yeah, I've been kinda hesitant about the blood and stuff... I find that if I put it in, it would shift the atmosphere from fun and surprising, like I was aiming for, to more dark-ish. It'd probably distract you from the obstacles too, like you're watching the blood splattering around and not the thing that got you. That, and the fact that probably half the people I know won't play through it if it's gory. I guess it'd be different if I was a guy, huh?
But you do have a point about being able to add different kinds of deaths. It's still a possibility though, so don't be discouraged.

P.S. I already made different graphics for level 1, but I'm gonna see if there's anything else to fix before I update anything here.

[Melle1]

Well I'm still waiting on Level 3, so toodles

[AKSuperNewb]

You could go with a "comic gore" or "cartoon gore" style. Look at Skydiver Mach II (the yoyogames version, 'cause I think they took the gore out of the IOS version) to see what I mean. I do like the idea of different deaths depending on what you got hit with.

[junhalestone]

Yeah that would be a good move, I think. It's not overly violent or gross, it's just funny!

[Vivi_IX]

Just beat the second level. The first one was so much more easy with that new checkpoint.
Level 1:
04:43:46
-23 Lives

Level 2:
22:04:02
-97 Lives

I beat it with keyboard this time and not my traditional mouse&keyboard . I came across a couple glitches you may or may not know:
Level 2, win the falling platform area if you jump on the edge of the platform before first falling block, sometimes you'll warp to the edge of the level (the tunnel you jump down after the falling block), it ends up killing you though.
Level 2, if you try to jump back onto the that platform the changes red, yellow, green, by that room with the people chatting, sometimes you'll kinda warp right beneath the laser. I think the only way to get out is to kill yourself.

If anything those bugs kinda add on to your game (don't do stuff you're not supposed to do) and since they both kill you and there seems to be no way to exploit them, I don't think they are much to worry about.

Also, at the end where you have to go back to the start: I had the key. I just had to fight the door a bit. It didn't open the first time I went to it so I thought maybe I missed something.

[junhalestone]

Yeah - that part with the key was a tiny bit confusing. Could you make it more obvious when you have it? I kept trying to return on the flashing green/red/yellow platform, but couldn't - it took me a couple of minutes to work it out.

(I suppose that adds to your game's 'impossibility').

[SuperiorInferior]

URGHH XD I had to give up, regardless as my seriously want to finish it, when that yellow block betrayed me I couldn't cope ;D Well done!

I can't really suggest anything to improve it, it does what it says, makes your head explode with rage

[yingyay]

Beat the second stage!
"This is....." <---- Best part of the stage. I could not help but laugh
I honestly loved every bit of the 2nd stage, the core place was awesome! Love that spotlight effect.
Keep it going!

[bllaahh]

This game is so hard but it makes it even better to play. I don't know why the second level is easier then the first one though. It just doesn't feel continuous. At least you put the cheat to go to the other level because it makes life easier
To answer your question I like the second level better because it feels more like your game, and less like you're trying to copy a sonic game. I know its not a copy at all, its just some pictures that are same, but that's just the first impression it gives when that happens. Keeping knuckles would be ok. The second question, I think you could keep it the way it is because i really think blood and guts really aren't necessary in a game like this. It would ruin the smoothness of the game and your concentration on obstacles if you bleed all over the place everywhere and start looking at that.
And ducking under the bad guys like in your screenshot video... would of never thought of that.

[ash47]

Damn that was annoying! I gave up pretty fast lol

[Captain Mangoes]

I am definitely not good at platformers, so I feel kind of proud of myself for getting to that picture that was in the gif of screenshots. Where it says, "don't step here" "or here".

You know, that place within about two seconds of starting the game

[TheUltimate]

Whoa, more replies!

Melle1:
I have exactly three floor objects and some graphics in level 3 right now, so you'd probably have to wait a bit before it's done. It'll be just as good or better than level 2 though.

Junhalestone and AKSuperNewb:
Haha okay, okay, since you guys keep asking so nicely, I'll see what I can do. It might not be done for a while because I'll have to adjust a lot of programming, and do I ever mean a lot. As in 85% of the objects.
What's everyone think about that? Good?

Vivi_IX:
Nice.
Also I'll make the door easier to open since it always took me two passes to do it. Or did you like having to figure it out? I sure did.

SuperiorInferior:
Didya try level 2? Maybe you'll like it better.

yingyay
Hey what was your time? Seems like you have a game too and I could link it there like I did with the others.

bllaahh
Thanks for the input. I'm changing the level 1 graphics anyway, so it'll be even more of my game! And if I ever do decide to put the blood and stuff (because people have been asking me... yeah.) I'll take the middle road and let you turn it on in the options if it ends up working.

ash47
Geez man, that's really harsh! Only one star??? It's meant to be a challenge, and you realize this is my first game, right, Mr. Over-A-Thousand-Posts? It's not meant to be the next Tomb Raider or Splinter Cell like that other guy was complaining about. I suggest trying level 2 also, since even I like the graphics and gameplay and stuff better.

Captain Mangoes
You don't like platformers and you still tried this? Wow, thanks a lot. You made it pretty far for someone who doesn't play these kinds of games. Did you try the second level too? There's sort of a "cheat code" for it.

Great I'll look forward to it, I love to design characters, and enemies, request some of my art and i'll post some.

I don't htink ash 47 is being mean, it seems he gives very bad ratings to every game. Maybe he dosnt know how to say some thing nice because he always says what he does not like. you're game is the second highest Ive seen so he must like it alot.

Lol i keep forgettign to record my time, I'll run thru it again this weekend and post it here. Yeah I have a game out but there isnt much content in it, so I wouldnt expect it ti be a huge hit. Fighting games and platforms alike a hard to work on by yourself.
