I'm running it on my Mac via Parallels if that helps.

Ta... so not "proper" native... have you had any issues with any previous games?

Uploaded a new version with "release" flag set. Could you please try again... if the bug happens again could you please create a GIF or video of it.

Yep, I'll see what I can do. Never had a problem with any other compo game so far running it via parallels but mostly i've used my cheap,crap laptop to run the games until the last couple of competitions. I'll see if i can replicate it in your updated version.

LOL! Can't have it too easy... I remember these 8-bit games being very hard to complete!

Did you ever play the originals?

Very true, and yes I've only had a quick couple of goes so far, but I thought ooo this is a tricky game.

Sorry to say the problem still seems to be there. Randomly it just goes back to the first room after death and there's no player on screen so you have to quit the game. I took a screenshot if it helps. If I'm the only person who's having the problem then maybe it's just a parallels/Mac thing. On the plus side, when I have been able to play, I've almost managed to get to the 3rd screen...... Almost :)

Dam  :( Sorry that is happening... (or maybe you have unlocked Jack's secret invisibility mode  ;))

If you want to alter the level data to see if you get a better results, please go ahead and alter assets\levels\level1data.json and change the player's x and y values:

    "objects": {
      "player": {
        "x": 8,
        "y": 350,
        "x_direction": "1",
        "endx": 0,
        "endy": 60
      },


Maybe something like:

    "objects": {
      "player": {
        "x": 20,
        "y": 350,
        "x_direction": "1",
        "endx": 0,
        "endy": 60
      },


But get ready to run straight away!

The camera in the game follows the player and the player gets recreated everytime you die... this is a strange bug... gahhh!!

I've managed to make the third screen after discovering that you can get past that nasty lazer that shoots at you on the ladder. That screen I just can't get beyond the electric sparks though. I'm useless at these type of games though, so don't judge it's difficulty on me. Would love to see a bit more of the game, though.

Top tip in case you missed it:

In the this screenie:



Near the score collectible (the green object) to the right there is a little red switch embedded into the wall - you can punch these to active things.

Great, but one (tiny) niggle is about the controls  ::)

You use space as a fire (all over the place), so one assumes that space is the default fire - NOPE it's Z or possibly X?
why not just keep things nice and simple and use space OR the defined keys

OK, next niggle is bombs
You have to go down then fire, or is it fire then down, but fire and space are not the same things?
Why not just have space/fire and it plants a bomb - simples :)

I'm sure there is a gun or maybe jump, so then that would use the fire2?

finger gymnastics (just for the sake of them - however well planned and well meaning), just becomes an irritation. when a simple single fire would do the same thing quicker and simpler

I know there is place bomb and 'kick it'. Again why not just use 3 keys. E.G. Z,X,C Where X is place bomb, Z is kick bomb to left, C is kick bomb to right :)
