Testing! Can you tell me which camera you like best? (press 1 and 2 to change) Personally I prefer the default, 1. http://games.xzist.org/files/t … rpleWIP-0.1.zip A screen shot to tempt you:  The possible future: - falling platforms - spiders to avoid - nuts to collect - and a high score table  also any other comments on the control system?

The problem with camera 2 is that when you are in the air you can still turn your camera, which either results in shaking or some other strange effect when you strike down. Maybe you could lock mouse input for camera 2 while in the air? Otherwise yeah I like 1 too, but I can imagine that there are situations that some things aren't very well visible, while they *would* be visible with camera 2. Conclusion: Make 1 default, Fix 2, keep 2 as an option. ____________ Personal website: http://www.loijson.com |

I like 2 best. But have it toggleable anyway. Good start, time to make a game out of it! ____________ laffo |

OK. I have another question. But first... A SCREENSHOT!!  And another WIP: http://games.xzist.org/files/t … rpleWIP-0.2.zip I think I've fixed any camera issues. My question: How can I make this FUN? If such a thing is possible. What makes a game fun? At the moment I like it and would play it for the sake of the Squirrel, in His Purpleness, and the mushrooms, also in their Purpleness. But I can't see anyone else playing it, even with the inevitable high score table

Have something chasing the swirrel, something like a snake that can go between the mushrooms.

Loads of powerups! Things that flash and squeak! Particles left right and centre and more dynamic scenery! Also cute music again.  [Edited on May 4, 2007 by Fiona] ____________ laffo |

pastels are a little bland imo, but interesting game concept Its just annoying that sometime when you jump mushrooms, a new spider descends blocking all possible paths, the mushrooms behind you drop and youre forced to jump onto a spider and lose all your nuts.

I used up the "Fun & Quirky Loops" in run rabbit Quote: Its just annoying that sometime when you jump mushrooms, a new spider descends blocking all possible paths, the mushrooms behind you drop and youre forced to jump onto a spider and lose all your nuts. That might be tricky to change... but I'll see.
