Nice game 10/10, because of the idea, wall jump and textures!

Bugs:

The orginal wc3 music plays along with the custom music from newgrounds.

> The orginal wc3 music plays along with the custom music from newgrounds.
I know. If anyone has ideas how to prevent that from happening, please, do tell me.

 

[PureOwnage]

How about stopping music at the start and then playing your music?
Does that work?

 

[Uberplayer]

It's already there. Clearly it didn't work out.

EDIT:// I am playing the music as a sound. That might be the reason. I couldn't hear it when I used it as a music. But now that I think about it, I have WC3 musics turned off.

I'm so bad at this. I can't even beat the first level.

Haha, good luck with this! :thup:

Are you serious? If so, please tell me what is the hard part in it ?

The song takes up basically all of the file size
You could change the wisp to a footman or something. If you could rotate the footman that is. If not. Just make more challenges.

The movement seemed buggy because:

• When I tapped the arrow, I didn't move at all (sometimes)
• My movement was delayed when I did move
• The wisp stopped after I released the key

Maybe it's because my computer was from the Roman times? It seems to be regular delay. I've never experienced it on Single-Player though.

Oh, almost forgot. +Rep. Great map

If you were playing a game that was hosted by someone else, you get key lag.

That's what's weird.
I used "Test map".
Single player. Just me.

So I'm assuming it's a problem with the map. (Although, as no-one else has reported this. I think it's my [del]scrap metal[/del] computer.)

Save up a good $700, and make yer own kick-@$$ computer!
Won't be super kick-@$$, but plenty good if you know what you're doing.

And Uber, give a small explaintion about the gravity settings. I just messed with them and I had a super slow fall.

> When I tapped the arrow, I didn't move at all (sometimes)
WC3 does not detect the key press immediately. The Wisp accelerates, that is now 0.8125 per 0.02 seconds. So it's not immediately the 16.00.

> My movement was delayed when I did move
Delayed like what. When you pressed the key? Answer would be same for this.

> The wisp stopped after I released the key
Should it continue moving? It "acclerates back" to 0.00, when both keys are either pressed or released.

> So I'm assuming it's a problem with the map.
I have no idea what could cause this. Really.

> And Uber, give a small explaintion about the gravity settings. I just messed with them and I had a super slow fall.
There is only one setting for gravity. That is the GRAVITY constant in the Movement Engine. 1.00 is the default (falls 1.00 per 0.03125 seconds (changed to 0.02 now)).

Cisz from eletd.com helped me with some maths in this. Without him this would've taken a lot longer.

One suggestion, the second level jumping part is REALLY hard. (The part when your at the left of the level)
Can you make it easier?
That's why I suggested wall jumps.

 

[Uberplayer]

> One suggestion, the second level jumping part is REALLY hard.
Probably was easy to me, because I have gone it about 100 times ..

> Can you make it easier?
I am currently redesigning every level.

EDIT://Fixed leaking multiboarditems.

1: Song size can be reduced greatly, but at the cost of minor sound changes.

-Get Audacity

-Change it's rate to something high, this makes the file size smaller but makes the song really fast.

-Import

-Slow down the song in WE, and it'll sound kinda normal.

2: You can find the songs they use for music, and replace with your song, or just blank those out with blank music files.

 

[Samael88]

A really awesome idea.
If you can make the controls smoother, then do it ffs!

Else there where not much to complain about.
Is the wall jump supposed to be there?

If you come to the edges between the blocks in the walls you can jump, It saved me plenty times

Good luck on this project

I give it :thup::thup::thup::thup: out of :thup::thup::thup::thup::thup:
for inovation and for the sake of good fun

 

[Uberplayer]

> If you can make the controls smoother, then do it ffs!
Smoother in what way. It's already smooth. If it was any smoother at all, it would look like the ball was moving on ice.

> Is the wall jump supposed to be there?
It's not possible that one codes wall jump without knowing it.

Great game, so it can be depressing at times.
I really enjoyed playing it, the graphics are cool and the gameplay simple yet enjoyable. A clever use of camera angles.
Good job Uberplayer.

Version 1.0 out! (read the change log)

Download, play, comment. Also, post screenshots of the times it took you to complete the levels. (shown when you're defeated or you when you won)

 

[Artificial]

You should seriously add an option to skip the tutorial (I had to edit the tutorial not to show those instructions ).
And more levels. And the option to skip levels you've completed already.

Anyway, I took a screenshot of my times 'cause you asked to (I hope my times are good enough?).

I love the way the fake blocks get more transperent. <3
In the levels of the new version I didn't like the thing that you can fall to death in so many places (why I didn't like it is that I very often died because of that ), although it does add more challenge. ^__^

Edit: Removed the screenshot (times were 17, 15, 31).

Game Engine, second global blocks, Level to 1.

> And more levels.
It was fu**ing 4am. (I really thought it'd take only few hours )

> And the option to skip levels you've completed already.
I didn't see it needed, since there are actually only 2 levels currently.

> Anyway, I took a screenshot of my times 'cause you asked to (I hope my times are good enough?).
Nice. My records are 9 seconds for 1st, and 27 seconds for 2nd.

It seems that the current levels are too easy.
