Nice game! :) The tutorial was cool! You must've took quite some time to complete it.

Yeah, as everyone mentioned, the delay in key pressing events is really frustrating at times. This reminds me of a game created by 2-P. Can't remember the name though.

You want sound effects? I can provide some if you want to. They're all low qualities wav files from various arcade games. I forgot where I download them from though.

> 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.

I meant less delay-ish. I thought that smooth was the word for it.
On my comp there is a 1-1.2 second delay between pressing the key and the unit actually moving:eek:

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

One can never be to certain with all these bugs around. They sneak up on you when you least expect it and crap up your code:p

I've had some weird bugs. When I skipped the intro really fast it faulted one of my lives. And, I noticed that if you go too fast into a wall you can't wall jump.

I never experienced that. I'll look into it.

Same with this.

The next version has some major changes in it. But it won't be here in any time soon.

I think I see how it does it. I pressed esc before the actual game elapsed, when it just finished loading, and it did it.

Edit: Yep, if you press esc just as the music plays on the loading screen it does it.

Make this multiplayer :O

And make it restart you to the beginning when you lose all lives (I mean to Intro/Level 1 -- Its annoying to have to restart the entire game to just play it again)

This is almost exactly like Platform Escape if none of you have played Platform Escape you should because you can do multiple wall jumps, really fun game.

First off, I think the map is one of the best mini-game style maps I've ever played. I made it to level 3, but didn't bother to check my time out.

I got frustrated alot with falling down in the pits and completely losing a life lol.

Heres an idea for the movement system, because personally it was the only thing I had trouble with:

-Make it where when releasing left or right key, it just slows it down gradually instead of basically completely stopping it.
-Make it where the down arrow key makes the wisp stop, this way the slow down thing is better.

No, this was asked before. I am not planning to do that, because the delay with pressing keys in multiplayer is horrible.

> This is almost exactly like Platform Escape
Almost exactly like, but in every way different. True. And what KC already said..

> The only thing that needs a change is to make the camera movement smoother
The game was already quite timer intensive (my fault, bad coding), so I won't change it now. If I ever make enxt version, I'll make it smoother.

> Make it where when releasing left or right key, it just slows it down gradually instead of basically completely stopping it.
I thought it does that already.

> Make it where the down arrow key makes the wisp stop, this way the slow down thing is better.
Sorry, I have no idea what you meant.

Uber, he meant that you should be able to press the down arrow to make your acceleration 0.

I know someone asked about posting a video before, but mine is a little different, I thought I'd help out with the game's difficulty and post a video on how to beat it if that's ok. Just asking permission first. :thup:

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
