Version:Update 6Size:
A simple platformer made of ASCII characters. Inspired from VVVVVV, as seen in the game since you can flip gravity. I LOVE how big this game has gotten! This is getting more upvotes that I ever imagined, and more lines of code than I ever though I would put in a program! Thanks everyone who's played, everyone's who's upvoted this game, and to whoever gave me suggestions on how to make the game better! This game would not be in the position it is if it weren't for you all! THANK YOU ALL! About Moving Blocks: These blocks will be postponed in the next update until a smooth engine is whipped up. I am having technical issues with it, going to fast and collision detection not exactly working. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, anyways, enjoy the rest of the game! Moving Death has been added, but still making a proper, working engine attachment for moving platforms.

Instructions:

MAIN MENU: Directional Pad/Circle Pad: Select level. L/R Triggers: Speed Scroll A Button: Play selected level. Y Button: Load custom level in the seperate text file. X Button: Open Settings Menu. INGAME: Directional Pad: Move player A Button: Flip Gravity B Button: Quit game

Notes:

Update history stuff: -Update 1 Finished game Uploaded to the site -Update 2 Added Colour and Music Added Colour Options (doesn't save settings though) Added a couple levels -Update 3 Added BLINK BLOCKS! They teleport you three blocks in the indicated direction. Added one more level -Update 4 (oopsies) Fixed my mistake in the code. Thanks to PixelStudio for noticing the bug. -Update 5 Patch of falling through blocks (sorta) Added Key Stealer blocks. They don't kill you but they take your key and key parts. Added sounds for dying, key collection, et cetera. Added more levels! Added Key Parts and Crafting Bench! You can collect four different Key Parts and bring them to the Crafting Bench to make a Key! -Update 6 Added One Way Blocks Added More Levels Patched another glitch Added Speed Scrolling to Level Selection. Hold L/R to breeze through the levels. Added Moving Death Blocks. They will move around the map, killing the player if come into contact with them. However, they are currently only limited to one per level -Coming Soon More Levels Moving Blocks (that don't kill players) -Future plans More levels More blocks, like walls you can only go through if you have the key or not. A proper game title Fix dying Level Reading System (custom-ish level editor)

Not to bug you but found another bug :3 if you pick up enough velocity you can go through walls XD but its only a layer so It should be a huge problem
I see. I've fixed it now and I'll release it in the next update.

Hope I'm not annoying you but found a bug, on lvl 4&5 it is possible to fall outside the map and on lvl 4 if that happens you cannot re-enter the main lvl

Also I don't see any key parts or the bench to craft...

The new Key Parts are not necessary for beating a level, it's just an alternative to getting a Key. Key Parts could be found in a later level. And the bugs don't bother me by the way. They're actually good for me so I can know whats wrong.

For now, Key Parts are only on level 10. I plan to make more levels with it. And I just fixed the glitch.

I'm also hoping to increase the size of levels, so larger, more capable and riddling levels could be made. Also plan on making something close to a level editor or loader for custom levels. But one step at a time.

Thanks! Do you have any suggestions for the game? Like any new block functions or level ideas?

How about a block that you can bounce off of? Or how about arrow things that make you go one direction at about x2 speed?

But the thing is for bouncy blocks: the bouncing could not be as smooth as sprites would be, so it would kind of suck. And the Blink Blocks could just about do a similar thing. And double speed blocks... IDK. I might look into how to implement them into the game. But for now, the only things being added in the next update are One Way Blocks. Actually thinking about it though, I now have an idea for bouncy blocks, working similar to Blink Blocks but not quite. Thanks for your suggestions! I'm taking them into consideration.

What about enemy AI? But only certain levels that would make sense

Oh and moving walls that make maps harder

I've been thinking of adding moving stuff like walls. I might add moving walls, but I'll have to come up with a simple way of doing it in my code since I didn't do the simplest way of making a text games.
