New upcoming game, another platformer.

To fill in for the void of "program showcase", that being not enough programs to showcase, I'm making a new "ASCII Platformer" type game. Basically a sequel to "ASCII Platformer", yet with more features and a more "story mode"-ish type of feel. Features and to do:

• Jumping
• Complete map features (like moving between stages)
• Heads up display
• Flying power up/hack/dev route/something where the player can fly around or have double jump or something (idea:Minxrod)

This is just kind of like a heads up for whats to come, but recommendations and stuff would also be nice.

Sounds cool! Add a hack mode where you can fly maybe XD IDK that's my recommendation

This could be a metroid-vania game! ^{Not unlike Cave Island...} with a map on the bottom and stuff you can't get until you have something else! My suggestion is an Item that lets you go through certain blocks when on and go through others when off. (think of the Red/Blue Orbs in A Link to the Past but Portable)

Your idea is considerable, yet I've already tried that, and it did not really work. I'll keep trying that idea out until it eventually works, because it's not a bad idea at all.
