Thanks! I tried to keep it as close to the original C64 version as possible.

I like it a lot :)  Is it made using the scripting engine?

All the moves for Jumpman and the letters are scripted. I just created a simple list of moves for each and synced them up.

The title screen is pretty sweet! It had me grinning watching some old school title screen shenanigans. ;D

Question for anyone following the development of Jumpman...

The original Jumpman allowed up to 4 players to play... not simultaneously though. Rather they take turns playing. When player 1 dies, player 2 gets his chance to player and so on. When the last player dies, player 1 will start with his next man.

Would this be a desired feature to implement? How many people would actually swap their calculator with a friend to play a round of Jumpman?

It doesn't seem likely that this feature we be used very much, so I'd say don't bother. A two player simultaneous mode (with special two player level sets perhaps?) might be interesting though...

I don't think that this mode has to be added.  In school, I know that there is a near-zero possibility that I would ever be able to do this (this is really the only time I have my calculator and am with other people at the same time).  I think it would be better to focus on making the single player version better than working on a multiplayer version that would rarely be used. :)

yeah, I don't think its needed...
anyway, nice title screen, but is there a way tp skip it?  I'd watch it at first, but then it might get kinda longish...
although I don't have an 89 anyway, so...  :P
great work!

I think I'd use the multiplayer option, but I only have 83 series calculators, so...

That is one epic title screen! ;D

Thanks for your input yunhua98 and ztrumpet.

Yes... The titlescreen will be preemptive; meaning you can start a game at anytime. No need to wait for the titlescreen to complete. :)
