Ah right I see why it looked so hard. You should maybe include this version of the level as bonus level, though, for challenge purposes.

That is actually a GREAT idea! And to add to that...after completing all 30 (or so) levels, I could give the option of replaying all levels again with more bullets, zig-zag bullets, hailstones, and jumping blocks to every level. Basically, increasing the overall difficulty of the every level.

I second both ideas. A level editor could be fun too.

Read: Ranman is too lazy to do it manually and is leaving the entire work to others.

Just kidding, it will be cool to create our own levels I think. Just make sure if you implement a level editor to keep it separate so people who don't want to create levels don't need to install it and also make sure it remains user-friendly.

As always, I appreciate everyone's comments and support.

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I expect my doctor will release me to go back to work. So, Jumpman progress will slow down a bit when that happens.

I still have enemies, enemy waypoints, moving bombs, moving platforms, falling girders, moving ladders, triggers (that cause an action to occur), doors, gunfiring & arrow shooting by Jumpman to implement before the engine is complete.

I am considering releasing a beta with a subset of levels before I get all of the above items completed.

Ah ok, I hope things goes well. Hopefully you might find a bit of time to work on it from time to time afterward. Good luck Ranman!

And just when I thought...

Nice! And I think someone already said this before, but you work really fast

Great
I hope that all those kinds of bombs and enemies don't end up all together in the same level, because such a level would be really hard

(I miss the first version of Grav, whose learning curve was gentler than the final version - to my tastes, the final version was too hard and thus, frustrating)

Jumpman offers a perfect level of difficulty for all players. In general, the higher the level, the more difficult it is. That is one thing that makes it so much fun!

If you are able to save games at a certain state, it would be cool to have a tremendously hard level

I'm sure I will implement some sort of save feature. However, since each Jumpman level can be completed in less than one minute, I'm not sure it would be worth the programming effort to save in the midst of a level.

WOW.

The amount of things you could do with *this engine alone* is incredible...but I get the feeling you're not done yet
