Awesome! I'm happy to finally be able to play it. I'll load it on my TI-83+ soon.

Btw I just need to load everything in the archives, right? There's no readme. O.O

Hmm one suggestion before I actually try the game: it would be nice in future versions if we didn't got forced to keep playable levels in RAM, else it may be annoying to have to constantly archive/unarchive what you need/don't need.

Cool, will the level editor be available in next version?

Also are the messages at the bottom of the title screen randomized? It was different when I ran the game on my calc than Wabbit.

Yeah they're randomized for humor effects.  And the level editor will be in 1.1 for sure ;)

Well to be honest the game is nice with the features and graphics, but I give it a big 0 on difficulty. It's gone from my calc now. Too hard. Sorry. Slow the game down to 30% of the current speed.

So you don't even like it?

I like it, but only in 25% speed setting in WabbitEmu. Otherwise controlling the character and jumping on small platforms is just impossible.

Yeah I was waiting because noticing there were no readme, I assumed this was not the final version.

The rest of the game is cool, though. I just can't even get past the first area with the spikes. I always jump one platform too far. This is quite news worthy too on the site, although I still think it needs to be made in a way that some people can beat it, else the game will have a small audience (people will give up on the first level).

Another idea I have in mind is checkpoints. Once you hit one, if you die, you restart there. Also it could be nice where there are spikes to have an energy bar. If you get hit 3 times, you die, instead of instant death. Otherwise I guess it might be nice to add a save feature in the level, that can be used 3 times.

Same here. Even though I was good at it before, I'm having trouble with the first level, because it seems to be faster than before.
Glad to here you're fixing it.

Still a great game, though.

Has anyone tried the other levels? Are they easier? If so, could they maybe be re-ordered? The first one seems more like it would go better for a final level.

well, i hacked the appvar. the last level (LOBSTERS) doesn't look hard. it's like a bonus level. level 9 (Final Test) looks like it's all this:
Code: [Select]
S = spike, B = block
BSBSBSBSSBSSBSSBSSSBSSSBSSS.....

i'm going to be blunt about Endless Pit (level 8). you can't trust anything the level does. if you're falling into a pit of water, avoid the spikes which rapidly come up at you. there's a maze portion which leads to a dead end where you have to suicide on a spike.

overall, i don't like the game. i personally prefer puzzle platformers (alliteration!). pyrrix is set up to be a great puzzle platformer, but the levels are based upon your skill of tapping the arrow keys fast enough to go where you want. i think pyrrix has great potential to be a great game. but the levels are too frustrating, and i'm afraid slower key detection won't help that.

also, i have yet to figure out the difference between "thief" and "shoplifter" modes, except shoplifter = 1 and theif = 2 in the appvar.
