thanks, it reminds me of blockdude too :D

so anyways, I'll put a finished Alpha up later today, have to finish a proper demo level's design first :D

final updates:
there are new things to this game; before there were just blocks and keys, now there's also bombs, kegs, and torches.  There are one each per level, and once you have all three you can go past breakable rocks.  There's also the gem -- you need to get it and put it in it's respective door,and you beat the level.  Sounds complex, eh? :D

Also, new tiles: spikes, improved one way blocks (now 3 directions), 1ups, and a few other pleasant things ;)

I hope you guys will enjoy the aplha I'll put up later today :D

The GIF seems nice. Is the game in Calculator as slow as the GIF?

Thanks, might be until tomorrow morning till I post it though -- level designing is taking a LOONNG time, as a 60x60 level is pretty massive O.o At least methinks

Ugh, level designing x.x, I hate that part sometimes. Sometimes I feel in a map making mood, but most of the time I just can't stand it X.x

Good luck!

I love the map making, I've been waiting for the time I could finally do this :D

I mean, it's annoying at times, but so far it's cool in pyyrix :D

I'm at a robotics thingie right now.  I'll upload the alpha soon in about 1 hour I guess.  Still need to finish transfering drawn level to game.

Sorry about my bad spelling, I'm on a friends laptop with horrible keyboard :(

Well, here it is: The pyyrix ALPHA! :D

NOTE: new mechanics: there are 4 new ITEMS.  These are the bomb, keg, torch, and gem.  Once you get the first three, you can go through certain types of rocks to continue on in the level.  To win, you need to collect the gem and put it in the gem door.  Included is the program and the appvar level (the appvar MUST reside in RAM for this to work)

This level is actually hard for people unfamiliar to Pyyrix's mechanics (everybody but me :P) and I doubt you can beat it in less than 50 tries.  I however, can beat it in 1 shot :P

And that's after making it easier for you guys to actually be able to get used to the gameplay so you'll be able to do much harder levels in the future :D

Well, enjoy!

Very nice!  (and hard!)  I noticed a bug though, but it doesn't actually affect gameplay.  (look at my screenie.)

Review:
Difficulty:  10/10  hard enough to keep me bust for a couple of weeks.  ;)
Effort:  The author obviously put a lot of effort in this game!  Partly because I know he coded it for 5 hours today.  :P
Replay Value:  Haven't really gone far enough yet.  but probably a 9-10/10
Speed:  10/10  well, its Axe, what do you expect?
Controls:  9/10 logical, but they are quite sensitive.  ;)
Graphis:  9/10 the tiles look great!  the character could do with some slight modifying.  ;)
Overall: 9.5/10  Great game so far!  :D

the bug is that when you go down that first downward ladder, and you come back up, the top row of blocks dissappear, it doesn't really matter thoguh.  Great Game!  ;)

EDIT:  yes, I suck at it.  :P

The Game is only a demo, the code that allows one to win hasn't been done.

Nice to see an alpha. I'll try it soon. However, from the screenshot, key response seems too sensitive, you might want to add some delay between the first left/right keypress when not in the air. Nice level so far, it seems, by the way. :) Keep up the good work!

Here's the appvar level fixed up in certain spots, nearer to the gem due to some difficulty problems (no, up to the torch is fine ;))

Please if you download the first download, get this one too if you actually want to beat the level.
