Haha on the first post, when I mentioned modes, what that is is pretty much different graphics styles, like your character sprite changes, and all the tiles take on a different shape. There's a retro graphics mode, and your character has a cool tail looking thing (slightly different from the screenie in the first post, I changed it to look less like a blatant Graviter rip off), there's a smiley face mode, where you have a bunch of little black smiley faces that follow you around (you can throw them), there's a zero-gravity mode, meant to simulate outer space, there's a jumping bean - type mode, and the final mode is a reverse gravity mode, and you turn into a space ship.

Yeah, it's a little weird :) Should be fun, tho. (I hope)

Okay, I have a nice 4-scale menu screen up and running, but I'm on vacation right now, so I can't post any screenies yet.

Hm, so it's kind of like part-simul,part-graviter/sandland....interesting..I'm impressed as to how many game elements you managed to fit in....you've got the bullet/arrays along with what looks like tile masking and/or intelligent collision checks, etc. Nice job.

So will these different modes aid in solving levels/puzzles?
EDIT: Just saw the screenies. Never mind.

Thanks! and no, the menu's a little faster on-calc. I'm releasing it as an app or as a 1450(ish) byte program. Also, I didn't put it in img tags to prevent browser lag...wouldn't have made much difference but whatev.

Thanks! Haha well that's kind of funny because I took heavy inspiration from those three games. All the collisions are completely pixel based, so I didn't "need" the tilemap, per se, it is entirely dependent on pxl-test() commands.

How do you run the game????

In WabbitEmu it freezes on launch (using Doors CS btw)

EDIT: Nvm, apparently it only runs on real hardware... O.O

Do you use Fullrene ? Programs with Fullrene crash on Wabbit (at least on my computer) while they run on my calc.

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.
