So I'm finally posting a thread about my Axe parser contest entry. I do not know if I will finish it by the 16th (but most likely a demo will be done), and if that is the case I will continue to post progress afterward. I have attached the latest screenshot, showing off gravity and jumping (which is why it is in a very tall room). Please leave me feedback and give me suggestions about the game.

EDIT:
I'm reusing this topic for this year's contest entry, since I will be using the same sprites. However, I would like to assure everyone that it is an entirely new project and I'm working on it from scratch. I'm putting it here to show what the game is being based off of.

Also, It is being named AXLE. (spelled with all caps)

That looks really cool! Good luck on getting the demo done

One question, why is it that when you hit your head on that platform that you continue to go up after you get out from under it?

Thanks! As for the head thing, I liked it better with it like that (so yes, it is intentional). Do you think that I should change it?

Wow nice! And yeah about what Meishe said, I was wondering that too. I think you should change it so it won't continue going up after hitting his head. Maybe do like Mario and have him go down immediately.

Also do a lot of backups in case, not just the Axe backup tool but also on the PC, in case.

Good luck!

Well, I will try it. But yeah, I've been backing up my files on my computer, so I don't think that I'll have to worry about that .

update:
I've started working on entering doors/hitting spikes. also, I added in some animations
as always, screenie

^^ Thanks! Oh, and I forgot to mention that this is running in 6mhz mode, so speed almost definitely won't be an issue.

Looks great keep up the progress your entry is looking good.

WOAH! THat's amazing! I love the physics and animations. Only thing, though, I would not use the static animation when starting the game (before the title screen), though, else people might think their calc crashed

Btw, I like how you managed to make the char move at intervals larger than 8 pixels. I tried this before and had troubles dealing with collision detection. Nice job on the whole thing so far and good luck working on it

Well I hope you are able to resolve them quick and get the demo done in time. Good luck!
