It doesn't use Full due to a getKey bug or something and I'm not using CrabCake's 15mhz mode so yes :)
(yes I'm using crabcake, that's how big it's getting :P)

is there a playable demo yet? even one where you can just move around or something? I want to make sure that my jumps won't be too far.

There is now.

Controls are the same as before: F-keys select weapon, Apps switch through weapons (predecessor to F-keys), arrow keys move, mode pause clear quit.
The level attached is the one "featured" in the screenie >:D

It runs kind of slow, but I didn't put it in full speed mode because of this :\
It's not optimized at all :P, if someone wants to help me optimize it that would be great ;D
(I'll update the pad asap)

Anyway, stuff.  ESSENCE.8xp is the game, ESSEDIT is the editor, EssLvl00 level (sorry, only 1 level at a time atm), and the zip is everything including source (and crabcake is in there as well, credit to Hot_Dog for that).

EDIT: there's some points where the char does these really big jumps.  Those are propelled by the Blitz Cannon, but the blast doesn't show b/c the lines go off-screen and Line() doesn't like that :P

Can you please make it into an app?

That was one thing that kind of bugged me about Dimension Shift - I kept the program (20,000 bytes) in archive all the time, in case of RAM clears and to make room for other stuff and whatnot, and I didn't really like Garbage Collecting every other time I closed the program.

I could make it an app, tho I'd have to mod it to use external appvars b/c it uses SMC extensively.

That or I could take out the three-something Buff(768)→GDB#

Quite sadly, that looks dreadfully slow. Maybe you should scrap the backdrop, as the original screenies looked really fast.

It's true that it's running slower than before, but it's still playable.  Actually it should be easier to play because you have more time to react to stuff.  I'm working on updating the etherpads so I can get to optimizing...

EDIT: yay quick modify works in SSL now :D and the pad is updated.
EDIT2: now it doesn't...?

I think the speed looks fine!

Yeah, it's not so bad, though (take it from someone who's had to convert a few GDB-heavy programs into apps with about a billion appvars :P). But the end result is worth it!

Not to be offensive, but based on the speed it looks like it takes place on the moon.

..which is why I'm trying to optimize it.

That would be an interesting idea tho, have the earth in the background of lunar mountains or something instead of the moon in the background of a city skyline :P

oh snap parallax scrolling :O

I might be able to help optimize (heh remember i turned 10fps fullspeed tio into 20fps 6mhz :D) and you can still use full mode just change to normal before checking for keypresses and back to full for everything else

 looks really cool so far though good luck!

Um, the speed is totally fine. I don't know what you're talking about, boot.

It takes like five seconds for one jump. It looks like moon gravity.
