Is the 100 room limit arbitrary, or is there a speed problem with more?

Although 100 rooms is kinda a good amount when you take in account the fact that Metroid II: Expansion has 300. You spend much more time in a VVVVVV room than a 83+ xLIB Metroid II one so the length will most likely be identical since players will need weeks before they can get past certain rooms.

What do you mean by all part of the game?

Oh ok, but yeah the high difficulty will definitively increase the game length. In Metroid II: Evolution/The Last Chozo Expansion Set, it's pretty much an exploration-oriented platformer that isn't necessarily meant to be very hard, so you can sometimes find yourself walking through a very long tunnel with very few obstacles. Also, in Metroid II Evolution you can have up to 1099 energy points and in Expansion it's 1499 (pretty much 3598 with the armor). In VVVVVV, one hit and you're dead (although in Metroid you restart all the way back to the last save point if you die).

Just make sure to not make rooms repetitive, such as having 10 rooms worth of moving platform jumping like in that SNES RPG >.<

So far, the map has 2 paths. In this update, a lot is added to both (although one's much harder at this point ).



EDIT: The above screenshot is with wabbit at 50%, btw.



Zip attached, as always. Enjoy!

in that 2nd screenshot, would it be possible to just switch gravity to move up but when touching the vertical line, rather than cross it to touch the horizontal one, go back straight into the pit?

How are you supposed to do that O.Os

I will put this on my calc next week. I need to pay attention in school this week.
