I think just throwing in a few non animated sprites (even little pulsing circles) would have been nice, as I couldn't draw my eye of the very contrasting red squares. The rest of your graphics were so good too! The audio was good, and definitly added a lot of atmosphere too the game. The mechanic of the world switching was really fun too, although despite what you said in the description, I don't really see how close it is too the theme.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really like this. It's good.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The small touches like the undenyable lava and water were cool, and the excitment of having enemies leap from the stars was cool.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, +1 cpp +1 linux.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good job :D"},{"author_name":"Marjie62","author_uid":"35766","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 2:16am","epoch":1429668660,"text":"I had a lot of fun playing this :)  I was screaming and shouting a lot.

They looked very nice and fit nicely with each-other. Gave the game a unified and polished feel; impressive for an LD game\r<br\/>- Controls. They felt smooth and responsive. The physics was matched well to them.\r<br\/>- The diversity of game objects. Water? Lava? Bouncy things? Moving platforms? COOL!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Disliked:\r<br\/>- Didn't fit the theme. You used a machine gun (conventional), enemies were deadly to touch (gaming trope), and rotation-things aren't weapons.\r<br\/>- The rotation-things felt unnecessary. They were easy to avoid, so they weren't a threat, and the level wasn't designed in a way that let you use them strategically.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall: Didn't really fit the theme, but looks nice and has an impressive amount of content!"},{"author_name":"jprogman","author_uid":"15225","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 12:00am","epoch":1429746900,"text":"Your work does have a lot of elements that can be turned into a nice platform game. Some glitches here and there, but I'm not too concerned about those. The rotation is a nice touch, but are usually in the wrong places. (I take it those are randomly placed.) Hope you'll continue developing this further."},{"author_name":"radmars","author_uid":"18627","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 2:05am","epoch":1429754400,"text":"Cool idea but the fact that gravity switching just kills you more often than not is pretty annoying.

You can switch gravity with the given powerups which spawn randomly around the map, same with enemies. Play till you die, get a high score. Post your high score in the comments if you can. \r\nControls: \r\nMovement: WASD\r\nJump: Space\r\nRun: LShift\r\nShoot: Left Click on Linux, Comma on windows\r\nThe unconventional weapon is that you can kill you're self if you switch gravity and fall out of the map. \r\nNOTE: to run the linux version you need libsdl2, if you are using the apt-get package manager run: sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0-0\r\n\r\nYOUTUBE VIDEO: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g_6LqrpmwlA\r\n\r\n======== USING THE LEVEL EDITOR ========\r\nto use the most useful features of the level editor, you need to run the game from a console, command prompt in windows, terminal in linux. \r\n\r\nThe level editor is not meant to be user friendly, made just so I could make a level for the game. \r\n\r\nOnce running from console, press F4 (in the game window, not console, the only time you use the console is when pressing 1 and 5) to enable the level editor, now you have more keys available. \r\n\r\nEnemies and items should now stop spawning and you should see the spawn locations (where enemies and items spawn). \r\n\r\n1 - Switch left mouse tile\r\nThe game should freeze, this is normal. \r\nin the console you need to enter the layer and the tile id. (listed below), then you can place tiles with left mouse, and delete them with right mouse.\r\n3 - Put down moving platform\r\nThe type of moving platform is specified in 5\r\n5 - Set type of moving platform\r\nThere are a few factors that you will be asked:\r\nWidth, Height (self explaining)\r\nRadius X, Radius Y (how far in both axis)\r\nSpeed X, Speed Y (speed in both axis)\r\nType (the type is the same as the tiles in the tile layer listed below)\r\n0 - Delete entity, (this can be a moving platform, pickup item, or enemy)\r\n- (MINUS) - remove the entity spawner where the mouse is\r\n+ (EQUALS) - add an entity spawner where the mouse is\r\nPage up and page down switch gravity\r\n\r\n==== TILE ID'S AND LAYERS ====\r\nLayer 0 - Background:\r\n    0 = No Tile\r\n    1 = Dirt Background\r\n    2 = Rock Background\r\n    3 = Purple Brick Background\r\nLayer 1 - Liquids:\r\n    0 = No Liquid\r\n    1 = Water\r\n    2 = Waterfall\r\n    3 = Lava\r\nLayer 2 - Tiles (moving platforms type variable uses this list):\r\n    0 = No Tile\r\n    1 = Dirt\r\n    2 = Grass\r\n    3 = Sand\r\n    4 = Metal\r\n    5 = Rock\r\n    6 = Dark Purple Brick\r\n    7 = Cloud\r\n    8 = Spikes\r\n    9 = Ladder\r\n    ~~ 10 = Vine (planned, but NOT added)\r\n    11 = Sinking Sand (not used in the main map)\r\n\r\nTo save the level press ENTER while in level editor mode\r\nThe game should make a leveledit.bin file, this is the map you have just created\r\nmap.bin is the hardcoded file the game loads up as a map, so to play your new level again or give it to a friend, rename leveledit.bin to map.bin.
