Also make sure you have the latest version of XNA Framework (4.0) and .Net Framework (4.5), maybe try to reinstall them. I've never encountered this error so i'm not really sure what's wrong. It's definately not the code, it's something on your end :\/\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Colisan, Thanks!

I noticed this too but never got the time to change gravity and possibly redesign the level due to the gravity change. \r<br\/>I know I should have told you all this, but in order to go past the lower right spikes, you need to get 2 cubes and unlock the air dash ability (lower left and upper left paths). I also didn't get time to do the respawning stuff, but I was going to. I only had about 20 minutes after the level design + main menu was done. \r<br\/>And the potato was an easter egg :)"},{"author_name":"Pixelfan Games","author_uid":"20908","time":"May 3, 2013 @ 11:27pm","epoch":1367623320,"text":"Funny game, i like it"},{"author_name":"MinionStudios","author_uid":"22273","time":"May 10, 2013 @ 5:45pm","epoch":1368207600,"text":"Fun and really difficult.

Here you need to create 3 files, and they have to be named properly like this:\r\n<levelname>.png\r\n<levelname>ents.png\r\n<levelname>back.png\r\n\r\nreplace <levelname> with the name of your level.\r\n\r\n<levelname>.png handles normal tiles that you collide with.\r\n<levelname>ents.png handles entities.\r\n<levelname>back.png handles the background tiles.\r\n\r\nEach color on these images represents a different tile or entity, you can find the list right here:\r\nhttp:\/\/puu.sh\/2Jb1e.txt\r\n\r\n\r\nIt might look a bit complicated for some, but i'll try to explain it. On the spikes, the Blue value in the color represents the rotation. 75 is 90 degrees, and 225 is 270 degrees.\r\n\r\nOn the lasers however, x represents how far the laser will go. This is calculated by multiplying the length you want the laser to go by 10. Horizontal lasers always go to the right when added. Vertical lasers always goes down when added.\r\nThe y value represents the bounds of the laser. 230 is 2 blocks, 240 is 3 blocks and so on.\r\n\r\nThe elevator is the same as the lasers.\r\n\r\nI hope you understand all of this! Have fun!\r\n\r\n## Requirements\r\n\r\nXNA Framework 4\r\n.Net Framework 4.5<\/p>","title":"FFFFFF-"}
