Its to do with the collisions. I didn't have time to correct this before the comp ended so please don't let this dampen your experience. The best way to open them is to spin your character around with your mouse. Thanks Everyone :D"},{"author_name":"mezoom","author_uid":"7394","time":"Dec 19, 2011 @ 5:44am","epoch":1324273140,"text":"most of the lasers don't do damage, so there is sort of a meta game of 'walk through all the lasers to see which ones actually hurt' going on. the doors worked fine though!"},{"author_name":"Snuffypot11","author_uid":"7276","time":"Dec 19, 2011 @ 5:46am","epoch":1324273260,"text":"Well I'm glad they worked for you.

I love the graphics. Is that real 3D or simulated with sprite\/location calculations? The collisions did get a bit annoying, but I still beat it and had fun :)"},{"author_name":"Aaron","author_uid":"7118","time":"Dec 21, 2011 @ 1:58am","epoch":1324432380,"text":"Congrats on your first LD, Snuffypot11 :) \r<br\/>\r<br\/>To be honest, I'm biased against GameMaker so I sighed after I saw the icon of the download, but then you surprised me in a good way. The game used some clever designs, like the question marks, that I really liked and your introduction of elements was really nice. I'm sorry that you didn't get everything in that you wanted (part of everybody's first dare experience, of course), but you did a pretty good job considering that. :)"},{"author_name":"Snuffypot11","author_uid":"7276","time":"Dec 21, 2011 @ 4:21am","epoch":1324440960,"text":"@Aaron - Thanks, Im glad you enjoyed it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Whilefun - The 3D is simulated by telling gamemaker to draw an object at a certain size at a certain position. the collisions and everything else is all done on a 2D plane. It's called 2.5D"},{"author_name":"Dax","author_uid":"7756","time":"Dec 23, 2011 @ 3:50pm","epoch":1324655100,"text":"Like before, I really like how you render the walls and the doors, the effect works nicely.\r<br\/>And sometimes we stick on the walls but still fun to play."},{"author_name":"jellonator","author_uid":"6672","time":"Dec 23, 2011 @ 10:14pm","epoch":1324678140,"text":"lol gamemaker and your incompatibility with ubuntu."},{"author_name":"AyCe","author_uid":"3852","time":"Dec 26, 2011 @ 1:44pm","epoch":1324906740,"text":"Nice gamemakergame, loved the rendering, had minor problems with the doors, took no damage in the entire game. :)"},{"author_name":"zairon","author_uid":"7213","time":"Dec 31, 2011 @ 3:44am","epoch":1325302740,"text":"I actually laughed out loud at the end, which made playing through worth it.
