LÖVE

hey Robin,
I'm not exactly sure what am I supposed to do in the game :X
all I did was to jump around the platform and kill dudes by touching them, attracting like 6 of these guys -> (:P) in the process

Is there more to it, or is there a later version than version 6?

The ":P dudes" are called "stars" (don't ask why). You can collect them to proceed the level (you need about 7 of them to continue to the right) and they serve as bonus lifes, that is: the larger (badass-looking) "dudes" will kill you if you touch them, but if you have stars, they will die and take one of your stars instead. (For a spectacular effect, press escape, select Load Level, and select Test2.)

Currently, version 6 (incorrectly called version 7 in some places) is the latest, but this summer I will have more free time, and thus be able to make a lot new versions (Hurray!).

oh okay I didn't realize you could move to the right :X Maybe you could put a signal or arrow?

Its looks quite cool by the way

Excellent idea! Right now, the game is a little undocumented (ok, it's completely undocumented), but I'll try to make the important "hidden features" known to the player in later versions.

Thanks

Guess what time it is?
Progress Update Time!

A list of changes for version 7:

• Some abstraction (i.e. putting things in functions).
• Added a main menu. Selecting Help does nothing as of yet.
• The powerup now actually does something: you can jump up to tree extra times while in the air.
• The guy now does a silly dance in the main menu.
• The beginning of LÖVE 0.6.0 compatibility.
• Added a float-mode. If you have the powerup, you can enjoy up to 3 seconds of unlimited flying!
• Added credits.
• Made stars look like 8-) when has_powerup.
• Made the "Restart" menu option restart the current level, instead of the default.
• Added WASD keys as aliases for the arrow keys.
• Added continue_condition(), so levels can choose their own conditions for continuing to the next screen.
• Fixed bug where player could not die if he ever had a star (even if it was taken earlier!).
• Added a "strong wall": you can't float through this one.
• Working on new level.
• Added a "super" argument to the guard ai, enabling it makes the bad guy faster and sees player from further.
• Added a "block" ai. This one just stands still, but jumps when you jump. Impossible to get by without platforms or powerup.

I think v7 is sorta ready now. I will release version 7 at 15:15 UTC (half an hour from now). I can implement a few things before than, so if you have suggestions, please post.

Time's up.

Release: Version 7 (a.k.a. the REAL version 7)

cool! it starts to take shape ... keep up the work!

btw, you can't climb the second wall in level 3, right?

It does, doesn't it?

Will certainly do that.

You can't climb any walls (interesting thing to add, though. Although, that would mean I have to redesign pretty much every level ). And I made that wall that high so you can't jump over it (it's possible to jump over it if it were one block lower). For those that don't know already: pressing space once you have the powerup lets you fly.

The last version is unavailable now.
