Minigame Comp #35 Gravity

Stoled my idea.



Nah, mines this but with a bulletbill.

Also, Simoneister, you should be able to flip gravity in mid air, I die to much from trying to flip whilst jumping over spikes... And the locked door should be a checkpoint.

Well, doing that would make it too easy, or I'd have to make a whole new level design.

That sounds like a good idea.

it wouldn't make that much of a difference actually, since you can't actually jump very far, it would make it very slightly easier in that you could flip in mid air, that's it.


Also, yes the checkpoint thing would help a lot.

Think like this.
You flip, go a little bit forward, then you flip again, go a little bit forward etc...

You can just flip your way through in mid-air.

Well, maybe simoneister can find a way of fixing that...

Only 8 days left!
Hopefully something will be done so we dont get a mess like the last comp.

@ Darkyoshi:Got stuck in the wall.

I'm updating mine to have a character select feature, pressing a number at any time in the game will cause you to change character the next time you spawn. Each character has different abilities (except mario and retrobill which are purely for looks). I still need ideas for another 4 so tell me if you think of anything.

So far I have:

Press 0 or nothing: Bullet Bill (Normal)
Press 1: Retro Bill (Looks)
Press 2: Chain Chomp (Bounces)
Press 3: Evil Bill (Shrinkified version of the YI Bullet Bill to 16x16, kills anything it touches)
Press 4: Nuke Bill (leaves a trail of fire and scrap metal, explodes on contact with anything)
Press 5: Mario (Looks)

Glitches with this system:
Pressing a number whilst spawning will cause the spawn animation for the one you had to continue playing, but spawning the character you pressed the number for.

Will update once I have all 10 or the competition deadline is about to be reached, whichever comes first.

I finished my entry

Can we please have a few days extension? For one thing, I don't think there will be enough entries by the 20th, and another thing, I won't be able to finish mine in that time.

Fixed some issues in my entry.

@Ultramio: Yours is brilliant, I think I've got the hang of it now but I got stuck on the one with the spiked ceiling and all of those coloured blocks.

@Simoneister: I think that as well as no-one has given me any Ideas for the extra characters, sadly I am going away for about 9 days so I won't be able to do anything within the time limit unless it is after then...

Anyways, as stated above, I may not be able to finish this in time so this is what I have so far (Keys 0-6 change the character):

Attached File ( Number of downloads: 15 )

Ok i extend it 15 days.
So now go and work your ass of.

I was just going to ask for one because I thought that the 20th was today and I have this big english paper I have been doing.

If I knew that this comp was going to run for 2 months like the last one did I might have joined... Now I just want the stupid thing to be over, apparently though we have another endless contest on our hands.

wait...15 days? that's over two weeks.

how about monday (memorial day in the US)?

Yeah i thought that to, but do you think were getting alot of contribution in just 6 days.
I won the last comp just because i was the only one that was doing anything, i dont want that to happen again.
And i think its better with one big extension that many small.

Oh and by the way Boomb, I meant no offense by the "stupid competition" part, I wasn't insulting your theme, only the fact that this is the second really long sprite comp.

I'm doing something this time, and by the look of the links in this topic a lot of others are.

Its ok, this comps theme as well as the last comps theme is a bit more complicated to do than some of the older ones.
