MGC Entry: Super Koopa Launch!, C'mon, take a chance!

Update #1: Bug fix

Better bounces,
Longer room
No negative distances
Slightly stronger boosts.

Update #2: New Character and more random.

Koopa as a playable character
Moving boost rings
Music
Parakoopa enemy to bounce off of, on top of, etc.

Update #3: Paratroopa cometh!

Paratroopa as playable character. I do not recomend him for beginners!!!

Update #4: Game of Chance!!!

Rings and enemies are now randomly placed each time! Good luck kiddies!

The goal of this game is to shoot a Super Koopa as far as you can from a cannon. Watch out for walls, as they will make you lose distance and stop flying. Go through the straight rings for a slight boost, and the slanted ones for as super boost! The size of the smoke trail behind you shows how fast your going:

Large: Nuts!
Medium: Fast
Small: So-so
None: Sluggish.

Screenies!


The cannon and measurements


Flying through the rings!~

Controls:

Left: decrease power
Right: Increase power
Up: Tilt cannon up
Down: Tilt cannon down
Shift: When koopa is in the ground, restart and show high scores
X: When aiming, deletes high scores

Don't bother reporting bugs, unless you know how to fix them. I know them all. And if you do want to fix them, it has to be in D&D.

This game is addicting!

I got to 1889 and seemed to go out of the room, but other than that, pretty fun game, good idea too.

I fell out of the screen at 1961 ft.

Dangit! I was going amazingly fast and got so far! ... then I hit the ground and bounced all the way back to start ;_;

EDIT: Your can do this anytime your going top speed btw

My High Score is 1257, MAN THIS IS ADDICTING! Black Boo, what were your settings when you launched and got that score? And did you find the glitch you get if you set Power to Minimum and Cannon Direction to 0?
Edit; ZOMG! I got -298 Feet! O.o

@Keyser Soze: Yeah, I can make the room longer.
SMM: Yeah, I don't know how to fix it. I'm using move bounce solid D&D function, and get the same results.
Onilink: Yeah, I'll see what I can do there, and you need to hit as many rings as possible to go as far as I did.

My High Score is 2017. :P

Edit: Onilink, I can't seem to fix it.

I figured a trick out, the Speed & Direction Combo ALWAYS DETERMINES THE EXACT DISTANCE YOU'LL TRAVEL! Example: Speed of 100 and Direction of 40 give you the Distance 1257. I'm writing down all 360 Combos with the Speed/Direction Increasing/Decreasing by 5. And for the Glitch that makes you get negative score, if you are using Solid Blocks and move_bounce_solid, put solid blocks just to the left of the screen. Also, what's the current Room Width?

Edit:
Best Combos Found:
Speed 100+Direction 40=1257 Feet
Speed 95+Direction 20=1408 Feet
Speed 90+Direction 30=632 Feet

Worst Combo Found:
Speed 90+Direction 35=-426 Feet

Onilink, those combos are now all wrong. Youll get the same distance every time with a combo still, just like Bowman, but if you go to bed and forget it, it starts the fun all over again!

And I fixed all the glitches you guys told me in one swoop.

XD I helped people cheat. <.< I guees I deserved that. XD And woot for Bug Fixing. You should put a Fawful Enemy Flying up and Down every few 1000 Pixels. :O Or a Paratroopa. XD
Highscore: 2213 Feet
Edit; HOLY CARP! I HIT A DIAGONAL SPEED BOOST WHILE GOING SLOW AND WENT FLYING OFF SCREEN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS! :O

you should add some more randomness

like random bobombs or sumthin'

I may add a flying enemy or somethin. That could fix things up a bit. XD

I'm uploading the new one now, just need some time. Come on by in a bit.

I really like this game. Maybe you could add some actions you can perform in midair.
Also a suggestion for another character: Dry Bones.

EDIT: I got over 2000 ft

Paratroopa's the newcomer! Just as soon as my dial up uploads it...

Just a tip, instead of having a room that is thousands of pixels long, with set objects in set places, have it so that at a certain distance he stops moving, and instead everything else does, and things like boosts and enemies are randomly generated just outside your view.

How do you do that?

It's really fun and addicting and all, but its pretty annoying when you fly outta the room. Otherwise this game is great. It'd be pretty cool if you made like different stages with different gimmicks.
