Pintar - NEW (Please Give Feedback)

I made it an original game because I wanted it to be something I can call my own.

And the "hold to rise jump thing" as you call it puts you in control of the jump. I've been doing it in my engines for a long time now and am not about to stop now. :P

This is pretty cool.

Thanks.

^^

The jumping is just way to damn slow. If you're going to make him go through an entire level, it's going to take a really long time to play through it.

Also, the mushroom barely propels you any higher than your normal jump, at least not enough to be helpful.

Yes it does. You have to keep bouncing off it to bounce higher.

That's what ground pound is useful for. Pintar is supposed to be light otherwise.

But you see, a lot of people are really complaining about it. I think you need to do something about it.

They were complaining about it before I put ground pound in.

Exactly

It's nice that you revamped the engine a bit.

I'm back, BTW.

Good Lord SP this is the slowest fangame I've ever played. :O

It's fine and dandy to make Pintar light. But doesn't that mean when he hits that mushroom he'll go up a bit faster? That mushroom is slow as hell. In order to bounce high enough off it to clear a standard wall you have to bounce on it for twenty seconds. Ten if you meteor dash.

Draco, I'm afraid it's your comp then. It doesn't take that long to get it up to its maximum height.

Which is probably better than yours? I don't think so. Want I should make an example? :X

It took... 5 seconds without ground pounding.

1. Was an exaggeration

2. That's still quite a bit too long. It FEELS even longer because Pintar moves at a steady linear speed. I am certain I just used linear wrong.

This is not meant to be a speedy game like Sonic.

But anyway, I sort of made it faster a while ago and fixed the "triangle" jumping. Hanyou said he liked it much better.

So yeah.

SP, I don't understand you. You ask for feedback, and when we're all agreeing on one general flaw - that it feels too slow - you don't accept the suggestion. The hell?

Read my last post, Draco. The slowness was already taken care of.

And just because I ask for feedback does not mean I have to change my whole game around.

Like hell it was.

SP, you're seeing this in black and white. Games are not in two settings. There is not just SONIC FAST111 and TETRIS LEVEL 1 SLOW1111 and I have no idea where you're getting such an idea.

Let's assume there are ten levels of speed in video gaming. Sonic is at ten. Yours is at one - two. Make yours two - four.

Excuse me?

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE ENGINE TEST CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD. It was a newer version I sent to Hanyou OVER AIM.

Go ask Hanyou. I mean, jesus. Why the hell would I lie about something like that?

You can wait until I release the next engine test to see if it's fast enough for you. If it's not, well I am afraid it's too bad. ANY HIGHER THAN WHAT WILL COME IN THE NEXT RELEASE AND PINTAR WILL BE ZOOMING ACROSS MY LEVELS AND THEN YOU'LL BE COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT. I am grateful for the feedback but now you're being demanding. That I am not grateful for.

Firstly, you had not made this clear earlier.

Secondly, how am I to judge what I cannot see? Upload the new bloody engine so I can tell you if it's still unbearably slow. Privately zooming things across AIM without notice leads to misunderstandings like these.

For you, as you'll have lost a player.

That remains to be seen.
