1st level*

Ok, cool!

I'm currently on a hotspot because I needed to check all my Hyperpad notifications and emails after this sleepaway trip I just went on... That's why when I responded I wasn't so pumped on helping you so much until I got home - however, I read my comment and your run-up comments over and decided it would be most helpful if I gave my feedback right way. Why? Because you're building on your levels, adding more and more - and I think that you should take a break. First, you should work on the levels you already have, work on all the details; then you should build on volume, only then. So here I go!

-First off, this is just a plain out bug that I found. When you drag on a supposed-to-be-solid surface, for example, a wall, you can sort of smiggy

No, I didn't want to press submit lol! Here I go again...

Smiggy your way through it. To prevent this, you can probably make the creature a physics object if it isn't already. If that doesn't work, just experiment with physics and empty objects... Let me know if you really need help. Besides that problem though, I really didn't find any other big bugs. Keep up the work!

-I still stand by what I said before, too. If you can just do what I said before, your game would already be in way better shape... Just putting that out there. And I just want to make clear that it's already good, that it would just be better; don't let this put you down but motivate you.

-Now, I think you should establish some sort of saving system. Every time you play the levels you have to restart. Nobody wants to do that! You can construct some sort of level select screen and unlock levels or just make a start screen where a person can pick from three new worlds like in Mario; where each world starts at the beginning of the story, but if you beat different levels then that world will start where you picked off. If you really need help, again, I can help.

Well, good luck! Keep working hard on this!

Ok, I'm glad to help. See what you can get done without me. Then, when I get home and I have wifi, I'll help with whatever you can't do. I just want you to try - and to save my data.

Ok, but I bet you can make the timer yourself though, also making the bomb destructible from both sides. That shouldn't be too hard.

I understand if the saving and physics stuff is a bit advanced though :). I'm glad to help.

Ok, so how's it going?

Ok, so I'm publishing a probability tutorial real soon. It's real easy stuff but it could be quite useful if you're to add effects and pizazz to this game.

Here's how I do my saving and how it generally works:

You have the existing saving and load files and the dynamic saving and loading files. The existing saving file behavior lets you save a value to a key that exists or to a key that doesn't exist. If you're saving a key that exists you simply select it, but if you're saving something doesn't exist you have to go to where you'd select a behavior and then press the plus key to make a new one. Similarly, the existing loading file can load a value that already exists based off of a key or create a new key with a blank value. The dynamic saving file automatically creates a new key and a value to that key, which you can then load existing and the loading file does the same except obviously it loads the new value (the value would be blank.) When saving, you typically don't want to use the dynamic key because you'd have to first play the level and save the file before loading it. That's typically ok, unless you want to check whether the value is blank or not - because the key won't exist. Rather, you just make the new key and value with the existing saving file.

When I was creating the level select and the unlocking levels in my game, I put my saving at the end of each level, whenever you were to beat it. I used this chain of behaviors:

Collided < load file "saving" + behavior off "collided"

Load file "saving" < If "load file" is not equal to "X" + if "load file" is equal to "X"

If "load file" is not equal to "X" < load overlay "status"

If "load file" is equal to "X" < save file "saving" (value: "Y") < load overlay "status"

In scene 1, "X" is equal to a blank value. You just leave the input value blank. In the other scenes "X" is equal to 1, then 2, 3, 4, etc. You'd notice that it equals the value of the level before it. "Y" equals the level number you just beat. The overlay status has an object to go to the level select screen where you can go to the next level or you can go back to level select where you can replay different levels. It also includes in stars, how well you did.

If you're not making a level select screen but a story as I suggested you could do above, then you could replace the "load overlay 'status'" with "load next scene" and make three seperate saving chains for each world, 3 of the same levels with different saving for each world.

Now the physics... The solution is very simple. When you bump into the wall it should send you "A" amount of pixels in the opposite direction. If you collide with the left of the wall, it should send you that amount of pixels to the right; If you collide with the right of the wall, it should send you that amount of pixels to the left; the up, then down; the down, then up... So forth...

Hope that clears everything up for you! Let me know how everything turns out! Good luck!

Ok, the tutorial is out! Let me know if it helps with the effects!

Ok, well good luck!

You can post on imgur. Then, you can send me the link to that post.

Cool, so the player will hop from one level to the next? When you press on the level he'll go to it maybe?

Um ok! That's cool!
