jetsetdanny Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Thanks for the pre-pre-pre-alpha version 🙂 . I've tried it, but cannot get past the wall Willy is standing next to in this screenshot: and not much seems to be happening...

SteveSmith Posted December 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Thanks for trying it. Sorry, I should have been more elaborate with the instructions. If you click with the mouse, Willy shoots in that direction which will destroy the blocks and allow him to continue. The trick is to enable him to get through by strategically making the platforms fall into places which he can then use to climb higher.

jetsetdanny Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Thanks! I'll have another go and try to shoot my way through 😉 . SteveSmith and Spider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveSmith Posted December 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 It does make it more of a puzzle game than a straight platformer. jetsetdanny and Spider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Set Willie Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Fireball-Mario Willy won´t meet Angry Birds. 🙂 I think this is a great idea! I´d suggest that please don´t change anything from your idea yet, as the idea is great, just ask help for the level design, sure there will be some people who can help. 🙂 It´s also possible to make a version without platform shooting, that the other side of the platforms will start to dive, when you step too far. But also it should be possible (for fun!) to run back before platform dives too far (just like in slapstick movies!) and Willy´s weight will make the platform to rise again to it´s original balance. If the player will not run back to the opposite direction the platform will quickly collapse. I hope you understood what I was trying to describe. 🙂 I will try your pre-pre-pre-game later.

Give him a jetpac! Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveSmith Posted January 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 If anyone is interested, I've released a new version of Manic Destruction, which now has 5 levels recreated from the original. I'd be interested to know how easy/hard people find them. https://stephensmith.itch.io/manic-destruction jetsetdanny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
