Working on Manic Miner in Scratch

I think you've done a great job. I was able to get through to 'The Warehouse' on a first run. Not bad seeing as I haven't played the game in a few years. I was even able to pull off the speedrun strat in 'Eugene's Lair' which I was particularly pleased worked. 🙂 If anything it's slightly more forgiving than the speccy version - definitely a few close calls with enemies which I think should have killed me but in all honesty, it's no bad thing.

Great job!

Great job!

@CPL - all the way to the Warehouse! That's very cool. I'm happy you liked the Eugene's Lair speedrun. It was one of the things that I really wanted to pull off when I first saw it - and initially it didn't work as I had the conveyor logic wrong.  Also the Wacky Amoebatrons where you can dash underneath all of them without dying. I remember when I discovered that as a kid. Indeed, the collisions with the guardians are slightly off compared to the original. As you said, it's slight more forgiving. The other side of that is unfortunately less forgiving or at least I couldn't find that perfect point. I think that is because of the width of a cell being 15 pixels instead of 16 to fit the scratch screen. I do like the extra forgiveness though especially in later levels. Let me know if you ever finish it...

Works great for me! Very playable. Considering this is your first game AND it's done with a drag-and-drop language, this is a fantastic achievement. Give yourself a pat on the back 🙂

Another vote from me. Only tried briefly at the moment (time is not in good supply) however what I did see was very good. 🙂 

Thank you! 

When I was home during the summer in Ireland, I was showing this to my cousin and my sister caught wind of it. I don't remember this at all, but all 3 sisters were apparently huge fans of the game also. It was fun to let them play it and see the memories come back. It is fun to find others that bonded with the game in similar ways.
