hello I don't know if this is allowed, but i update the game with new graphics and fixed  most bugs, if you want to check it out just go to the itch.io page for manic miner

great game, I enjoyed playing. Controls and the ladder can use some work.

Developer

thanks

I enjoyed it, although a few things I noticed:

  1. The beginning text has a spelling error, it says miner, but the correct spelling is minor. When talking about the scale of the earthquake.
  2. The controls are a little finicky. Could use some work.
  3. Sometimes the jump frame stays even when on the ground.
  4. The beginning text should disappear after the user leaves the start area. 

And that's all, although I feel with a little more work, this could be a great game.

yeah i know alot of the problems I have never meen good at spelling and the controls are default mapped although im going to edit them a bit buy using add forces mechanic. i dont understand the jump animation glitch but i will look into that, and i am looking forward to make this a full game

I wish you luck! I don't know which engine you use, but for the jump animation glitch the best thing I can think of is creating a physics check sphere to check if the player is on the ground. Basically it's an invisible sphere which is small and detects whether or not the ground is inside the sphere. I hope that helps.

i am going to do something close to that but just have it to any collision on the ground tile makes it idle animation

I wish you luck dude!

I don't know what to say anymore. a great game, awesome music.

the controls are a bit hard(you fall off if you climb on top of the ladder and there are some awkward jumps) but most of the time the answer for those would be to tell me to "git gud" so GG.

Developer

thanks for the feedback i really like that you liked it, this is a game that i want to work on and eventually finish it, i need to fix the animations and add about 6 more stages (scenes) but once its done i hope its something i can be proud of! and tip for the ladders don't move back and forth wen your at the top just up and then jump and move when your in mid air

don't worry, I got gud.

I really like this game! Even without art the platforming is really fun and the ledge grabbing mechanic is great! It's great that you are making games so young! I'm only 16. I also had a bug where it sent me back to a checkpoint for no reason but great job!

Wow, making games at such a young age!  It's a fun platformer with good level design.  There was a bug where I died for no reason and it sent me to a checkpoint way back, but other wise, it was a lot of fun.  I really enjoyed the ledge-grabbing mechanic.

Developer

thanks for the feedback, I checked out your game and it was a lot of fun, for sure challenging, i played through and noticed that glitch and i think its because the acid sprite pokes up by like 3 pixels ill have to fix that in the next update
