Hi - thanks for your comment. I will be uploading a new version hopegully later today so I will sort that. As for the ladders - if you press left or right with up at the same time he will run along the platform and straight up the ladder. This is how it worked in the original Chuckie Egg - no faffing lining up with ladders. There is a standard set of controller commands in Gamemaker which works with most controllers. Unfortunately, if it does not work with your controller that's down to Gamemaker rather than the coding.
