While I like the concept behind this, it's one of those things that works better on paper than in the game itself. The necessary lack of savepoints made it really aggravating to die or get delayed (and hence fail to be with the beat), and have to restart from the very beginning. After three such delays and two deaths, I just quit playing.

That's why you're supposed to play through to make sure you know how to get past everything.
Lurk more.

I did. Just because I know about something doesn't mean I'm going to a) remember it, or b) be able to get past it.

I did what data flashabot said but now the bunny starts moving and then it stops half way through (file corrupt) :sick:.

Paste the start of the file and a LITTLE bit of the randomness afterwards.
In code and spoiler tags.

@ p.y.poison
Well, 'm fond o experimental stuff like this.  Someday I'll post my more normal levels, but it was a concept I had to get off paper to see how it would work.

Anyway, sorry for any trouble the file was causing. I'm pulling it down tonight.  No more weird levelness.

After I fix a few details in the tile-set, I'll release that properly.

Hope you guys enjoyed it.

Lag between screens ruins it for me. :( Shame because it seems like a really cool concept. It reminds me of the DDA levels from N, if anyone plays or has played many custom N levels.

I understand completely. I've done this several times; one of my KS levels was born in this fashion.

meh... it won't paste here... I guess I'll have to do without this one...  :sigh:

EDIT hmm... there was a new error now which says "could not pack file"... weird. Infact depending on the symbol I put instead of that dot, it randomly says, Possible exploit, file corrupt, or unpackable error.

Things I've learned from Timo Maas, if you ant to try this.

1.  Use CC or PD music for timing the jumps. (creative commons/Public Domain)
--That way you don't get in trouble and your level stays on the archive.

2.  Don't use anything longer than 1 minute 30 seconds.
--Because the music has to match the jumps, you have to kill the music every time the player dies, and as said above, it sucks when you di 4 minutes in and you start ALL the way back.

3.  As few objects as possible.
--Lag is your enemy with these kinds of levels because others may not have as fast a computer as you.  Not bugs, no birds, if you can help it no enemies.

4.  I learned how to make tilesets.
--Cool.


I will try this concept again with my new found wisdom, just not on this level.
