Eeek! I'm terrible at dodging those things in tight quarters; I hope going through that room isn't required to beat the game.

Also, how close are you to being done with this?

You don't have to go through that room, necessarily. But then you would have to go through other rooms of about the same difficulty level :P

Don't worry though, that's one of the last places you'll visit.

I'm not very close to finishing this yet. I don't have any kind of time estimate but it will be a while.

Hey guys. I don't think I'm ever going to finish this, so here's my favorite area of it mapped out for everyone to see.


Make sure to check it out at full size! XD

Ergh. Well, could you maybe release the unfinished version? I know a lot of people would enjoy that... :moody:

Well, since I posted that I've added like twenty rooms so maybe not! Perhaps I'll tie up all the loose ends and make a demo though.

Definately make a demo.
This is really inspirational to me, I'm trying to make a level that isn't a comeplete fail like my first one.
Thanks for the stars, everyone!

The demo is out and I have updated the main post! I added a ton of stuff today - made the intro cutscene and all the level data (icon, background image, title, etc.) and added a whole new area, which you can explore a bit of in the demo 8)

First of all, most people post a thread in the level releases forum when they have something playable, even if it's just a demo.

Secondly, I played a bit of your level, and I have to say, it's way too hard for me. It takes too long to get the run power-up, including a screen with an enemy that can be very hard without perfect timing and/or luck. Plus, right after the run power-up is a very difficult section with hoses and other nasty stuff. If I were you, I'd put it a ways from the start of the game.
