Great game! what libraries are you using? has it accelerated hardware graphics support? did you make the graphics? how many time it took you? it looks very very polished, the menues and the help screen, it really looks like a commercial game. |

Thanks a lot! A friend of mine made the music, and I did mostly everything else, including the graphics (which I kinda suck at making.. but tried my best...) I'm using the normal allegro lib (4.2) and really worked on smoothing everything as much as I could so everything will flow nicely. |

Is this a kind of 2D version of narbacular drop/portal? Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

This is a very high quality game. I've only played to level 3 so far, but it's very good. I think the graphics are very nice as well, they really fit in with the game. The gameplay is very smooth and so far the puzzles have been good. The only fault I have is that I accidently skipped the first bit of dialog because I pressed ENTER (I didn't realize that it continued the dialog automagically). Although, the problem was nullified when I opened the Help menu and saw the controls. Maybe an option for remapping the controls on the main menu (or at least something to view the controls) would be a nice addition. I look forward to finding some time during which I can play through the rest of your game. -- |

Very nice job you did there. The graphics, music, and puzzles are all great. It does look very polished as others have said. And there are quite a few levels. So you used no other libraries? Not even for maps or scripting? -- |

One of the best games I've played that use Allegro. Great Job! The graphics, once again, are great. It doesn't skimp on gameplay either. There are a number of small touches that really help make it look great, and it has all the features I could ask for. The only thing I could possibly suggest is a confirmation box for restarting, even though it isn't really needed. Yay, now I get to do the other 27 levels!;D ______________________________________ |

Elverion: I didn't use anything except allegro and allegromp3 for the music.. There main story (the 30 episodes) is pretty much done, even including an ending / credits and whatnot. I'm very happy to hear that you like the game, |

Just reached level 7, causing a grand total of zero time paradoxes along the way. |

I've reached level 7, too. It's a really challenging game (now I undesrtand why you call it puzzle platformer). I had 3 time paradoxes and didn't quite understand what those were until they were explained at the beginning of level 7. The default game speed is a bit too slow, I think. I find myself pressing KEY_F to play faster just to find that I was already playing in the fast mode. It would be nice if you could play at the same speeds that you can replay (in particular when pushing those large blocks). The levels must have been hard to design with that gameplay in mind since they are really challenging. As of level 7, my brain really needs a rest. Luckily, you included THE tip for each level (just wish I had realized that earlier). I usually suck at puzzles, so I can't be sure if I'll be able to get to the later levels. The current levels I'm playing seem to hard already, so I can't imagine the difficulty of more advanced ones. Great work in accomplishing this, by the way. Congratulations!.

I found a strange bug- if you press enter right after you die, instead of pressing R, U, or Esc, the game will freeze and the music start skipping until you CTR-ALT-DEL out of it. Basically, it crashes. EDIT: |

Wow, that's really great game. With cute graphics. Just got to lvl 15 and will stop playing for a while now. Imo one thing could be changed - there are few moments where you need to wait for dialogue to end. If you wait, you'll have much worse score. Maybe timer should be stopped then? Btw, is there any bonus for rescuing Milps? |

Thanks man About 14.. its actually not that hard if you figure out a certain trick that gives you much more freedom and time... (if you actually did it without that trick.. you are really About the milps - there will be, yes, I'm working on it now, each milp you get will open a bonus stage, that you can access anytime. (on the version you got though, no bonus stages exist.) And about dialogs.. its true that if you wait, your score will be worse; but people who want to get good scores will probably just play it again, and skip all the dialogs to get the best score possible. Anyway, thanks again, and good luck with the rest |

I have to delete the replays directory every time I play, or I get the follwoing error on startup: "Fatal error - Unable to create replays directory!" This is on Vista, if that helps.

Reminds me a lot of Chronotron. The game concept is awesome and your game is very neat and polished. I wouldn't be surprised if I play this game from time to time. The only thing that annoys me so far is the load time at start up, with my lap top I have to wait a while before I can play. _____________________ |

Just echoing the sentiments. This game is beautiful! I'll definitely be playing through this when I get the chance.
