If you link to your game we can have a look ourselves.

It currently happens with all of my C2 games on Kong, here they are:

kongregate.com/games/onehandclap/father-jonah-saves-the-day
kongregate.com/games/onehandclap/16kpixeltroid
kongregate.com/games/onehandclap/tiny-the-adventurer
I've seen it happen on my 'copy' of Firefox and to a couple other people as well, but I can't track what's going on with FF. All of the files are in place, I also checked that option of course. I still have to try the 'reset method' I've been suggested in this thread, though.

I tried clearing the cache and reloading, but I always get the same error messages. And I haven't added or updated any extensions lately. This is REALLY strange. =|

Hi everyone and thanks for your attention. =)

I've posted several C2 games on Kongregate, hosting them on my site, and they always worked fine in Firefox (my browser of choice), but now they don't anymore. I only get a black screen after the loading bar successfully reaches the end and, looking at the error console, here's what I get:

Offline cache update error, URL=http://www.xyz.net/xut/zyx/offline.appcache

Offline cache manifest item failed to load, URL=http://www.xyz.net/xut/zyx/images%5Croomsmaskdx-sheet0.png

This happens with all of my C2 games, with different directories and filenames of course (the filename-related error is always about the first file in the appcache). It's clearly Firefox's fault, and not C2's, but I don't know what's happening. Any idea?

Another quick update... they talked about the game on IndieGames.com! I can't believe it! =)

Just a quick note to let you guys and gals know that Father Jonah Saves the Day can now be played on Game Jolt, too. =)

Thank you very much for playing, I'm glad you liked the game and extra-glad to receive feedback from a great dev like you. =)

I'd like to do a totally different game for February 1GAM, but I'm still in the planning stages and I'm afraid the idea I had could be well out of my reach. But I'll try. =)

Hi everyone!

I used Construct 2 to make this microgame:

kongregate.com/games/onehandclap/father-jonah-saves-the-day
for the January challenge of One Game A Month.

I used the ZX Spectrum's resolution and palette and laid the game out to be a tribute to Stephen Crow's Wizard's Lair and Locomalito's L'Abbaye des Morts and did everything in a week or so.

I had a lot of fun while working on the game and I hope you guys and gals will enjoy it, even if it's very short. =)

[...] It just so happens that many people's situations don't require being able to hold onto steep slopes! If you think about this, any way Ashley could have implemented sliding down slopes would be unsatisfactory to some people [...]

That's right, I know. It's just that seeing my player get stuck on normal, square platforms is kinda strange. =P

We discussed this issue a while ago and came up with a few alternatives to fix it.

Hope this helps you out!

Thanks for pointing that out!

It doesn't exactly apply to my problem, but it's very instructive nonetheless. And quite scary, since I really hoped the Platform behaviour was going to work flawlessly out of the box. =P

This is probably caused by ever-so-slightly sloped collision masks. If you have rotated objects or non-bounding-box collision masks, a very slightly off-vertical line can count as a very steep slope, and in some circumstances the platform behavior can land on very steep slopes. So I'd double check your collision masks, and if that doesn't help, post a .capx example showing what's going on.

I checked the collision mask and it's actually vertically skewed by one pixel on the right side, but I don't think that's the origin of my problem since the sprite gets stuck on platforms on the left side as well. =|

Nice game and graphics! I've always had a thing for 8 bit. <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Would be nice to see another one. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I'd like to make a bigger and deeper one in the future, maybe with the ZX Spectrum's palette again, or the NES's one. We'll see. =)

And thank you, of course! =D
