I think some games are meant to be easy, others to be harder. This is a hard one. Happilly there are games for every taste. I did'nt get to pass through those turrets yet, though =/ ... ... ... but I'm not giving up, this game didn't beated me up yet.

I think you are right — I fondly remember the games from 20+ years ago when the graphics were very simple but the gameplay was very challenging. That's what I am trying to recreate with this one.

You're hitting the player with a train too quickly. That should come later.

I'm not so sure. I believe that a game should be challenging right from the start and get progressively harder as you progress through the levels.

Hi — I understand your dilemma, but I am reluctant to add a way to skip levels as the game is designed to be played level by level.

Yes JPatchZ, you are very near to the end of the level. Once you get past the turrets - that's it. Level 2 awaits......

Thanks JPatchZ, I'm glad that you enjoyed playing the game. Just to let you know that you can become invisible to the turrets by jumping to the right when the elevating platform just before the turrets reaches it's top position.

Good advice Solomon - thanks for the encouragement.

That's the whole point, the game is supposed to be difficult (but not impossible)

Some people love these kinds of games and see them as a challenge.

Wow Voulk, I can't believe you got through it so quick. Thanks for giving it a go.

I am glad that you found it entertaining. There are also little cheats programmed into the game. As an example, in Level 1, just before you encounter the two shooting gun turrets, if you jump to the right when you are on the elevating platform (right at the top), you become invisible to the guns and they won't shoot you.

I like the idea about the different colour enemies and will probably implement that. Now I have to dream up some new levels and the secret level that I have mentioned.

For your prize (seriously) I can offer you a free cloud hosting account for any domain that you may have - how's that!

If you are interested, PM me.

Thanks for the feedback Voulk. I like the restart idea, but this would make the game too easy. I have played the game through several times with the current setup. There are checkpoints in each level which make things a little easier.

You're going to make a fortune if you continue along this path...
