[CJA]

Go ahead and post it, I don't have the logs atm. The first two were unnumbered

[KKairos]

CJA's deaths, with most superfluous conversation removed.

<Science> stuck in a pit on floor 5
<Science> hit by a slime on floor 2
<Science> i have to say: the chain traps are really great, i love those
<Science> 3. hit spikes while trying to jump on a chain trap right over them on floor 2
<Science> 4. clumsily hit spikes while trying to descend
<Science> 5. EMCA
<Science> floor 4
<Science> 6. ???? i have no idea how i died, maybe i fell on a shootingfire
<Science> 7. hopelessly tangled
<Science> 8. EMCA
<Science> 9. hit by fire on floor 2
<Science> 10. spikes, floor 2
<Science> 11. badly timed a slime on floor 2
<Science> 12. i was tryin' to jump up from a swamp to hit a slime that was on a 2 char platform and it somehow killed me
<KKairos> 12 is definitely a bug and i believe has been fixed for big release 2
<KKairos> slimes are not supposed to go on your square unless it's one they would normally walk on
<KKairos> (i'm pretty sure knights also do this but they're not as fast so it wouldn't be as noticeable)
<Science> 13. stuck in a horrible position between a fire guy, slime and EMCA, finally got hit by a slime
<Science> 14. fallig spear on floor 4 after a bunch of ropes were distracting me
<Science> 15. fell directly onto a rope that was flying on a chain trap loop
<Science> at the time
<Science> 16. eeee fell on a slime
<Science> i like the chain traps, they give you a lot of time to thik
<Science> 17. landed in a piece of a swamp that was right over a falling spear on floor 11
<Science> 18. fell down a chasm, and falling spears fall faster
<Science> 19. THE SWAMP HAS TAKEn YOU PRISOnER
<Science> 20. fell down too fast to react to a billion fireballs

want to share two things: (1) my best death so far is probably taking a pipe and finding myself dead and trip-chained on the other end
(2) in solidarity with Lancer who apparently keeps dying right after getting the book, and with anyone who's died in this game, (though I didn't seek this solidarity so much as get psyched out by my own jump puzzle) I did this:

This thread is making my day so much. You guys have no idea.

Also, CJA, you totally made my day with that list. Can you (or can I) post it here? (Have the log.)

Lach, good catch. TBH I was doing the oldschool thing of crediting Greg and spaced on that. You should play the game anyway, at least when it comes out.

Next version will not really be longer in terms of the main hallway. It'll still be possible to get in, get book, get out. But there'll be some...replay value, hopefully. I think enemies are going to have to be less dense just to be spread across the board somewhat evenly.

I totally will. I like how it looks, and while I could say "I'm waiting for the polished, finished version," I'll just be honest and say I haven't had the time or motivation to download and play it yet. >_<

I will eventually though!!

[Dr Lancer-X]

so close..

やった！

EDIT: although I know I set off more than 5 traps, and the #1 score was not.. whatever that is. game needs more debugging.

[KKairos]

Yeah, there are a ton of scoring bugs. Debating whether to release a patch .mzx that fixes them or just save it for the next big release.

I was pretty good at spelunky but wow am I terrible at this game. I must have tried 20 times now and not gotten over 8000 points.

[KKairos]

If anyone besides Lancer and Greasemonkey manages to beat the prototype in the next couple of days they should tell me so I can give them an honorable mention; otherwise those are the two getting honorable mention in the credits.

I beat it just now with 24400 points, but I had to disable monsters to do it.

It still took me about 15 tries.

By the way you've got something pretty fun here, the PCG and difficultly sure could use some tweaking though

[KKairos]

I might give you an honorable mention for your efforts

It'll PROBABLY be easier overall in v2, due to fewer bugs and more spread-out enemies. Probably.

[Kom]

I found it to be quite enjoyable and challenging with each character. I'm glad you put other characters in, especially that they have different attacks. I still haven't reached the end yet, still trying though.

[KKairos]

Cool.

Also everyone, make sure you get the newer version and get the patch .mzx because otherwise Grinder and Manor could generate un-passably.

[nooodl]

Still haven't beaten this but it's pretty great. Love how you get a lot of choices (different characters, Grinder, etc.)
