" Oh, and I WILL finnish this ;-) "
great!
any chance of seeing a beta version? (sendy _at_
btinternet _dot_ com).
new enemies are a good idea,
especially ones that are frozen until you collect all the
items, etc. also, different speeds is
important.
have you considered background blocks? just for
decoration.
animated spikes?
ropes and ladders, a la monty on
the run?
conveyor belts that go at different
speeds?
slides. these are like diagonal conveyor belts which go
down, and you can jump off of them.
"save
enemies"... what's that??
switches. to make platforms
appear, conveyors change direction, guardians change
etc.. not sure how you'd system that. might be a bit
too fiddly.
teleports. pretty easily
done.
i'd really love some monty on the run (c64-version)
type water. you know how you sink into it when you
fall into it, and it animates to look like gunk. i
always thought that was really cool.
you could
also, if you were feeling adventurous, put the monty
'crushers' in, with an option to have crushing at random or
regular intervals.
platforms that appear and
disappear at regular intervals (there's a level on megaman
that has that :).
same with nasty blocks. so
you could have like a lazer which appears and
disappears, which you have to jump through.
oh yeah,
those opening and closing platforms in spectrum monty.
you know the ones?
lifts - both horizontal and
vertical.
erm.... i think that's all i can think of right now.
:)
(p.s. in case you can't tell, my secret ambition is to
make a really good monty sequel for the PC!)
