(i apologise for the poor hosting but my webspace is down for now)

Well here is a demo of the game ive been making on and off since Tops 3 came out.

The story is really a follow on from the first (if you ever played it) Buzz has to reach Zaks fortress and jump on his head a few times, probably gonna change somewhat later on.
I still have a few bugs im trying to work out before i can finally put it all together but for now here is a taster of the first Beach level. (which i made almost twice as long just before compiling)

Gameplay wise think of Mario bros and you're almost there.

Pretty good looking so far. The Union Jack at the end is a nice touch.

Hmm you forgot to reset the number of lives back to 3 when you die.

? i'm pretty damn sure i did. I wonder why it does that. Is it at all possible to change the name to add a (demo) on the end of it since i forgot too. I don't want to mislead people.

That squirrel looks like Crash Bandicoot.

Neato little platformer :), a few bugs with the grey blocks however: 1 - when you hit them going up you dont loose your y-speed so you stick to the roof an shoot up when you arnt touching them. 2 - sometimes you loose your y-speed instantly when you jump next to one touching it on the side. 3 - finally, sometimes when touching a higher wall of grey blocks you do a unnaturally high jump you jump while touching them on the side. as i said only with the grey blocks though, perhaps you should do the detection with groups (assuming you arn't :P) so you only need to code its once. keep it up though!

Its nice. the graphics are good.. a little.. bland tho. The gameplay is kinda bland.. all you *can* do is jump(unless im missing something). At least it runs smoothly

Not a bad little game you got in the making there, Andy. I eagerly await the full game.

I second the view that the squirrel looks like Crash Bandicoot

the other levels will introduce new aspects to the gameplay. I try to keep the game simple but also varied. The character was supposed to have a backpack with a bird inside that allows him to glide but that was too much like banjo kazooie

The graphics are alright. I like the level design, though. I wish I knew what the coins were for - they should make you jump higher, or shoot blobs, or something, to make them worth bothering to collect. Unless it's meant to be easy, I would put more enemies in, too! When you 'brush' a block on your way up, as you jump, it gives you a bit of a boost. Also, wasn't there a spring right under some spikes?!

by all you can do is jump, i meant the characters base movement.. even mario 1 could.. run and hold things.

Mario 2 could, but i dont think Mario 1 could.

Looks nice and simple, i might check it out.

I had the idea to put shops in certain levels where you can buy things like extra lives or powerups or even unlock hidden levels. The coins will have a use.

Mario 1 had powerups and interesting enemies and secrets covering every corner. This is a pretty shallow game :/

This level is easy and simple because it is the first level, i havent made the rest yet but i am listening to your critisisms. and plaease dont expect it to be as good as the mario series. They are after all questionably the best platform games ever.
