This is the first demo to Blaze! In "Bye, Bye, Earth" There is one level to play. Enemy AI still may be wonky. This is close to how the Sewer level will be in the final game but still may change. All sounds and music are currently placeholder.

Controls are:
Arrow keys to move
Control to jump and enter the level(That would be the black hole)
Enter to Pause

Enjoy.

Has a nice feel to it. Keep up the good work!

(Though, the beginning almost gave me a seizure with all the overlapping words. May want to tone that down a bit.)

I've toned that down, now. Thanks for the suggestion. Anything more to add on the gameplay?

Kudos for the Commander Keen influence and sounds (even if they are place holders). Nice demo, keep it up

One thing I did notice though, on the type of platform like he's standing on in the second screenshot, you can't look up or down.

Other than that, good job!

Yeah, moving platforms were giving me so much trouble. I hope to have them fulling working soon with looking up and down.

I had got stuck in the pipes if I jumped up near them. (The ones that are dripping) Once I was stuck I would be moved upwards until on a standable surface.

I have not come across that problem before but I will look into and fix it.

Nice demo. It plays well. Has a certain smooth soft quality to it.

You better fix that pipe problem though, it happens to me as well. It's the pipe above the switch on the left at the beginning part. I played clear through this demo btw. It's not really my style as there's not enough happening, the enemies do that one hit an' you're dead thing, and you have to hunt for keycards to get to the next area (I've always hated that in games). But it's made well and plays nice and smooth.

That depth perspective style of graphics is the sort of thing I've been wanting to add to my 2.5d project.
You've got a nice display of that style going on.
The way my coding is set up is actually more complicated than it had to be. If I had used this perspective of graphics that you show here from the beginning, then I could have used the angled sides as detectors for the sidewall and avoided alot of the complex solid wall while jumping code to keep the character from jumping through the walls.
Now I'm not really sure if they'll work with my code without changing things around a bit.
