Franz24 · July 27, 2011, 02:35:54 PM

Current Version: 5.4
If you don't have any version number on the Chapter Selection Screen you also need to update!

A story about friends.

Features:

5(!) chapters
An interesting story
A chapter selection screen
A lot of spikes, trinkets and people to save
Fun!

I put a lot of work in creating and testing everything, but if you don't like something, notice a grammar/spelling mistake, or find any glitches/bugs...
Please tell me!

Difficulty:
It isn't meant to be too hard (still, it should be challenging enough)
but the main purpose of the levels is telling a story

Please tell me what you think!

just tried this
at the top of the room "EVERYTHING" i died a lot, apart from that didn't have too much trouble. i got past it, so it isn't too hard, but if you're not going for a challenging level it could maybe be a little easier?

"Everything" shouldn't be too hard, I'll see if I can make it a little easier (still, it should emphasise that he really would do everything to get a friend)

I'm not very skilled at platformers so what seems quite hard to me might be fine for most players!

I'll keep it how it is now for the time being, and if more people report problems I'll change it

Cool level, I enjoyed it. I wish there was a way to skip to the beginning of a certain chapter. Maybe release each chapter as separate files?

I created a chapter selection screen at the beginning where you can choose where you want to start!

Update:
Worked until 3 AM -Dutch time- on Chapter 3, and I think it turned out great!
Enjoy! (download link updated)

I got the first crew member (The one where you have to disable the Gravity lines) and once i had got it Captain Viridian said a few lines of dialouge then refused to move. I decided to save and come back and see if that helped and came back to see this... http://i.imgur.com/Obrow.png

I don't mind as i'm actually pretty good at VVVVVV and got through the first levels pretty easily so i will just restart and go back to that spot. Just pointing it out to you in case you can fix it. I think it had something to do with the "Congratulations you saved a Crewmate" Dialouge overlapping the "Blue smiled" dialouge.

xOnixic · July 29, 2011, 09:45:17 AM

Ok every level i play is glitched now even the campaign cutscenes. Every level has those four ghost men. And i can't move. Hmph.

EDIT: I reinstalled and played the level again and the exact same thing happened once i got the Crewmate :/.

I played it and you were right about the problem, it was the two dialogs overlapping.
I made some changes and now it works fine again!
Have fun with the other two chapters ^^

Thanks will try it now

I ran into another glitch after saving Mario. I went back down into the room he was in and some text got frozen on the screen and pressing action does nothing. No ideas how to solve this one :/. I will start from chapter 2 although so hopefully it will be ok.

I didn't have any problems here testing, but I changed some things that should solve it, still I don't really know why it happened, so I'm not sure if it works...
Thanks for reporting!
