On the second level, with the coin arrows pointing up, i jumped and the boss killed me right away. may want to fix that.

scotthillman, thanks for the input!  I think I will take the mouse and kb consideration in and allow people to navigate the menus and restart by using the keyboard instead.  I kinda started making this game before I realized how good my flash skills were.  I realized I could program anything I wanted into it and didn't see any boundaries.  This is why the game takes off in multiple tangents like castlevania/metroid style.  This game was never meant to be completed but now that I took it this far I will most likely finish it.  This is my first real game I made in flash btw, but I am very adept at making websites and other misc tools with flash.  But either way, I never imagined the game getting this far and I still think the enemies are too easy that dying in one hit is appropriate if I cap the game at three levels.

rjbman, if you don't want to die from the boss, don't jump into him.  The game is made so you have to know he's there or else you will die from jumping into him. Maybe there should be a forgiveness system if you jump into him the first time you meet him?

Yeah maybe. it was just kind of weird, the arrows pointed up so I jumped up, then boom i died.

hey hey hey dont critisize him he MADE "it" from SCRATCH(i hope not that editor 0-0) but yes it is really kool :)

not bad...but u are missing some perspectives, 3D demension and the enemys are too strong. There is also some glitches. But its not that bad for first try

Just an idea... is there any way you make it so when you jump, you don't go to the next screen? like, have it more gradual?

Koi, thanks for the kind words!

Loloy, thanks for the input! I made the enemies "catch" you in one hit because they are so easy to defeat.  If you have the gun you can basically wipe out all the enemies in a level easily.  The bosses take only 50 health away from you though because the bosses were too hard to kill without dying once.  I know about most of the glitches but haven't gone about fixing them all quite yet.

Rjb, is this what you are talking about? http://3dmitchell.com/freeDL/gametutFLASH8.swf  A level transition?  Or are you talking about leaving the predefined screen height and going to the upper height level?  If you are talking about the latter, it wouldn't be so hard to do but it would be more work than it is worth.  I think the instant height change is appropriate to give the maximum control of the character, I may be wrong though.

Yeah it was the second thing. Alright though it's only a suggestion. Good luck with your game.
