FLaiL

http://www.mattmakesgames.com/games/FLaiL.zip

FLaiL is a physics-based platformer with 80 stages. Two player co-operative play is included, and a third player can jump in at anytime by using the mouse cursor to drop bombs on the stage in an attempt to disintegrate the other players. There is a level editor and meticulous stat tracking, as well as other unlockable features.





Thanks for your time!

It's ridiculously cool.  Frontpage'd.

Btw, level 4-4 is just...

[Eric McQuiggan]

This game is a lot of fun! Thanks for making it.

[Matt Thorson]

Wow, thanks for the "Highly Recommended" tag, Derek!

*feels special*

BTW, this game is 100x easier (and in my opinion more fun) with a gamepad.  I highly recommend using one.

I've played it with a gamepad, and it's really really funny

[AnTeevY]

The game is really cool, I like the gravity changes and the "fly" feature.

Sadly I've got no gamepad, so the controls are quite...slippery and mostly I can't manage to get where I want to get. Maybe you could lower the sensitivity a bit?

I loved An Untitled Story, so this should be fun. I'll try it later today...

IT HAS BEEN RELEASED!!!

I'm at 3-4

[Boder]

Yes, I can play it!

I thought it was going to have the slow bug I've had with some game maker games, but after I created a profile it miraculously sped up to normal speed (about a 4x speed improvement).

And this is reproducible 

Maybe you can help me fix the slowmo bug! If you have an idea what it is...

Other problem is I created a profile with ALT for charge, but now I need to change it because it brings up the system menu. Am I going to lose my progress?

Edit: Yay for profile hacking.

[Matt Thorson]

You can actually change your controls on the settings menu, but the controls have no bearing on the checksum in the profile files so you can just edit them with notepad too if you want.

AAAARGH THIS GAME MAKES ME WANT TO EAT A BABY

But hey, I like it. Crazy hard games are fun, as long as they're not unfair like I Wanna Be The Guy.

I think this was a big improvement over your last game, presentation-wise. The graphics and music feel a lot more polished. I like the point system to unlock stuff, that way you don't have to play through every single level to unlock new areas. (which is good, because I can only beat about 75% of the levels.  :D I'm on area 5 right now.)

The only control issue I've had is with jumping off legdes: it's way to easy to acidentally pull yourself up a ledge when you want to jump off of it. This has lead to countless stupid deaths on my part.

[Boder]

YMM, can you please see if there would be anything majorly different for input or rendering (most likely) that would change after you load the profile.

Because this gamemaker slow-mo bug has affected Dire Haven, Poyo, and Goldeneye 2D.

[EvilDrBin]

Haha, what a brilliantly vicious little game =D Works perfectly on my eeepc too, so I'll no doubt be swearing on the train alot next week.

[Valter]

Well, I decided to try it (having come from I Wanna Be The Guy  :D), and I'm up to world five so far. I'm doing a video walkthrough of all the levels on youtube, and I'll have the first few worlds up soon.

EDIT: What the hell? How do you do 5-5? I think it's glitched, 'cause I can't see any possible way to do it from here.

Pressing FLY in the purple areas will shift the gravity.
