[PureQuestion]

fantastic game.

Is there a list of all the items you can get, mayhaps?

and what they do.
I must say, I was disappointed with what the cape did.

[brog]

What the cape does, is make you have an awesome cape streaming behind you.  I think maybe it had some effect on jumping, but I never cared because I was too busy admiring Indie's dashing style with his awesome cape.  And then I died.

It slows down fall speed if you press jump again in mid-air.

I was expecting double jump, hence my disappointment.

Another bug -- or perhaps a game maker limitation?
I pressed escape and went off to dinner, then when I came back the screen was blank and I had this:

___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 1
of Begin Step Event
for object oScreen:

Trying to use non-existing surface.

And pressing ignore gave me more of the same error, although it seems it redrew some of the screen before displaying it again.

Up+X to open, Down+X to pick up?

And what in the world is the key for?

A list of items and short descriptions would be ace.

However, as for getting the variety of a roguelike with the fun of a platformed

What's wrong with that?  It feels so natural! after 288 plays

And what in the world is the key for?

To unlock the chest.

A list of items and short descriptions would be ace.

But discovering them is part of the fun of the game!

Aah! A brothel! Now I have to play the new version... but I want to work on my own game... ack, I am so conflicted. 

As an aside, this game seems to be attracting some new people to the forums, which is neat.

if there's a key in a level, there is also a locked chest.

I'll compile a quick list of items I know for you, while I'm at it:

Cape: press Z in mid-air to slow fall.

Eye of Udjat: let's you see jewels hidden in walls. will always be released form locked chests. I've never found two locked chests, so maybe the second gives soemthing else.

Climbing gloves: Useful! let's you cling to walls, and jump. basically, everywhere is an edge.

Jetpack: when I found this, I freaked. you can float for a short period of time. very useful. recharges on contact with ground. reminiscent of cave story's boosters.

there's also bomb paste, which makes your bombs stick to walls. it will always be dropped if you manage to kill a giant spider.

so did I. it's not quite as awesome as the jetpack.

also the jetpack can't warp you into walls.

Why does the Leon shoot me all the time?

Also is there an endgame or does this just go on forever? I haven't gotten very far (I keep dying on level 2   ).

It's fun so far. I've been alternating between a gamepad and the keyboard to see which one feels better.

[vdgmprgrmr]

Alright, so after 250 plays I still haven't seen level 7...

Seriously, I mean, like, now it's going from "challenge" to "pissing me the hell off."

I beg once more for an "Easy" difficulty level. I'm not fond of the idea of only being exposed to a small portion of a game simply because of my skill level.

Fat chance, girlie!

Man, did I feel great when I blew up this shopkeeper, snatched his shotgun, put on the fancy cape, put the compass in my pocket and took hold of the teleporter. Then I teleported into the wall. ...

[Valter]

Fat chance, girlie!

:D

Also, vdgmprgrmr, you definitely get better as you go. I can make it to area 3 with fair ease every time I play now. If you pay attention (and don't steal from the shopkeepers!), it gets progressively easier.
