Oddly, when I reached the store, it was a craps house with the red light reserved for kissing booths.

That's pretty funny - it's like the damsel escaped and the shopkeeper was like "I guess I'll just go into gambling instead!"

That would make sense if picking up the woman over at the pit didn't make him immediately call me a thief.

Hm, lady troubles!  I haven't been able to replicate any of these weird damsel bugs, unfortunately.  How often does this happen and is there any place that it always seems to occur?

With the damsel bumping wall thing, it happens almost always for me. I can replicate it very easily. Hold up while I try and make a video of it.

Ran into a bug with the level editor, but I don't even know what's going on. I made a starter level and every time I jump on a certain platform, my character acts kinda slidy, like he's on ice, I can't jump, and I take a point of damage every second or so.

Once you reach the right side of the map, drop down and double back, it's the first two block platform with the little ladder-and-platform tile on top of it.

made a short level collection. ordered from a to i.

Pretty simple, really. not very good though. go ahead and try them.

k, I finally got the damsel to explode a couple of times!  I just wanted to make sure it wasn't some system-specific problem (which would suck, big time).

Could someone try this and see if I fixed it?  Should work with the climbing gloves, as well.

Difficulty whiners: this game is obviously not FOR you.  You are all acting like Counter-Strike fans whining at a Madden Football 2009 forum about Madden Football 2009 having no guns and no first-person view.

Ah, nice - thanks!  Xion, can you try doing that with the damtest and see if anything happens?

Way to take down those straw men! Might want to read the thread before insulting random people in it, bud.

The test version seems promising so far, previously I was smashing damsels against the cieling left and right!

I had a really promising run, and it all ended when I was sitting too close to a lava pool.. "that's a sweet fire effe-OHSH "

With some more experimentation, it appears those ladder-with-platform tiles are pretty buggy all around. That spontaneous death in my custom map is from walking through it, and other ones I've messed around with seem dangerous. I wonder if they might not be to blame for the "Fall down too fast and hurt yourself on a short fall from a ladder" thing, too.

Bug report regarding a new feature.

I died on a "You hear rushing water" level in the jungle, and started over, and it seemed every time I restarted level 1, it too was a "You hear rushing water" level... only with no water at the bottom. Just a pit.

I was in Area 4, and found a lava pit with one side consisting of two pushable blocks. Pushing the blocks did not eliminate the lava in the process.

on the difficulty curve - I've played it clean over 500 times, and i've had no wins.

I think the game could be made a LITTLE easier, but not as to break game balance.

I'd like to suggest alternate methods of healing, the damsel is quite simply just not enough. Maybe first-aid kits in the crates, that provide an instant health boost? but these should be uncommon, but not as so you only see them once in a blue moon.

She's not exploding. Seems fixed!

Edit: but I notice it seems she cannot be thrown in narrow areas with a 1 tile high ceiling?

first win. yaaaaay.
