There we go, recorded on my desktop at 30 fps. Much better.

Change Log for Cave Bound 0.6.5

• Increased real in speed to make hill climb possible.
• Tightened up the hit detection
• Changed hook fire angle and velocity
• Changed level height to make the level starts easier
• Moved the camera in relation to the player. Player now sits lower on screen
• Changed level art, and removed level coloring temporarily.

The artist has given up on this project, but I have not.  Work will continue and I will redouble my efforts on this game.

I made the mistake of showing him the prototype too early. The prototype was already an addicting game. I had and still have some grand plans for the game. Including unlimited level generation, levels with thousands of branching stages, lives, continues, checkpoints,    power-ups, ghost replays, and live multiplayer.

The artist wanted to take an good prototype and make it into a great flash game, but not as replayable, addictive, deep, or social network friendly, as I want to, which will turn a good prototype into an amazing game.

This is probably for the best anyways, as I was wasting too much time trying to convince him that features are a good idea and people like games with features like multiplayer and deep gameplay via a simple interface.

Bug Fixes

• Replays recording and playing back should work 100% of the time now
• Player hit detection vs environment works much better now

Tweaks

• Increased real in speed slightly.
• Lowered rope speed by half.
• Player death animation changed a bit.

Please note that this is alpha software and is constantly being updated. The graphics and the gameplay are subject to change.

Lamp is broke, eyes are become lamp!

Made a new icon so I could host the auto updating .swf with mochi.

I gave him eyes! He didn’t have eyes. Now he does, and they glow with the power/anger of at least four-and-a-half lamps.
