Thanks - needs some more work in areas, but mostly polish and stuff. I may tweak and alter some more things (still a couple of temporary sounds in there for example too), but on the whole I'm pleased with how its gone mostly. The basic idea is you use crates/cubes etc to reach levels that regular jumping doesn't allow. You can also use the things you pick up to block enemy fire and walk past floor things like spikes etc.
Yeah the bird - I wanted it just to be something you just avoid, but goes with a bang if you hit it. lol Later levels they sh*t explosive turds lol firing enemies fire rate increases, and other things not seen in the video make life difficult. On the whole, collect gems, powergems (big blue ones), and get a time lower than the set level time. Gaining each gives a star at level end. 27 levels, last level is boss level.
