New Game: Thoroughly Modern Willy
Re: New Game: Thoroughly Modern Willy
Everyone's had this except Bob then, who playtested with infy lives and will know the gameplay inside out. When I was on this level I had 1 life left and started using (a LOT of) snapshots. Might means the bug is death/restart related?

Re: New Game: Thoroughly Modern Willy
I used snapshots and kept 2 lives at the bot-left of the screen, so I snapped after losing a life somewhere along the line.
I've also tried jumping at the exit from different places to see if it makes any change, nope, just ends up in a crash to reset (sounds like a great name for a band)

Re: New Game: Thoroughly Modern Willy
I think it's downright unfair of you lot to be playing this game in a different manner to myself.
I have a suspicion I've done something to the code in generating the final version which is a compressed single block If I play through to level 5 on the uncompressed version it doesn't appear to crash on entering the exit.
I've uploaded the uncompressed version along with a snapshot (.szx) before entering the exit on level 5.

Cheers Bob, good ending!
Great wee game, level 5 is by far the hardest.

Re: New Game: Thoroughly Modern Willy
Glad you liked it. Everyone's been very charitable with my wonky code - which made level 5 a lot harder than I ever intended it to be. Guess I'll have to do a post competition release now.

Just downloaded. In the 1st attempt, I couldn't reach second screen... off form, definitely!

Re: New Game: Thoroughly Modern Willy
I've updated the download link in the first post with a fixed version which doesn't crash out after finishing level 5.
