Bad guys, or moving parts or things. Maybe a goal. Love the idea anyway, could make for some really awesome puzzles.\r\rAnyway, I wanted to explore more than what was possible (for me, at least) so I wrote this little hack of a javascript (I only tested it in chrome), it lets you click on the level to re-position your dude (for example, so you could make it past really hard \/ frustrating jumps, or untrap yourself or even to teleport to impossible locations): it's all one line, so just copy & paste it into your F12 debug console. :D\r\rvar __mouse = { x: 0, y: 0 }; window.onmousemove = function (e) { __mouse.x = e.clientX; __mouse.y = e.clientY; }; window.onmousedown = function() { player.pos.x = __mouse.x; player.pos.y = __mouse.y + 5; player.ctx.clearRect(0, 0, player.ctx.canvas.width, player.ctx.canvas.height);};"},{"author_name":"madlee","author_uid":"15236","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 12:10pm","epoch":1367409900,"text":"thanks guys! I have started working on some proper level design, which is making it feel much more like a game to me. I will probably release an updated version sometime in the next couple of weeks once I've done, then I'll look into adding some more gameplay features. Not sure if I want to do enemies, but it does need some other challenge. \r\rand nice work with the hackery BrainSlugs83 :)"},{"author_name":"0beah","author_uid":"22101","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 3:42pm","epoch":1367422620,"text":"I absolutely love this game mechanic!"},{"author_name":"iamorim","author_uid":"18057","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 4:56pm","epoch":1367427060,"text":"Thanks for your comment.
