No. I jumped to the left, missed my mark and fell into a pit, IIRC (I distinctly remember a "shit, dead *again*" feeling). I should have bumped against the left wall of the pit and then go straight down to the bottom of the pit - instead I kept falling down/left as if there was no wall and into the next room(s).

How about "BOB" or "BoB" for the name of the game..??

Okay, well I haven't been able to find this room, I ran around for sometime trying to figure out where it could be, there was however another room where an elevator could push you into the wall which made you fall into the top of the room to the right of the second house. It was this room:

I have fixed those two areas now atleast. If the bug you encountered was in any other room I would be extremely grateful if you could post a screenshot of which room it was!

Well, should BOB be short for something in that case? Or just the name of the character? It sounds a little generic to me but I guess it's better than "The Game"

Yeah the name of the character,Maybe Bob's Day Out or something.

Great game btw works fine on my A1700.

maybe since it is inspired by "You have To win The Game", a similar name can appear

Like, "You Can't Win The Game", which I think for now it's accurate haha!

Mrs Beanbag · 13 June 2015, 15:07

he shouldn't be called Bob anyway because he is a sprite

a general rule i have now when naming things, is that it has to be easy to find it with Google.

edit: "Nudd's Labyrinth"

Great work! Not had a chance to try it. Given what you said about A500 and speed issues, think I might have to play via emulation.

Predseda · 18 June 2015, 22:20

Just played it, got those speed boots, but damn - some screens are NASTY and I am just unable to pass them.

spud · 22 June 2015, 01:08

I'm stuck on this screen! Perhaps I'm missing a power up?

jayminer · 22 June 2015, 09:40

Spoiler alert!

To get through that room you need to touch the block under the spikes, jump under it and cling on to it from the other side, then jump over to the right block under the spikes, from there it should be safe to just glide down and make a double-jump to get to the right side!

spud · 22 June 2015, 10:29

Just an admission it was impossible would have sufficed!

Now I have to go back and have another go at it. How many lives I wonder will I spend on this screen?

Mrs Beanbag · 22 June 2015, 12:30

yeah that one took me a while... and there are harder screens than that

quahappy · 25 June 2015, 14:44

Thanks Mrs Beanbag for pointing me here. Had previously downloaded the first version and for whatever reason (real life no doubt...), hadn't played it. Have now downloaded the latest version and plan to try it later. Congratulations, jayminer; this looks great. In AMOS too. That alone has given me the nudge I need to get back into AMOS Programming. Once I know how to fathom it all out again (it's been 20 years since I was heavy into it).

@jayminer - Will mention your game for it to be added in the Amiga games (WIP / Released) index thread.

Wow, awesome!

Btw, I'm hoping to make a final release in the not too distant future, I'm have my vacation now so I some have time to spend on finalizing the game!

Wow
