Personally I have no issue with the extra lives, but as we have discussed dozens of times before, I do understand how many Keeners see the extra lives as useless, especially with farming. On the Ye Olde Pirate Mod and on one of the Keen 4 levelpacks, I believe it was Short Circuit Oracle, there were...

mmmhhh... this is indeed a problem. thanks again for the hint. Yes, it is a problem. Once you go across the top, go down a pole, go through the secret passage that drops down to a corridor. Go down another pole, hit the switch, rising goplat takes you to the yellow and green gems. Hit a switch or t...

yeah, I was confronted with this issue as well when I built Buried in Oblivion. Eventually I've found a solution to gain access to this tricky spot. I added a gap in the ceiling for the player to adjust the position of Keen's sprite.
like so:

Wow, I never knew about that spot, thanks.

Soon I will endeavour to check all of those out!... All the female fronted heavy metal bands I mentioned earlier all have new records coming out soon. Butcher Babies are coming up with a new album most likely the beginning of next year. Infected Rain's new album Endorphin is coming sometime before ...

Personally I have not really had any issues with jumping on the 1 tile blocks or jumping in general. I did notice that the Impossible Pogo Trick does work slightly differently than in the Galaxy games. In Galaxy it is nearly impossible to do the IP when standing still and poging straight up. You hav...

Because this new mod is taking place after Atroxian Realm does that mean AR might have brief reference in the story or in the levels themselves?

One of these 24 levels is reserved for the boss battle and that's the only one of them that doesn't have a 3-Up in it. The boss battle has its own level due to memory limitations and is more or less part of the Sky Sactum level. If you exit to the world map during the boss battle, you have to re-pl...

As Nisaba said, and as Gridlock himself says in the endgame sequence, there is a 3up in all 24 levels. I have beaten the game and I can assure you all 24 3ups are reachable.

Obituary, Jinjer, Clutch...

Has anyone actually completed the game yet? I have completed it on easy and medium. Soon I will start the next difficulty. I believe I have found the majority of the secret areas, plus all the secret levels. Due to my refusal to swallow my pride and use in level saving or quick save, I have been una...

I do understand that many of the mods might be way too hard for people new to Commander Keen. Those of us who have played Keen since the original games were released and have been members of the online Keen community for almost the beginning, or at least fairly close to it, have played the overwhelm...

I understand how people can see a problem with too harsh punishments within a game just for the sake of a single mistake or two, especially when sometimes a game is designed with blind hazards, suicide jumps, etc. to bring about cheap deaths from the player, who can only avoid these deaths through t...

I can understand why a lot of people see the 1UP as pointless. But if you play games as they were intended to be played they would become more valuable. Saving, most especially in-level saving makes most Keen games way too easy. To me it is almost like playing with cheat codes all the time. The orig...

My all time favorite Keen enemy, who is probably one of the most dangerous Keen enemies of all is the Krodacian Overlord in Keen 9: Battle of the Brains. At least once a week, sometimes more, I will play Elevator Access Station and the Krodacian Overlabs on Hard, just to battle the Overlords again a...

:pogo :pogo :pogo Yep. I was starting to wonder if nobody would ever find it. Like most Galaxy mods I start on easy and play the game on all skill levels, complete every level, grab every point, extra life, rayguns, and look to find every secret area and passage. I do not want to just win the game,...
