Keen 4 jumping glitch

Post by RoboBlue »

In Miragia, immediately before the wet suit is a branching path. If you take the left path (leading to the rest of the level), there's a small ramp leading upward. For some reason, if you jump while walking left on this ramp, Keen will stop all forward movement and jump back a space before making his proper jump.
It's not listed under keen 4 glitches on the wiki, so I thought I'd bring it up.
I'm running Keen 4 v1.1 btw.

This is due to an error in the tile info which marks part of the ramp as blocking. It'll be present in all slopes of the same angle for the ice platforms.

This explains the bug I found in Keen XMas 2010 (video). Thanks spammer for bringing this post to my attention!
