Thanks for all the wonderful comments, guys! :o

Yeah, Treasure eater's also explained in the story.

I'm not sure what the issue with screen tearing is all about though, as large levels would have this issue on a new win 7 and on an xp it doesn't happen as much. I'll probably release it as is, with instructions for how to fix screen tearing issues if they arise.

As for the bag, here's my quick edit/suggestion on the left:

Also, Johnny looks kind of out of place with his sunburn.

This is awesome. These are probably my favourite keen style graphics that I ever saw.

Sir, you are forcing me into a severe and total redo of WIE. If this keeps up, there will be a mod duel.

I am actually most impressed by the trampoline - it highlights exactly how well you have managed to make the perspective work with the extra depth.

This is exceptional. (Except maybe for the path on the left side of the pool - sides not parallel. I don't know if there is a reason for this or not but it looks a bit strange.)

Slowest. Duel. Ever.

Actually they are, but I can see what you mean. This illusion must have something to do with the perspective, maybe.

Hey, here's a thought. Make it seem more like an adventure game... by letting the person enter the same level more than once perhaps? Dunno, just a thought...

Darn tootin' it is. I have been set back *months* I swear, my ground was near identical to his. How does that happen?

I will have to patch my way out of things.

Hey - I noticed your pronoun ambiguity there. Just chiming in to let you know that I'm a dude.. :lol ...And that this mod is completely astounding! The update has inspired me. I've got so many ideas for music it's not even funny!
And those screenshots.. Those scenes are so well-done! I can't even begin to imagine how you even accomplished that with the Galaxy tile system! My first thought was "no way this dude did all this with tiles, it must have been a free-hand job in MS paint."

This project reminds me of why I started Keening in the first place! Get ready for several new tunes!

Good gracious, that looks really great! The "Commander Keen" text looks good in green. Does Spot look like he's losing his figure?

Simply great... I'm amazed and like it!


To be a critic though, as nobody is 100%... the yorp needs some work.
