You're keeping the "The Keenest" section? Will there be high scores in this one or is it just there because it just is?

I had some reason for keeping it, but I can't remember what it was anymore.

Totes a showdown level.

It would be difficult to program an actual tournament feature in, wouldn't it? I mean, the game cuts off players as they lose, leading to a 1v1 final game of the best survivors.

Removing Mortimer? Why? His replacement doesn't look as epic

Though I do like the idea of upgrading Netkeen.
I personally think you should keep Mort (original), but you're the programmer

Keep up the good work Ceilick!

Mortimer is replaced by the Keen 3 version of Mortimer/Android Dummy.

Yeah I know... I just like the other one better but it doesn't matter.

If you need any beta testing or anything I'd be glad to help ;)

Tile properties haven't been started yet, but here's the first arena: Border Town.

Columns edges look too flat.

So there isn't any way of having more than a certain set number of characters right?
:yorp
Also, it's looking really good Ceilick! Keep up the good work

Don't worry about it. Mortimer, Council Member, Council Page, and Pajama Keen will always be in the Galaxy episodes of NetKeen. Since these are new levels modeled after the Vorticon series, it only makes sense to have Android Dummy and the other aforementioned characters in the new cast.
This is something of an expansion, not a replacement.

Awesome dome background by fantomx11.

Some WIP:

Additionally, I'm planning an Ice level. Once I've got these 5 levels done for keen 1, and the needed tiles worked out (creating a functioning tileset in Galaxy is a major pain), will be moving to keen 2. Most likely going to do at least 5 levels for each episode.

Oh wow, as with last time these are beautiful.

Especially the underground parts of the second one!
