Unfinished Mod: Keen 5 for Professional Gamers

Post by Pac-Man »

Hi there,

just wanted to drop by to give you some unfinished Keen 5 mod which will make your hairs gray because it's incredibly hard:
http://pacman.highfsb.com/pckf/Keen5Pro.zip

It's "just" the default Keen 5 with slightly modified maps (to make them harder) and muuuhuhuch more enemies.
Here's a video of the gameplay:
http://pacman.highfsb.com/pckf/Keen5Pro.mp4
^this one also gives you some hints about how to get through some really freaky and nasty spots in some levels (especially the one with the 3 spinning spindreds - placed so near at each other so that you only have 1 pixel to stand between them without dieing...).

I hope you like it.
Maybe I will finish this some time. But not yet :S

Yeah, nice! Keen 5 on steroids! Btw it'll be better if you upload your videos on youtube.

Also awesome to see someone new around. The project sounds cool, just don't overdo it. If you can't beat easy mode without cheating, then it's probably too hard.

As wiivn said, you should upload this to youtube. If you absolutely don't have an account, I may be able to upload it with my keen youtube account.

can you re-upload it?

my Win7 refuses to download it on account of being potentially dangerous.



someone else confirming the contrary would work, too

That's a good idea. There's some pretty cool stuff here. I like the ending seconds of the video. Click here to watch
Oh... I'm afraid I wasn't able to roll the footage at it's proper speed. Even so, it's still a good 4:07 long.

Change your user account control to "never notify"
Change your account type to administrator.
Disable or change your antivirus program.
Download Firefox or any other browser than IE.

Anything that gives me examples of horrible, horrible level dynamics is welcomed by me!

This levelpack is a walk in the park. Too easy. Add more enemies and obstacles :crazy .

Funny enough, the video was first posted on my old account on YouTube, I backed it up before deleting the account. My new account isn't for game videos, it doesn't fit the channels topic, so thanks to breakdownhouse for uploading it! :)

Looks like I may continue modding this now, since it's weekend, and it sounds like you like it :P

so, AFAIK, easy and medium modes only have changed hazards and layouts, so the only difficulty with added enemies is hard?



plz let me use cheats. i'm too rusty to get through most of the stupidhard maps

The Keenwiki has patches you can add to renable cheats.
