Zoltan's revenge

Here is where to post about the latest Commander Keen fangame or modification you've finished, a new website you've made, or another Keen-related creation.

I like that Gerstrong, I think it would be a good learning experience and a way to test (and even stretch) the limits of Commander Genius.

If you can somehow get this 100% compatible with CG... you have beyond succeeded, you are a pure winner, and you have become my idol.

As did I! The graphics remind me of God of Thunder.

I never realised the Paddle War and other wrist computer screens were all loaded at the same time. Well, I assume that's what the uninterrupted music reveals.

They're not. Music will keep playing unless a 'stop music' command is run. Usually followed by 'start music' with a different song.)

The menu has no music commands, so inserting one to run whenever the main menu is loaded will give music until the game is returned to. I have recently found out how to add music to the computerwrist too.

I was wondering that as I walked away from my computer after posting - much like how anything written in GML (lame, I know) doesn't stop music until a command is given.

This mod really is great.

Buena Vista: Sweet!

Crystal Mines: I can't figure out how to beat it.

Forest Vale: This is it? :confused

Heh, I noticed you made a subtle change to keen's sprite for the vorticons-style perspective 8)

edit: the air raid level: Holy garg! This is the most fun idea for a well of wishes recolor ever! :eek

I wanted to test out some patches for something similar, I think there's a lot of potential for flying levels. Or even levels that mix normal gameplay with flying. But I'm going to see if my idea for a Cosmo like airboard might work better.

If you're refering about the disappearing platforms, just make keen look up, and you won't fall.
At least that's how I passed that part.
I finished the pyramid by saving step by step :)

I didn't notice this (yay for lack of proper observance...)
What's the change?

They work on flat, not 2.5D tiles. Mostly it's standing, walking and ledgegrabbing that's different.

Then don't play it. :p

Frankly, does anyone actually run out of lives at all? Are 1UPs worth ANYTHING in Keen? What with save scumming and all I frankly dislike the entire lives system and I'm not alone. It's a relic of the arcade days and the 'insert coin to continue' there's no need for it.
