You crack me up little buddy!
Wow, another new mod. Have to try this one later. Edit: Screenz pleez.
My newest mod - Commander Keen: Sunset: viewtopic.php?t=8568 | codename H.Y.E.N.A.
I started playing a bit, my response so far is that its hard Graphics are well done, reminds me a lot of Norp 3, but still being unique in its own way. I especially like the munching of those yellow worms.
I actually thought this was a Keen3 mod until I jumped on the bone tank Yeah, not sure why I thought that...
The lights off to start with was interesting and took some getting used to. After awhile, it became apparent to me that i needed to strategize to get the light on in a level before doing anything else. An intro level with the "find the lightswitch" theme might be a good idea.
Will comment further when I get the chance to play more.

Okay, so I finally beat it, on easy mode, and I have to say it was incredibly hard. I don't even want to think about what hard mode is like.
Nice job graphically, the levels did have a lot of good challenges, but they were made way to hard by what felt like overkill. Often there was just like one tile of fire conveniently placed to kill me, or something of that nature. I think you should design future levels with the idea that the player is going to be making a lot more errors than you expect. Other than that though, great mod, and looking forward to silcar 5

It's interesting that my mod is found to be so hard. I had a feeling when I created it that it was a lot less hard than Silcar 2 or 3.
Maybe it's just that my keening skills went up a notch over the last year. I tried to play Episode Smile again yesterday, and found I was able to complete the first 8 levels without too much trouble...
Don't be afraid of Normal and Hard, it basically only changes the behaviour of the Bact (and changes it to BactNinja on hard), and you gain a bit less shots, but no more hazards.
I'll possibly make Silcar 5 easier, simply because it'll be Keen5 and I'm not that good at playing Galaxy.

I'm playing it on normal mode and I really don't think it's as hard as ceilick says. Actually, it's about as difficult as the first three Keen episodes, which were bloody hard to begin with, but average by Nintendo standards
The enemies are easy enough to deal with, but the stupid horns all over the place is what keeps getting me. One time I experienced a strange anomaly where I jumped on a purple bird and it instantly turned into a skeleton truck o_0 What in blazes?

I guess it all depends on each individual player's skill. If some of the more advanced players are finding this mod hard, then as a moderate player, I will probably find it difficult as well.VikingBoyBilly wrote:I'm playing it on normal mode and I really don't think it's as hard as ceilick says.

That is possible, because I took the stomping ability from the yorp and moved it to the tank bot, seems that one time that didn't work...One time I experienced a strange anomaly where I jumped on a purple bird and it instantly turned into a skeleton truck o_0 What in blazes? Confused
