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.

The only reason I would think to leave it is because bugs like this encourage "speed runs" of games. But as thats only a minor plus, probably won't keep it.

Yes. I personally had no idea about this bug until I just saw this video, but the few things that are wrong, you should fix if you want to... Even without them, though, this is an awesome mod.

i actually figured this out in hard mode, so we know it is achievable with all 3 difficulties

oh, i also found a ...curious glitch when fighting the ICK, apparently, if you time it right near the ship, you can get him 1 tile above normal, then he just falls back down, and killed me. sorry, i didn't snap a screenshot

I took this snappy in Hydro Corp 2. Does someone want to translate the scrawls?

Also, I wasn't cheating. I have that many lives because I hadn't lost any up till that point, and found more than a few extras.

That first one is probably "LEVELLASS". The bottom right corner of my scorebox is hiding the first L.

Now don't get ahead of yourself. We all know that "LEVELLASS" is a member of the PCKF, but how can we be sure that those scrawls actually mean to point out her? We also know that all the other SGA-messages are names of members, but that doesn't mean that the "-EVELLASS" must be the name of a member too.
