Feedback on a couple mods
Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2016 20:41
With a little kid, we tried out The Morticore and The Sqeek Battle (which are both mods made by me) together on 2-Player mode, and we had quite some fun. I found the graphics to look kind of interesting with the HQ filter on, and some of the levels in the two mods looked neat to me with the 640x480 wide view set on. For most of the time, it worked pretty well. We managed to found quite a number of problems (a couple of which forced us to cheat in order to progress) that are only found when playing them with Commander Genius. One of them, which seems to be on both mods, was a bug where even if a player has lost of their lives, they can still go on, and they can even still lose lives (and get a negative amount of lives). I have a feeling you guys forgot to program something for that.
A lot of patches don't seem to work when playing The Morticore with Commander Genius. Since one of them couldn't work, we had to cheat in order to get a free red gem (which would've been dropped by Mortimer when he is defeated). Here's a list of patches that don't appear to work while playing on Commander Genius:
During our time playing through The Sqeek Battle with Commander Genius, we managed to found quite a few problems, one of which had us use the C+T+Space cheat in order to get a free red keycard at the Great Green Wall level. Here's a list of them:

- On the level that had a school with a Magic Cheese (cheese with a rainbow look) inside, a Redfish Baby (which replaces the Jacks) managed to get out of the top area of the school, even though it wasn't really supposed to.
- On the Great Green Wall level, there was a red keycard that we weren't able to get without falling into the Redfishes on the floor after getting the card, due to the physics.
- After the Mortimer Capsule II (which replaces the Mangling Machine) was destroyed, it took quite a long time until the ending sequence pops up, longer than when the mod was ran the original way.
