Kurt_Woloch Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) OK, so this is my first entry for the level contest. I drew these by hand, but then I thought if I've already got them ready, I might as well scan them and post them here. I've taken a look at the arcade screenshots and tried to create levels that resemble them in some way while keeping true to the limitations of your kernal. The bomb count on each level has been reduced from 24 to 18 since there are also fewer bomb positions than in the arcade (40 instead of 81). The platforms and walls are represented by lines, and the bombs are represented by circles. Edited September 12, 2007 by Kurt_Woloch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and the first screen contains a crossed-out bomb on the lower left since I initially had 19 bombs in there, but that didn't seem like a good number to me. nice level designs! But the layout number 14 shouldn't appear in the game IMO Edited September 12, 2007 by Nognir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I redesigned layout number 14 so that it's not that offending anymore, at the same time as clearing up some of the other levels. And yes, I did delete the old version of the attachment, even on my harddisk, so there should be no evidence of the original level 14 layout.

Gateway Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Okay, as the game is now, I spent 15 minutes trying to reach this bomb with no luck! I know this game is in the early stages, so I hope Jack's movement is still a WIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt_Woloch Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Okay, as the game is now, I spent 15 minutes trying to reach this bomb with no luck! You have to do a "high jump" in order to reach it... by holding the joystick up as you jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steril707 Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 Sorry for the long silence. I have been into a new job, and that plus some interest in AROS (an alternate new Amiga OS) took my time for while. I will go on coding some more S.K.O.B. soon, when time contraints get a little bit more loose. greets to everybody, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steril707 Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) Okay, as the game is now, I spent 15 minutes trying to reach this bomb with no luck! I know this game is in the early stages, so I hope Jack's movement is still a WIP. I just started working again in SKOB, so i remembered your post. Actually i tried it out now, and i wondered, why don't you just jump on the lower right platform, and jump up from there? Should be easy to reach that bomb from there... I mean, it's not necessary to do that, since you can already use the aforementioned high jump, but well, i just wanted to state it ...
