Downloaded it now and playing the first level. So far I think it's absolutely fantastic! The only complaints are the ones mentioned before such as not being able to grab on to things and I also get a bit confused when you need to hold down the jump button to glide as I'm used to just pressing once, other than that it's fantastic :)

Edit: Wow, now I noticed some of the Rayman 2 2D prototype object and that is fantastic!

Sorry, it's meant to be hard. :P Besides, I'm done with this game, I will only be updating it if there are bugs that prevent you from playing.
I have other projects in mind already.

Excuse me awesome 2d side scroller for nostalgic graphics is these any save data/save state which is working?I played that game and it seems save game progress is like playing sega genesis games when you press "reset" you have to play game again from beginning to end(it was only in 90's).Metaphorically today we have special accessories to load game state.

You can save in the map, but save states like in emulators where you can save in every point you want aren't optional in the game, if that's what you mean. Or are you saying that saving is not working for you at all? I know there were some problems with saving in the demo, but they were fixed.

Indeed. The full version saves in the same folder where the .exe is. :)

can you explain me how this "emulation" of save stating works?Because trial version and full game works like Lock-On technology not like loading "virtual" state like in old sega,atari and nintendo consoles from past when 2d platformers were very popular.

The main menu music is hilarious. :lol:

I think you should try making the camera like it is from Rayman, instead of it being so basic, just precisely following the character. It's not often a fangame actually comes out, finished, so it would be really nice to see the finished game be as polished as possible!

One other thing: The walk cycle is jittery, and I see this a lot on Rayman fangames. It makes me think each frame in the animation the sprite is centered, instead of being in a position relative to where it was in the frame before.

(Did that make sense? I had trouble writing that one out.)

Good job over all though! I like the direction.

I agree with both of these. I just didn't think of the camera features before, but it's still possible to be implemented it afterwards if I wanted to. I'm actually using the more smoother camera with my current platformers. :)
I struggled a lot with the walking cycle when I made it, it doesn't sync with the ground and it's indeed still not perfect, but I'll just leave it be for now, I don't have any plans to do any changes to the game anymore.

In emulators you can save whenever and wherever you want, but in this game you can only save at the savepoints. The full version just doesn't ask the name of the file like the demo version did. :wink:

When I select "Play" and I want to load save data it says "SAVE DATA NOT FOUND!".It's sad fact.I don't force you to fix load/save game,but it could be a big relief.

Oh, well I don't know what's causing it. It works for me and you are the first one to report that the saving is not working. What's your os?

Hmm, I think it worked for me when I tested it on W8.1. Are you running the game from an external hardware and are you running as administrator?
