Keen Episode 3 1/4: The Volticons Attack! <ABANDONED>
You can't get stuck in there. The yorps are invulnerable, so you can stun them, but not kill them. So if you get frozen, the yorps will push you and you will unfreeze after a while. It's pretty simple. I'm now working on the yorp replacement. Thanks for comments, guys! And I did not tweak it, I just placed two ice down sprites, because they can't be shot from the middle of the cannon, only from the sides and that would look weird with just one icecube. I was planning to use another diagonal ice cannon on the floating platforms to endanger you, but it was way 2 hard, so I deleted it.
HERE is the new vid. Sorry for having you to download it, but I couldn't upload it to youtube. Please tell me your opinions - I can improve the mod only if you do! If someone wants to download a demo of the mod, just PM me. I probably won't post it here, because if I did, people who wanted surprise won't get it.

Cool, is this really supposed to take place on mars or is it just using a placeholder map for now? Is there any way to get the teddy bears trapped in ice? I found it curious that the volticon turned into a regular vorticon when it died, does this imply some unnatural transfusion going on? (Some new app added to the mindbelt perhaps?)
Are any/all of the old enemies going to have replacements or are the old ones shown (pat pat, robots) really going to stay as they are?

Yeah, it will be on mars. Download the story to see why. The tankbot will definitely have a replacement, and the butler bot probably too. But I'm curious with the pat pat. I really don't know what to use instead of it. I'm open to suggestions on the pat pat replacement. Well, the Shikadi enslaved the Vorticons again (they have mindbelts, the story can tell you where did they get 'em) and they helped each other to blow up Gnosticus IV. So Keen must go to Mars and find some items to destroy the spaceship that has to destroy Gnosticus. The Volticons are, in fact, ordinary Vorticons, but Shikadi granted them the power to turn into energy. When a Volticon dies, he can't use that power any more, so he turns into a classic mindbelted Vorticon.
The enemies' names:
The gray metal yorp replacement is Meball. (metal/ball)
The blue hungry garg replacement is Gobblet. (gobble)
How do you like the enemies?

Yeah, piece of cake!
Hey, nice enemies. I've got one suggestion for the Gobblet: The space between his teeth is white right now. You should change that, either (if you want to keep it conventional) to black, with maybe a little tongue showing, or (if you want to do something weird, and alien) I suggest you put an eye in there between those teeth
You crack me up little buddy!
I would devise against it, for your first mod anyway, because the handling of those tilted view platforms is rather complicated. Each platform that appears to be single tiled is pieced together from at least 2 to 4 background and blocking tiles.
A little easier would be to make platforms that are only seen slightly from the top, but not from the side, like lately in Keen Xmas, or even more fitting for the Vorticons engine, like in Spleen's Retrosis. You might also want to have a look at Xkykeen 2 aka Keen Null for graphical ideas of that kind.

The ice ones are finished! Woah! They look MUCH better than I expected. Here you go. Sorry, I couldn't upload it to Youtube again.
Download it, you'll see what awaits you. If you like it, I'll work on the frozen slippery ones (yes, these giant ice cubes will probably be in 3D! ) and finally on the red ground ones. I'm open to all suggestions and will improve the mod if you tell me what you like/don't like. Enjoy!
