It's funny and crazy for a short while, reminding me of crazy glitches and corruption. But I have no clue how to even finish the first level... :dead
Wow look at me I'm lurking

Glad to hear it, that was the general idea!

It's not possible to do so. This is a small mod I made quickly that's going in a miscellaneous collection of various media (music, images, writing, etc.) that I'm working on and was just something I decided to whip up instead of a small Flash game I was working on in Stencyl because Stencyl crashed or something. However it did cause me to get some of the Keen modding tools set back up on this computer that I could potentially use for a more involved mod or levelpack at some other time, who knows?

I've always wanted to make another "proper" mod since I was never completely satisfied with Keen 0 (although I don't think it's necessarily so bad given I made it when I was in my early teens, and some people seem to like it and in terms of the learning experience of working on a mod it was worth doing even if I don't think the final work turned out that great), it's just that there tend to be all sorts of other things I'm interested in doing too.

Not possible? Aw, come on, man! This was going places! (Well, I guess it wasn't, but still. :p )

Still better than Keen Meets The Meats :p .

Um, actually you CAN play more (of the original) levels if you god mode and have the nerves to find them.

Wait, are you really explicitly stating that this is better than MtM, even though he made a joke? Wow. :dead2

I like this, too. Everything is so perfectly fuzzy. I remember getting errors like this with sprites that had were too long in length. Just imagine what it could be:

You can! Just download the link I posted. Sure, it's not compressed like Lass's release zip, but it works (according to consumer testimonies).

Your version crashes even earlier i.e. when I start a new game.

Yeah, that's the kind of stuff I made the off topic thread for.

I like the idea / what we see here. It has potential. The graphics are actually pretty cool.

Thanks. Like I say, I'm open to the possibility of maybe working on a version with more levels etc. at some point. Not sure whether I will but it's possible
