Hm...the laser ended up slowing the game down considerably. Unless somebody can think of a faster algorithm, I'll be unable to keep it.

Is it necessary to have it pxl-test at every spot along the line?  It might be possible to have it test every 5 pixels or something.  One couldn't get very advanced with that, though...

I am working on one, It seems fast but I don't know yet.

I'd like to keep it, but I'm not very sure anymore. I don't know how the gameplay element would even work in level design. Phenomist says it's pretty much useless.
If I ditch this, I'll definetely replace it with something more epic.

Hmmm i can't think of anything particularly, it seems like a difficult problem D: Maybe moving 5 pixels a step, and if you are within 5 pixels of a mirror it switches to 1 pixel mode?  Also, are you drawing pixel by pixel?  By using Line()? By using Rect?  Using Rect() and only drawing once the laser hits a wall or is reflected might make this very speedy.

I'm already using Rect(, and only drawing once it hits a deflector...so I really don't know how I would make it faster.
It seems that using a 5px then 1px loop would be slow because it would have to loop through all the objects to find their positions.

Hmmm maybe try this.  When you start, search through all objects and find which ones are in front of you, shouldn't be that hard or slow.  Find the distance to the closest mirror and store that.  Now start your incremental jumping by 5, if you hit a wall, you are done with and the program terminates.  If you get to or past the distance you calculated before, draw the laser beam, calculate the new angle, and repeat.

Hm. I might try that although it sounds complex.
On another note, I've gotten my jumping engine into place and spring platforms that can launch you or any other object.
I was thinking before I try lasers again I finish another element, like enemies, first. I was thinking of a gravity slug (lobster?) that sticks to walls and keeps moving in one direction - shouldn't be hard to code at all.

Hm. I'm kinda wondering how I could get the smoothscrolling tilemapper back into place, seeing as you have to track multiple items. In my original one, it was fine because the tilemap offset was constant, but this new one will be quite a pain to code.

Sorry to hear about the speed issues. I hope you and others can find a solution :(

New one-way blocks and jumping. It's not clear in the screenie I took, but you can only go through the block if your gravity direction matches the arrow.

Oooh, neat.
I can't get over the death animation - it made me laugh this time.  Great job! ;D

Hm, I need a new level transition. I was thinking of making the guy explode, load the map, and then make all those particles reform. That seems hard to make though.

Instead of level-scrolling, maybe you could have a "campaign mode" with lots of rooms instead (and have items in some rooms unlock doors in other rooms, etc.)
