O and btw what do you guys think about a 45 sec. loading time.

do something interesting with it so its not just a blank screen for 45 seconds.

actually, first try to optimize that down a bit. then add in a loading screen with an animation or a loading bar telling what stage of loading you are in. this will actually slow down the load time a bit, but it will make the perceived loading time shorter.

No a map is ten of those levels with NPC's bosses and enemies and other stuff. Also today I implemented Spellshapers idea of motion and it works also i put an option into the pause menu so you can change to cruise motion or to one block per button press if you get that.
@elfprince: Yea thats what I was thinking about doing

ahhh 10 level's isn't bad... elfprince's idea's wonderful. Really does help. That's cool you have the cruise mode and such, how will the battles work?

i noticed it didnt took that long to load in the screenie, do u mean 45 sec at startup of between every map?

Yes for every 10 stages(1 map) there will be a 45 sec loading time but you won't be allowed out of a map before beating a boss. But I will also be making one with uncompressed maps and a loading time of 5 secs.

aaah ic cool I may do that eventually with my smaller games

yea actually forget it because now it will only be a 5 second loading time.
