Darn i can guess why now: when you touch the lava, it subtracts 1 hp per frame. That could've caused the problem :\

Nope. I got 6/7 actually. Also nice game. The only suggestion I would have is if you make more versions in the future, you should find do the following:

-Speed upgrade, so we can walk twice faster
-The first Ball thing upgrade should be weaker, so it's less OP. With it I could pretty much go anywhere and if I fell down all I had to do is crawl walls like a spider :P. Maybe one that only lets you crawl walls for half a second so you have to wall-jump (and still can't reach some places if both walls are too far apart)?
-Not have you start right next to an enemy when entering a new room. Maybe move them more in the middle of areas?

Also I am unsure but at one point I think my energy went to 65535 O.O

1. That'll be in later version
2. In later version, you'll get that upgrade WAY later XD
3. Yeah, that was kinda cheap, I guess
4. lot of people told me about that energy glitch, and I know why. I'll fix that in later version. :D

Also don't forget about the boss glitch letting you walk under him then go behind to be protected from any hit while still being able to shoot him. :P

There's a faster way to kill him, and it's MetaBox. :D
Just jump up and down with metabox and you'll kill him quite fast. XD

I'm wondering if people are satisfying with non-scrolling map?

It doesn't only depend on people. If the game can't run fast enough with scrolling maps or if the bluriness is a problem, I think people are fully satisfied by a non-scrolling map. All they want is a good and playable game ;)

Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.

since im improving the engine (such as sprites), I was wondering if I should implement scrolling screen. Even though it'll hard for me to do so since all the enemies involved X.x

At this point in development, I would say don't go with scrolling. It would probably involve rewriting most of your code, and the finished product might not even be as good as what you have now.

TBH, I didn't even notice the lack of scrolling. I think the game works fine as is. :) If you want to do a sequel, perhaps add scrolling to that.

you should add acceleration to jumping before scrolling, although that might require redesigning a few areas.

Scrolling would be better unless it's incredibly slow or too hard to implement for that type of game.


That reminds me... what does META means? Because it looks strangely close to PETA... O.O

Meta means something purely in the abstract realm. I'm not quite sure what it stands for in this particular game, however :)
