Quick suggestion: I'm not overly fond of the current button you have in place, the one to activate the crate dropper thing. Don't get me wrong it doesn't really detract much from the game much, but I know you can do better :) This is just one of those little nitpicky details.

O.o looks AMAZING!
will the character sprite change before the finished version?

I like the character sprite.

I've experimented with a couple of button sprites, but I couldn't think of any that looked better D: Maybe you could help?

Absolutely beautiful!  Just make sure the grey scale is perfectly smooth though, since it constitutes all of your background :P Gotta love the lights to signify buttons and connections.  I assume that is built into the map somehow?  Can the lights cross empty space?  Are you worried about levels with many buttons getting a bit crowded?

Maybe something depicting a switch on the wall that when flipped activates the thing?  Or maybe...a button :P

Also..I'm not sure how practical this could be (maybe puzzle aspect?) but it would be cool if the lights were to turn on progressively, eventually reaching the thingy or whatever the official name of it is.

The greyscale is pretty perfect right now, and it looks great :P Except for maybe the horizontal shifting in the elevator, which looks kinda crappy. The lights are built into the object data, and yes the lights can cross empty space :D I'm not sure what it'll look like with a lot of buttons, but I'm sure I can work out any difficulties.

the lights in the floor reminds me of the lights in portal when you press the buttons. lol
Absolutely ^^

Yes, there will be ramps. It won't be totally accurate normal forces ramps, but there will be ramps nevertheless.

How are you storing the data for the lights?

Each set of lights has the form

[switchx, switchy, number of turns, (direction, length) x n)

Then I have an array of pointers to all these lights, and in the switch data there's a byte pointing to the light pointer. It redraws the lights whenever it switches on or off.

I don't know, if I were you I'd end up ripping or Portal Prelude's button sprites. :)
