I guess how I'd describe the game is Bound High meets Ice Climber.

Pretty impressive for a few hours of work. I think the main problem with it right now is collision detection, I can't tell you how many times I've gotten near the top and randomly phased through one of the platforms.

You know, maybe we actually _should_ have a 48 hour VB coding comp sometime. A "Ludum Dare Puero Fere" if you will. (Just make sure it's during the summer.)

.....And what is this about a basement arcade?

I also planned on having a foreground and background to jump between, but that would have required some smart level design for making that useful, as well as making the graphics so you could actually see blocks in the foreground and background at the same time.

I also think a community game would be really fun... if we could break down a game into perfectly manageable parts, rather than everyone writing a short simple game, everyone writes/designs/creates small simple chunks... which get merged into a cool large project that people would actually want to play. Imaging an RPG where someone writes an overworld engine, someone writes a fight engine, someone writes the item, character, etc backend, someone makes the main menu stuff, someone designs characters, someone designs the overworld, someone makes music/sound effects... and so on. I think the most difficult part would be managing the whole thing, delegating responsibilities.
