it’s definitely not a game for people who havn’t played mighty jill off – this game doesn’t teach how to use jill’s abilities at all. it assumes the player is familiar with them from playing the original game.

I always dig one button gaming.

The bombjack mechanic is a bit fiddly– I’m not sure if this game “makes sense” without that experience…

also, w/ a hypothetical mobile device, you might get different levels of playability based on the physical mechanics of the button.

But still, pretty nifty.

Thoughts on the sprite one thread over.

designing the game was purely a mental exercise, to prepare myself for the interview. having planned the game, i finally decided to implement it this past weekend.

What’s the word on this actually becoming a cell phone game? Or was this all purely hypothetical.

i’ve heard of soup but i’ve never gotten it to run. lsd is interesting because it’s three-dee and first-person where most of these types of games seem to be two-dee – abstraction being the key to achieving the tone that they do. but lsd is early playstation three-dee, so it’s fragile and abtract enough to reach the same kind of mood.

that was also a bug with the original mighty jill off (which lends routines to this version) that i was never able to pin down and get rid of.

this is why in my new projects – like the nail ‘n scale game – i script all the platforming myself. mighty jill off was my first platformer, and i relied pretty heavily on game maker’s in-built platforming functions, the result of which is i can’t always predict why the game behaves the way it does.

it seems hard to do by accident, since i encountered it all of once in all my playtesting of jill off one-handed. who of you’s going to be the first to break five minutes?

OH SNAP

Well, I got 0:01 once!

BEAT THAT

It’s actually a bug I noticed. If you cancel your jump fast enough, and jump again, Jill jumps high enough to go off the screen and die.
