I noticed a glitch: It’s possible to get the missile stuck, what I did was I took Jetman, had him knock the Missile on it’s right side, took the Missile, Held up and it got stuck on the right side of the screen.

I use Firefox, Flash Player 10. Arrow left / right problem is still there for me.

*Able to move left / right / up, click gravity. Not able to move left / right with arrow, but can move up.
*Able to hold left, moving left. Click gravity, still moving left, until release. Then can’t move when press left again (same for moving right)
*When losing left / right control, click next then prev (or prev then next).. gain left / right control again.

I’m curious where do you plan on releasing this game? Kongregate? =0, it has some cool developer’s API (highscore, badges, content sharing, microtransactions, etc)

I’ve just put in a fix for IE8. Please let me know if this SWF doesn’t load for you (and you’re using Flash Player 10).

Yes I believe the problem is I’m not switching focus back to the game, so the arrows are staying in the UI.

I noticed the same problems as Tim after I played with the gravity a little. In fact…it seems as if the left and right arrow keys are disabled as soon as you touch the gravity, even if you just click on the uh…thing, without moving it.

I just noticed the blog looked really bad in IE6, which sadly is still used by 20% of the population. If you ever find yourself in this situation, remember this bit of wisdom: 90% of IE6 readability problems can be fixed with “width:100%”

Well that explains why I received an email about this post this morning

I didn’t have the background problem, but I did notice some problems using the left and right keys after changing the gravity. A and D still worked, just not left and right.

The only other thing I noticed was that there are some minor overlapping issues when the player flys against the perspective part of a block (like the roof of the block goes over the character and obscures his head, while the rest of the body is still visible). Not a big deal though and seems like it’d be a hassle to fix
