That's a good idea, but it would take quite a lot of work to create an editor with all the functionality that would be required. I'll add it to my "maybe" list. :)
Hey Steve. Great game and a brilliant spin on the original. The only feedback I can think of right now would be redefinable keys, including the fire button option (currently mouse button only), and an option to toggle whether Miner Willy fires the way he's facing, or towards the mouse pointer. I personally found the mouse pointer directional firing a little annoying, although I know some probably prefer it that way. Joypad support might be nice too, but not essential for me personally.
Hey Steve, thanks a lot for the feedback, really pleased you enjoyed playing the game. I'll add your suggestions to my list. The only issue I can think of regarding not using the mouse pointer is that some accuracy is required for some levels when shooting, so I'm not sure exactly how that would work? I plan to add gamepad support soon though, and look out for a new release in a few days. Cheers!
Genius game, what a creative idea! The only way I can imagine gamepad working is to use the right stick to aim. And maybe the right bumper button for jump?

Been thinking lately, and not sure how feasible it would be, but have you considered a level editor for community sharing levels?

Two years after your suggestion, I've finally added a level editor!
Oh my! Is that live yet? I'd love to give it a go when I next get some gaming time. 😀
Never mind - I see the details on the downloads page.

Good point about the accuracy. I haven't played that far yet, so I imagine that will become apparent.
I've played much further into the game now and I totally see what you mean about the mouse firing. I stand corrected on that one. Thanks for replying.
No problem, thanks for playing. Let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions for the levels.

Thanks a lot! Yeah, that's probably the only way to go with a game controller. It will probably make the game even harder though!
Great job Stephen! I can run this on a Linux workstation I have. Are you considering a Mac version in the future? Cheers!
Thanks a lot! Mac version has just been released!
That was quick! Thank you Steve!
Bought. Looking forward to taking it for a spin.
Thanks a lot! Let me know how you get on, and what's good or could do with changing.
Awesome!
Thanks a lot!
