Hi guys, thanks a lot for the feedback.
@slym - thanks for taking the time to do the adaptation. It looks great. I also like your colors much better than mine, I might just steal those
Having warm colors in the foreground and cooler colors in the background really helps separate the two planes (not sure if that's the word). I've been looking over a lot of mobile games and most good ones use this trick. I think I just got too caught up in pixeling and overlooked it.
@Organ_House - I'm thinking of adding some pattern to the black part. You are quite right, it looks strange. I think I'll also add a floor tile as well.
@buddy90, Olothontor - Also right. I think I could add some kind of supporting rock formation in the background which you can move over but seems to also incorporate the rocks that you can walk over. I've seen the guys in Abe's games do this with great success. If not, tunnels it (probably) will be
@Demon11777
thanks mate, my girlfriend says the same thing
@voidSkipper - You're right. I need to add a shortcut for the keys as well. MAKING MENTAL NOTE: will pay attention to design and not introduce bugs.
In regards to subpixel movement, I think I could easily move it back to pixel level if something nasty comes up
