Scratch

You should probably add me to the beta mailing list since I am building the flash version.

Here you go RHY and all those others who fail at GQ3, a strategy guide (it's not complete yet though).

@Rodentboy, I sent you the latest beta.

Um, my inbox doesn't have it. I'll mess around with my account and you can try again whenever you want.

Okay hmmmmm . . . I'll try again later.
Archmage, did you get it?

Okay Rodentboy, I left you a comment with a download link to the latest beta.

Alright, I've tested it.

Bad things: The blood takes awhile to fade away. I think it'd be better if it disappeared quicker. Also, the level code at the top right on level one is mixed up with the Text sprite's stamp- it may have to be moved further to the left.

I'll make blood disappear faster, thanks for noticing 
Yeah I'm going to have to do some major work with the stamping so everything gets pretty again >.>

The Good things: The jumping is very smooth, I like the way you have to run and jump to go higher. The new enemies for level 1 have good graphics! The "Front text" sprite has no mispelling, which would've annoyed the turnip sauce out of me if there was any. The scrolling background is very smooth; I pray you're going to make different costumes for the rest of the levels! I've found no flaws with the physics, and the magic you can perform all works properly. I like the new level one and two, even if level two isn't complete. Keep working on it!

Thanks    and I surely will make new scrolling backgrounds (didn't like mario trees in the underworld D:    )

Suggestions: Maybe you could set the difficulty at the start of the game- but that'd take a lot of work and you could just give a link to the strategy guide for people who aren't good at it. But if you consider making a difficulty setting, things that would change would probably be the attack speed of enemies, the sliding effect, and how much health the bad guys have, but that would take a lot of work designing variables and adding "If difficulty= ?" scripts on to the already long and elaborate coding.

Yes I've considered making difficulties, but I think it would be too much work to overhaul the game for minimal gain. I will link to the strategy guide.

Also, the big thing that might make this project's doom is the blood. Even if it is deselected at the start, people may flag it. Hopefully, the Scratch team will see how amazing it is otherwise and let us keep it- or remake it without.

Yes I'll have to be careful with the blood. If I get more than 1 or 2 people complaining about it, I'll share over the project with a bloodless version.

Keep working on it! It will be great when its done. Tell me when you've got the next version out! 

Will do 
Thanks for testing

I have actually decided,

there will be 4 different difficulties for Gods Quest 3!

That will take a lot of work, but I'm glad you decided to have it!

Okay I'm going to start giving out the next beta.

It was good.

I enjoyed the no blood option, because I am a person who doesn't like stuff like that.

The level design was good, but you should get a little more life each level, say 2 hearts?

I found the second level easier. I lasted longer, which I think was because of my 3 constitution. You should have enemies adapt to the persons abilities, while still making the upgrades affect power.

I'll see if I can find some tilesets for you, mario hills in the Underworld, seems a little strange.

Do you mean level as in character level or stage level, I like the idea of more lives.

I'll try and make enemies more intelligent and adaptive, although it is tough 

And please any tilesets are welcome
