Eh, I don't know yet. I'm still working out the details. It may just be your standard "Get-to-the-goal" platformer, but I'm not sure. It might be a scroller. I have got to learn scrolling.

Maybe you could do it a bit like ASCII art? Really hard to do, but it would be fun and interesting. I feel like a project was already made like that before...

It's cool. Just make the platforms more prominent by making them, say, #s. I like it though.
Okay, good suggestion. I'll add that in the next update.

Re: VariableMan Preview
New stage out now! coolstuff, I took your suggestion, but I made them █s instead. I also replaced the goal with a diamond shape, and moved the enemy farther inward. Feedback?

I like that idea! It could slow the project down substantially, though.
