Hey All
So in between checking out some of the splendid user-made levels that are showing up, I'm working on an update that should address a couple of the most pressing problems. If you have any work-arounds for these, or additional issue I've missed please add them in a comment.
Coming in the next update (v.0.1.4):
:: Controls
Does no-one like cursors+ZX anymore? No? ok, so instead of trying to standardise the controls and design around that, I'll instead make them as configurable as possible. There's a new menu in OPTIONS coming in 0.1.4 which lets you assign keys, joystick movements, button presses, mouse clicks and mouse movements to the 10 different actions the player can perform:
move(x4), jump, shoot, directional shoot (x4).
:: Drifting -- character constantly runs up/jumps etc
It seems this is caused for a variety of reasons. Some systems are reading the mouse or the accelerometer as an uncalibrated joystick input, or there is a joystick device present with no physical counterpart, or one of the many keyboard keys assigned to a particular action is incorrectly registered as pressed.
The way I'm doing the new configurable keys will fix the vast majority of this. You have to explicitly enable each device as an input (keys / mouse / joystick), so if there is anything giving off ghost signals it won't affect the game.
[b]:: BBS LEVELS crash on page 2

A cool gladiator-style level with a progress bar.
The key to wining this map is finishing off each wave as quickly as possible. Each wave is assigned to a timestamp, so if you take too long, the next wave can be a stack of several waves of enemies. Also the sword is extremely useful in the last two fights.
I think the editor need some kind of specific wave-mechanic. But maybe I'm doing it wrong. Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy it :)

Hi,
i think i found a bug that makes the main character jump forever.
It happens in windows only.
Here is how to reproduce it:
0) start voxatron
1) using the proper option enter in windowed mode
2) gain focus on another window
3) return to the window of Voxatron and start the game
You should see your character jumping and jumping and jumping and...
