Love the game, excited to see where it'll go, all that stuff everyone's said. :) There are a couple things I'd like to see implemented though.
1) In the editor it's possible to see the shadows items cast come down directly beneath them, but this doesn't appear possible in the game. I'd like to have this as an option, since it would making jumping sections easier to manage.
2) A voting system for BBS Levels would be great, of course. What I'd also like is some way to distinguish between levels you've already completed and ones you haven't, so you can keep track of what you've completed.
Thanks,
-Zach

Adding head tracking to Voxatron would be positive in many ways, and also in some negative ways too. I am here to discuss these. By adding head tracking, I mean having a webcam and Voxatron will track where your head is. This would give the ability to rotate the stage as the head moves and it would appear as though the game is three-dimensional and tangible.
Positive:
-complements voxels with the illusion of 3d
-platform levels are easier due to the ability to view the player and other objects from different angles.
Negative:
-would require players to buy a specific web camera or Lexaloffle would need to find a way to make every web camera to work with Voxatron.
-If a level designer used a small wall to hide a power up, etc., then simply moving your head could reveal the hidden suprise.
If you think of anything else positive, negative about this idea, post it here.

Grab it from your Humble Voxatron Debut download page (the link you received earlier by email still works for all foreseeable updates).
New in 0.1.4:
Added: Configurable controls
Added: Mouse aiming crosshair (well, actually it's a single voxel)
Fixed: Drifting character bug
Fixed: BBS LIST incomplete / crashing on last page
Fixed: Sound switching off permanently after failing once
The controls are now in one of 3 modes:
- keyboard
- keyboard+mouse
- joystick
You can only use one mode at once, and each one can be customised separately.
The default mode is keyboard, so if you like playing with ASDW+mouse or joystick, you'll need to switch it back on in the options->controls menu.
If you're wondering why the game doesn't show up in your 'My Games' page -- Humble Bundle and I don't have a unified system for handling users yet. Sorry about that! We'll sort something out before too long.
Thanks everyone who emailed me with bug reports and feedback. I'm a bit behind in responding, but I'll get to you all eventually..
The next things I'll be working on are:
- Display/Sound bugs (hopefully 0.1.4 will fix some of the no sound problems)
- Improving the BBS (search replied-to posts, sub-categories)
- A way to organise/search the BBS levels list
- Mac PPC support
- Multi-frame model editing (in preparation for character editing, and for fun)

EDIT: How to update:
Just copy or install 0.1.4 over the top of 0.1.3 and your existing player data will be picked up and still work. It should be pretty safe, but if you want to back up you can find it here:
Windows: C:/Users/Yourname/AppData/Roaming/Voxatron
OSX: /Users/Yourname/Library/Application Support/Voxatron
Linux: ~/.lexaloffle/Voxatron
The player profile files are called player_1.vop, player_2.vop etc.

This is pretty much my first level on Voxatron, not much visually, but in my opinion the arrangment of enemies and their timing is quite challenging. (I believe I uploaded this as a level, right?)

I made a level! Isn't it great. So there is this guy, who wants you dead for some reason. So go find and kill him. And yes this description is kinda silly on purpose. I really can't think of anything better to say. So yeah, try my level and give me feedback please!
