I'm really loving this game and I've got some requests! My requests were prompted by Zep himself. He stated in his blog that the alpha build was released with the intention of allowing the game's development to be directed by the players. Right now there are a lot of things people are requesting that will be covered by the addition of character customization, enemy customization, and power-up customization. The first two features Zep has already said are in the works and I wouldn't doubt that power-up customization would be far behind those. I'm looking more towards features that would make the game's editor more robust. I think the best way to do this is to aim at emulating existing game's gameplay mechanics. If you can re-create popular games then you can use the engine's toolbox to create any kind of game you want. That's what voxatron should be: the ultimate mash-up/retro gaming/cooperative building/voxel game engine. I think a goal for Voxatron (and I also believe this is true for Minecraft) should be to emulate as many existing gameplay features as possible. If some people don't want these extra options they don't have to use them, but I would love to have them.

Hi Everyone!
Just a quick little note to make sure your level is linked to the BBS as I see many blank posts with no link at the top.
MAKE SURE! that when you have uploaded your level and you are posting it you LEAVE the code eg. [#1934] at the top of your page. OTHERWISE your level will not appear on the BBS and people will not be able to access it.
I hope I have helped as I encountered this as well.

The Dark Forest is very hard. Multiple enemies set on timers will attack you, posing a different threat on each stage.

Here you must confront the guardians blocking the entrance to the lava valley.
Dark Lava Pit:
Watch your step as you must jump from platform to platform as you are under fire from relentless enemies.
Dark Mushroom Field:
The guardians of the field await you as giant mushrooms spout enemies.
Dark Canyon:
You must defeat the guardians at the door to gain access to the fortress.
Dark Fortress:
Your last encounter with relentless enemies.

Get to the key without killing your aggressor.
A quick little attempt at an avoidance level. Enjoy!

Here's a level that's designed for getting high scores rather than just surviving it. Otherwise it's too easy to camp in a corner.
It was going to be a game mode in the PLAY menu, but I didn't want to clutter it.
You might notice that the player always has the sword in this one. This is an undocumented feature of the editor: to do this, set the name of a room to _dojo.
