Hey everyone,
I'm super jazzed that my latest GBA game, Clem the Retarded Elf, got a prize in this year's Drunken Coder's Christmas Compo!
You can check out the game at http://www.scottlininger.com/gba/Clem_v1.zip
If you like the game, I'm looking for volunteers to help design more levels. There is a flash-based level editor at www.scottlininger.com/gba
You can design a level in a couple minutes, so it's not a huge commitment. Just draw up a map and email the map string to me! If I get enough new levels I'll post an updated version of the game.
Comments and critiques on the game are welcome.
Thanks,
Scott Lininger

Nice...great concept, funny implementation...I'm really impressed. I'll take a look at the level editor, but I'm not very good at coming up with puzzle game levels :)
By the way, is there a way to test levels once we've designed them?

Can you tell me what is the format for the level file? Because I don't have Flash

Sure.
It's a 104 character string. Each character represents one square of the 13x8 board. The characters key is like this:
0 = empty square
1 = trampoline
4 = hole
5 = wall
6 = yellow present
7 = red present
8 = bomb
9 = stop sign
S = Starting point for Clem
So, here's a typical level. (I added line breaks every 13 characters for clarity.)
0000000000000
0000000000000
0000057001000
0000000000000
001000S000500
0000008006000
0575808000000
0000000005000
The "S" is where Clem starts. The other numbers are the obstacles and stuff he has to deal with. If you want to do some levels in a text editor, that's totally cool.

Are more than 2 trampolines legal?

Nope. 2 tramps per map, maximum. And your map MUST include one start point and at least one present. (Though, you can have as many presents as you want.)

Resurrecting from the dead :)
Did you ever make a new version that includes the community-submitted levels?

I only got, like, 4 submissions. So I decided not to bother. :(

Sad. Oh well, thanks for the fun game, either way.
