The next iteration of my Winnie the Pooh flash game is online here: http://semichrome.net/~jack/games/quartus/

Christopher Robin, Alice, find the animals of the Hundred Acre Wood are cursed, becoming evil. This, of course, leads to a series of self-contained action/puzzle levels with graphic cartoon violence.

The new version has:

* Ten new levels and plot
* Improved controls, including a rouge-like mode (where things move only as fast as you press a key, giving you as much time to study as you want), and hjkl and wasd keys.
* Blinkenlichten and and LCD display showing you which levels you've completed, and letting you skip to whichever you want.
* One new character, Piglet (squee!), a rewrite of small, become more interactive but less dangerous
* Some of the old levels have been tweaked slightly.

Please play! I would love to hear how far you got, or how quickly you finished it, and if there's any levels (or characters) you particularly liked or found dificult.

Oh good :) Though bad -- it shouldn't be necessary to switch modes. I think maybe I need a more prominent explanation about space bar standing still.

Don't worry too much - Jif worked it out straight away. I'm now busily working out how to use the stream to my advantage in level 13.... :-)

No!

Although I haven't been trying solidly since my last comment, obv. :-)

I did try crossing the stream in every which way I could think of but it didn't seem to have any effect on Piglit at all - actually on one occasion I thought it had delayed him by an extra move, but I couldn't work out how I'd done that and I couldn't subsequently replicate it.

Although actually, typing this up has given me another idea to go and try.... :-)

No, you are right, it shouldn't be a matter of a bare move here or there, you should be able to gain an essentially indefinite lead...

Oh, good! That happening is exactly what's supposed to... :) Did you have any luck this time?
