Ahh, so that problem was that I got stuck in the actual door. I ran in there as the door was closing and some how got stuck in some geometry. I think it was the door that I got stuck in.

I think that, as you have most of the game in closed rooms, you should use fixed cameras tracking the player. This template camera is not best solution.
Music is very nice and gameplay. If you change cameras you could make a lots of bucks

bloodred: Sorry, wound up replacing a HD today and didn't see your message in time. I'll try to get one up for Tuesday.

As for getting stuck in the door, it does automatically open after 10 seconds or so. I'm not sure what to do about kids getting stuck. Hopefully they'll learn not to keep getting stuck, but a lot of people get stuck the first time.

As for the camera, I don't really want to do stationary cameras. However, can anyone get me started or point me towards a superior 3rd person camera. I saw a lot of talk about making a great one, but I haven't actually seen anything better than the templates. Anybody know of anything?

Hi ya!

VERY nice job on the game. I like the music. The textures for everything are very well done.

I had one problem. I was "testing" how the robot follows you around the level. (Its almost erie ) Then, all of the sudden, it fell through the floor! (This was in the middle of a ramp) I tried to take a screen shot, but it came out all black. (Should have switched to windowed mode)

When it did get stuck, I liked how it told you somthing was wrong. The screen said can't find path, or somthing along those lines. Sorry, I cant remember what level it was in. I'll try and find it again.

Overall very nice job.

Edit: One more bug...
When you hold the space bar down (jump), it doesn't keep playing the jump animation. It only plays it once. Happy bug hunting!

I like the game and how it was realized. Reminds me a lot of old pc math castle game...dunno what it was called.

Anyway, i would love to see more jump and run elements in it so kids are motivated to get to the next level.
To be honest i wasnt very motivated opening the 4th door and the next ones after that.

Just some thoughts though. Overall i like the gameand how its created. (i like the main character)

BlattSalat, could you please give me a better idea of what you mean by jump-and-run elements? Do you mean that you'd just like more physical challenges of running around, getting to places? Jumping from ledge to ledge, etc?

some ideas:
1.) the weired spiders that pop out of the door. I would love it more if those are enemies that fight you would you have to find the right number to open the door. And if you are skilled enough you can try to catch the dangerous spiders to throw them to the wall to get a small hint.

2.) I woul also like to see classical jump and run traps in the level while you are going from one math chellenge to the other. Crumbling bridges, moving walls and elevators, little flamethowers that lit your little green ass when you dont watch out....just the classical stuff.

3.) combined with that i would also add smaller enemies arround the place that cou can "shot out" with the right math. Some sort of maniac monster math mosquitos that will attack you and you have to defend yourself.

4.) also a big motivation would be a storyline and the beautiful princess to be resqued...and the big evil enemy boss that is planning to steal all numbers from the planet.

Just some basic ideas...i think parents will love the idea of solving problems with math only i think the kids should be also motivated to "hunt the enemy down".

Here is what I meant in my previous post:

Here you can see that the background color differ from the picture. I brighten up the image so that you cann see the difference:

The next photo shows what I noticed regarding level texturing: check your texture offsets, because this texture seems to have the wrong texture y-offset: the line which should be on the floor is a bit above:

Have a nice sunday,
