Denial

Thank you very much!
I tracked it down to dying while holding down the jump button on the joystick.
Fixed in this version - which I think I'll call a release candidate

I see what you mean about the conveyor belts... that's definitely incorrect iirc, you can't just stop on them like that.

You're also missing The Vat... and the solar beam doesn't seem to do that much damage to your air supply.

Watched the video, very impressive!

I must have accidentally cut the vat from the video while I was trimming out all my deaths. Oops!
Oh, that's how conveyors are supposed to work? Ugh. I think I prefer them this way - it feels much more logical.
Ah, and the light beams consume air? I didn't notice from the videos. Will fix this!

Holy crap. This game will just wreck me. lol

Superb. Another new VIC-game that makes you wonder how it could have changed things if it was released back in the days.

Yes, the conveyors are constant progression, can't stop it, you have to time going onto them to progress correctly. That's part of the learning process for the level patterns. And yes, the solar beam reduces your air if it hits Willy, I generally finish that level with not much air at all because you can't really avoid it some of the time, that's part of the challenge. Also the dissolvable flooring is too slow imo, it should disappear quicker than it currently does. These aren't criticisms, just observations if you want to make the game as close to the original Spectrum/C64 versions as possible

Since you insisted...

Sped up the crumbling 50%.
Adjusted how the conveyors worked and tweaked a couple of levels to compensate.
Made the light beams suck air.

This latest version starts in the Solar Power Generator...

Ooooooops!

miner-20180201.zip still starts in Solar Power Generator

WTF? Let me try that again.

Now that's pretty much spot on

Makes a couple of those jumps a lot more precarious and needs the correct timing (Sixteenth Cavern, and Solar Power Generator especially). In fact it only took me two attempts to complete The Warehouse!

Only bug I spotted was that the high score didn't appear to be saved, completed a game and started a new one, and the high score was still zero.

Really, only two attempts?? It took me about 30 attempts when I was recording the walkthrough!
Fixed the high score.

Will check that out over the weekend. Btw why use the Bug Byte version for inspiration, and not Software Projects? Because it was the original?
