Good work!  Great twist on the classic helicopter game :).

One thing I just noticed is the title bar of the window shows your progress in the level.  I like the added touch (:

I'm still pounding away at level 5... I want that victory!


so close =_=.   


btw it would be kinda cool to include a play alongside ghost... where the ghost is a trace line of your last run thicker the line means you were holding space bar.

Thanks for your feedback, to get through level5: open the settingseditor, click Load, type in: Speed: 285 and Downforce: 275. And click save.
With the default settings its to hard or maybe impossible, my mistake -.-

Mm I don't think impossible :).  I took a peek at the rest of the level 5 and it looks doable with just the right movements.   Definitely too hard for a level five, but a great challenge and I want to beat it at its current settings ;].

Did version .3 save your progress, because I don't think mine ended up saved -- or is this for a future release.

Thanks,
and again good work :)

Yes this version should save your progress. If not, please tell me the value of [unlocked] in the "config/option.ini" file.

btw the game saves the progress when you close it regularly.

I just beat the tutorial and exited, reloaded, and the progress is saved. 

I think my progress didn't save because I had a crash when exiting (clicked the x button... not sure on the details anymore) -- so this is explainable then. 

Maybe update your progress file after every level?

I've just tested version 0.3, it keeps looking better.
The bug in the dialog box I reported earlier (which was probably a Wine bug) does not occur anymore.

A previous version of Kroniax was working just fine under wine

dunno which version, I can only say:
md5sum Kroniax.exe
22d7e3a0b90a2b51cffaf388ee5e6160  Kroniax.exe

But with Kroniax\ 0.5.2 I get the following issue:

"couldn't find the level data"

maybe you could try to load the data in the same way than you did in the previous version.


About Kroniax 22d7e3a0b90a2b51cffaf388ee5e6160 I like it a lot, but the difficulty is too high.

I don't think it has changed. Just make sure that the application running via wine has access to the directories that come with Kroniax.
Afaik a Linux version is in development, so no need for wine in the future. ;)

Well Kroniax is still in heavy development and thus the levels aren't that balanced. The newer version reduce the difficulity a bit, but I only barely made it past level 4 and haven't beaten level 5 yet. ;)

Btw there's some text issue, when starting Kroniax the first time:

As exp mentioned I didnt´t change anything depending the loading of files. Next week i will upload a Linux version (Source with a build-system).

About Kroniax 22d7e3a0b90a2b51cffaf388ee5e6160 I like it a lot, but the difficulty is too high.

Why is it too high? The problem is i get to level9 without a misstake, because I tested all levels about 20times. And I only got feedback about the difficulty from my classmates and they managed to get until lvl 7-9.

So what is the exact problem? Is the skillgap between 2levels too high? Should I create more easy levels?

Hmm, i was afraid that i made the "new" levels too easy  :-[ . So the "Share system" will be delayed but i will work hard on the balance of the levels.
But i will need some more feedback from you or maybe I will ask my female classmates ;). When you are too lazy to write you can send me a PN and I will send you my Skypename or my teamspeakserveraddress to speak about this topic

what changed is that there is an installer

Afaik a Linux version is in development, so no need for wine in the future. ;)

This is not always good news.
For example Harvest's Linux version is not build correctly.
If you're doing closed sources you should link all the libs statically.
Which means that you should first build your own static versions of the libs used, because usually as far as I know Linux distros provide dynamic libs.

Very often I'm more lucky with Windows binaries of indies.

I know it's in dev, I'm just giving feedback for this purpose.

Maybe several difficulties could be made (the classical "easy" / normal / hard)
Maybe some blocks could be there only in difficult mode so that some ways would be more (is "narrow" the correct word in English? / smaller).

Maybe also vary the speed, and make the collision mask smaller, sometimes I almost touch something so little lol

the way is too small, I can just not go through the first level.
maybe in the beta-tester version you could add infos so that we could tell you more precisly were in a given level.

People born with video games have very high gaming skills compared to other people who didn't.
I prefer the graphics of the "hard-core gamers games" rather than the "casual games", but hard-core games are far too difficult for someone as me. I can very often only go through only the 5 or 10 first minutes. (sometimes only 5, yes for real), so I'm not buying any games anymore, or very rarely because it's expensive for 10 minutes :)

But i will need some more feedback from you or maybe I will ask my female classmates ;).

or from people defined as "casual" :p
ask your grand-mother lol

I think the solution would be switchable difficulties to make everyone happy.
but with the easy level far far far more easy lol
Or maybe calling the easy level as "red fish" as some games do :)
