2D Game Construction Kit - updated to v. 0.6.0.8

[model76]

I can't be 100% sure what software I was running at the time, but these were definitely running:

Firefox 3.6.10
Foobar2000
Visual C++ 2008 Express
OpenOffice.org 3.2 Writer
WinRAR 3.91

WinPatrol PLUS
OpenOffice.org 3.2 Quickstarter
Skype 4.2.0.197
NetLimiter 2
MagicISO 2.7
NVIDIA Control Panel
Unlocker Assistant
Avast! Free 5.0.677

I don't know when/if I will have time to do more testing for you, as I have my own project. Besides, I don't enjoy testing that much  :?

MIXED: press JUMP and move LEFT/RIGHT

The biggest difference between GIANA and MIXED is that the later also lets you
climb ladders.

As great as this project may look, i can't feel inspired looking at it until you have more appealing examples ahah

This. So much this. I was thinking exactly the same thing. With all due respect to the artist, that tileset really does look tacky.

That's kind of a given. Where do I find a wonderful artist?

This is becoming a chicken & egg thing.
