The character still runs about like Benny Hill, imho
Agreed :) You can see clearly in the video that the character is unplayably fast and even Xylvian can't control it with any degree of precision. It reminds me of playing manic miner on a PC emulator with no frame limiting.
If you plan on sticking with the speed perhaps the inclusion of a team of bikini clad babes chasing you relentlessly would add something interesting to the gameplay. I like the music but maybe replacing it with Status Quo's classic "I'm a wanderer" would be more appropriate?
Joking aside, I could re-iterate all the flaws which are apparent in the gameplay but people here have repeated themselves until they're blue in the face. You should really show more appreciation of the time people are taking out to help you. There's clearly no getting through to you.
