Ok, thanks guys.

I will try some shading, although I'm not very good at it.
And work continues on the demo as well.

1 At the start of level 1, everything is just randomly placed around the
field. The problem with this is that things could overlap one another
so you might have several keys and other items placed over Doctor
Progressos castle which just looks sloppy. I have fixed this, so items
will NOT overlap each other.
(EDIT; LOL, i just noticed that in the screenshot the Speed Up is
overlapping the top of the tree. So much for not overlapping each other)
2 I am considering getting rid of the Speed Power Up. It seems pointless
and unneccasary.

3 As previously stated, I have added Trees! which add some nice
scenery and work as walls.




Also a quick description of things to come,

After you defeat the first boss you will then be in Doctor Progressos
castle. In the castle are 5 doors. One of them has 4 locks on it and leads
to the final showdown with Progresso himself. To open it, you have to
find the 4 keys. Each of the 4 other doors leads to one of the keys.
And each door also has some kind of challenge that you must complete
before you can gain the key.

These challenges are what I'm currently working on.

1 of the doors has a BomberMan type maze where you have to rescue
Doctor Campells while facing off with a very BomberMan Like Progresso.
(He even drops bombs)

2 I'm not sure exactly how this level will work, but basically you have to
run from the T-Rex who is chasing you and get to safety.

3 The Battery Level(Previously the maze level) You are inside a giant
Battery and have to push walls around to plug up all the holes before
the sparkys can escape. As to why your doing this I'm not sure yet.
This level will be available in the next demo.

4 Something to do with The Battery Car and slimes in cars.
This level has gone through 3 changes now.
At first you were going to be chasing down a little red slime who had
the key while you were on foot. Then you were on a racetrack racing
against a horde of slimes with mario kart type items to aid you.
Now its a Destruction Derby type thing, but I'm quite likely going to
change it again. LOL, as you can see, I have no idea what to do with
this level.

And then the final battle with Doctor Progresso was actually completed
some time ago, and I'm not going to reveal what that is yet.

Hope You Enjoy The Soon To Come Demo!
