I have this cool concept for a mining game, that is totally unique in every way. What you have: You get a jet pack and the "Canon Mining System", in which the system is in 3 parts. The part consists of a canon that stays in place where ever you put it. It has 2 little rubber feet, 90 degrees from each other, as a propping thing for it. The second part is the direction 2-way switch, that turns the direction of the cannon while is propped. The third thing is the button that activates the canon. You carry all three things separate, which adds to the challenge. You go to the actual mines, which you have to use the Canon Mining System to break through. Inside the mines are empty passages, rooms with special items, and monsters (including bosses). When you collect 4 fossils, you can return and then you beat the game! Anyone like the idea?

I like the levels of complexity (I mean the exploration aspect or whatever). So yeah... if you can do this and do it well... then yay :O

Good luck with it, it's nice seeing more explorationy levels being made

It would be kinda cool I'm not sure how much i like the idea of having to carry 3 things though...

Would it be better if all three items were strung together with string? Or if they were separate? I thought it they were separate, it would add to the challenge. I guess if they are strung that would make it easier, and you don't have to worry about losing them, but I could make the string a bit long, so that it will seem like some sort of real mining kit.

Making the player fly backwards and forwards to carry a mining kit wouldn't make your level challenging, it'd make it tedious I think you need to rethink your cannon so it's fully functional as one object Just a suggestion, if it's a mining level wouldn't a drill be more suitable?

well you could design a device that would be a grab switch, incorporating a 3 way switch and a fire into one grab. then you hyst have to shift the device around... Anyone ever play diggers?

I wouldsay thatsounds like a very interesting concept for a level. I would like to see how the cannon works as seperate pieces before stringing it together. The idea of the exploration is great seeing as nearly every other level follows a pretty linear fashion.

No, I couldn't get any of the ideas to work. I knew this would happen. I gave up.

It wouldn't be that hard to make work I say you should just have a drill that you carry around that destroys the rocks inside the mine when you hit them
