Markiplier played this game before he got super famous and was busy stealing ideas from pewdiepies forums (cos I'm pretty sure that's where he got the idea to play the game in the first place) . I'm only joking. I actually have great time for markiplier. He seems nice and does lots of charity stuff. Like playing my game, heyoooooo!!!! This guys got all the jokes. But I do think that's where he saw the game, as it was a random friend who pointed out that he'd played it. So yeah. He only got to the first blue level though. Quitter.

UPDATE:
Updated Color Array During Color Levels.

Welcome to XCVB ++.
THOSE WITH PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY BEWARE!!!!
This game is hard, and pretty. Just like other things in the world, HEYOOOO!!!!
The game gets faster as you go along.

Eventually you will come across the Malevolent Levels where what you are shown and what you will are the opposite. You must use considerable thinking to beat this game.

It's quite hard.

Fun

So the game itself was fun I get into this game entry and review alot of things I like the concept of this whole thing didnt find anything that was lacking or anything like that, all the medals and acheivments made this pretty fun

~X~

I don't know if I'd say this is hard, but it is definitely pretty. I had a fun time, so good job and thanks for the medals!

It's good, but they're all the same levels from the original game, I would've liked an actual improvement of the game not just graphically.

makehimanoffer responds:

Absolutely agree.

So..... basically what happened was.

I got help from a friend to make this awesome color wheel thing for the background image which was absolutely sexy as anything.

but.... the way I mapped out the levels and coded them was not very scalable at all.

The overall hope was to be able to make the way I created levels scalable, but because the game started as a jam game I did things in a really hacky way. and all the start goals and end goals are hardcoded into the level class for the various levels. And also each level map asset for tiling and background image is also hardcoded.

And in order to make it more easily handleable I would have to work on creating an extra tileset which would be the same size as the overall map JUST for the start and finish tiles.

and then include them all in a global JSON string somewhere to be loaded at the right time.

And then with the malevolent levels things became even trickier.

I had this really cool idea of making the level creation as easy as possible, but it all went to the wayside.
so the original mapping is easy, but you've got to hardcode the start and end points.

and then I lost the tiling config I had setup and couldn't find it on my computer.

maybe someday I'll make some new levels on this.

BUT, I did add level selection, save games and some other stuff. but obviously could have tried harder.

the original sequel to XCVB was supposed to be SUPER XCVB. but since this wasn't really a sequel and wasn't really the same as the first game and was a major enough update I called it ++.

Blam. The controls are weak, the graphics are poor and the responses from the game developer are berating and insulting at best.

makehimanoffer responds:

Sorry about your controls being weak! Unfortunately I don't think there's much I can do about improving the haptic response of your keyboard. You might need to buy a new one I'd say.

I think the art assets are pretty simplistic to be honest. I'm not sure there's much I can do if you've got a poor graphics card that can't handle them. There's nothing very hi-res going on in my game that should be causing poor graphics response. Maybe the colors, but even they're not as hectic as they used to be.

I would say you might need to consider a new gaming setup from the sound of things.
Unfortunately that's not something I can help you with.

Thanks for playing my game!
Appreciated!

Took me a while, and a LOT of looking away from the screen to rest my eyes on those super shaky levels, but after beating it, I think it was pretty enjoyable. Music fits pretty well too.
