Lode Runner is totally different from Manic Miner. It's more a strategy game.
Keeping the enemy AI the way the original is is important, because sometimes you have to do moves where you had to predict where the enemies will run.

Yes different but similar if that makes any sense,yes please keep the AI pretty much as it was,its what made it stand out from the other platform type games of the time,wouldnt be a remake if you changed the gameplay too much,i still enjoyed this.

The controls are much better now but it still feels slow for some reason.

I think perhaps it might be because the levels are bigger than the original, so the time taken to get from one side of the screen to the other is longer - I don't think the movement is slower than the original (some versions anyway) but because of the difference in resolution and level size it feels a lot slower? {shrugs}

If you can make the player move a lot faster, maybe twice as fast just as a test to see how it feels? Maybe add a "hyper speed" option as well as "fast"?

Sounds like you want a psychotic version caff,pace of the player seems quite normal to me but sure liven it up and see what happens.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Personally I think that the "hyper speed" option is too much. I'm afraid that if you try to dig let's say 5 holes in a row there will be a high probability to miss one. And there are levels that you cannot afford that.

About the AI - my idea was not to copy the original's AI, but to create a new different one. AI that is not too hard to play, neither too easy. I think the AI is good and I like it.

UPDATE: Today I updated the speed and now both the "normal" and "fast" options are faster. Feedback on the new speeds appreciated.

Shortcut to lode runner.
