I've begun working on this game. I'll post a WIP in a few minutes. EDIT: Link to video

Looks to me like your walking speed is reduced when carrying a block. Or are my eyes deceiving me? If this is the case, then picking up a different block (or chain-throwing the block) might give you faster movement.

It's just the enemies-on-the-screen lag doing that. Notice that the lag remains after throwing the block, and how when he first picks it up, his speed is the same as it was before picking it up. Is this lag programmed into the game? If so, that's so weird.

Eventually, you get the ability to summon blocks out of mid-air, correct? I played this a long time ago, for a short period of time, and couldn't be bothered to finish it. I'd be interested in seeing the sequence break potential at the very least. :)

Hmm, I thought I fixed that slowdown bug already, maybe it reappeared. Also, try setting the framerate to 50 instead of 60 if you're not using 50 already.

Hm, I don't remember the version of the game I played to lag that horribly. Other than that, this looks nice so far. ^^

You can avoid the "This is a cube" message by completely avoiding cubes until you get Cube Lift. I'm not sure if this will save time, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

It wouldnt save time since that would force me to get the "compass". Plus, its not possible to avoid the boxes without losing time since i'd have to manipulate enemies. Also, Would playing this at 50 fps be more accurate? It did reduce the slowdown but im afraid that it might not be as acccurate.

50 is most accurate, 60 is wrong. I think Lyle v1.05 is actually handled more correctly timing-wise (because it uses a newer version of MMF) and it runs at precisely 50 FPS, but the music in that version currently doesn't work in Hourglass.

I'm really impressed with your WIP. I've played this game many times and it seems like a good game for TASing. There are probably a few interesting skips you can do with proper enemy boosting.

Well, I just ran my last WIP on the latest version of Hourglass. And to my suprise, it syncs! The only problem was that the sound effects got removed for a while. They returned a while before the end of the WIP though. Commensing resume on this project!...unless people ask me to do another game. >_>
