DOOM ZZT

[abyss]

I am having troubles on DOOM ZZT. I can't beat the third level.

Tssssssssssssssss , shame .

[abyss]

I can't even beat a game that i made.

That's probably an indication that you should make it easier ...

honestly Abyss, you should know any better, if you have trouble with a game(I'll pretend I didn't notice the "I can't even beat a game that i made." part) you should really indicate what exactly puzzled you!

I can't get past the third level. The centipedes keep killing me. Do everyone enjoy DOOM ZZT which is available at the game creation section because i might be making another game. Does anyone have any comments or complaints avout DOOM ZZT because it would help me a lot to make a better game. Does anyone have ideas for a second game.

Probably the best way to learn is to play and study other ZZT games ... what works? What doesn't work?

The "Featured Games" on z2 are a good start, all are generally good quality:

My own DOOM-like game was selected as a Featured Game

As a side note, it's usually a good idea to not release the first few ZZT/whatever games you make ... before making Honor Quest, I probably made 2-3 finished games and 5-10 half-made games, none of which were ever released. (And even then the original, non-SE version of HQ wasn't that good!)

Thanks for the advice.

Also : don't name the game exactly as an existing game.

It even don't looks as doom, not the gameplay, not the layout.... .
Be a bit creative with names .

Ow yeah, I tried your game, pretty good, abyss, pretty good.
