Thanks.

Let's see here. It's about a month until the contest I believe. My exams more or less coincide with the event so now is a good time to stop adding stuff and present it for testing. Well.. maybe I can finish the hookshot during testing.... and tweak the gameplay a little... I know I can stop... I just need to do it gradually XD.

Kidding aside. I'm looking for testers. Any volunteers?
I know some might think it is a pointless idea to not just release the demo in the topic. There are two reason I won't do that: it's more fun to wait till the actual event and I don't want to influence any other contenders.
I'm looking for people with the critical eye and the ability to describe what they see or mean. So, if you feel like helping out just respond. Whenever I add or tweak something from this point forward I'll do it in a separated version.

Much appreciated.
I'll be walking 40 km this weekend so I'll probably present a demo either monday or tuesday.

Any more testers?

If there's any way to could get the demo to run on an iPad, I'd help... For some reason, my laptop refuses to connect with the house's Internet, so no downloading for me. If there's any other way I could help out, though, I'd be down.

King Tetiro: Great. I'll send you a link as well then, when it's ready.

Donotfeedthemax: It won't work on the iPad, but I appreciate the offer. You can always try again when you laptop connection is fixed though. I doubt I've already gotten everything glitch-free right of the bat.

For those who want to know: I walked my 40 km and now I have a blister literally the size of my small toe  :'(.

Thanks.

Also, much props for walking the 40km. I'd pass out from exhaustion if I tried that. ^.^

Trees I believe...could be wrong.  Wooden posts should be another one too.

The hookshot attaches best to high stakes. Haha.

But really, pots and rocks don't make any sense to me. But in alttp, I remember it being mainly convenient wooden posts. And eyeballs, it works GREAT on eyeballs.

Also, signs? They're wooden.

In LttP, it attached to bottles, items (which were dragged to you), chests, signs, and posts.

It also grabbed pots, if memory serves.

You mean certain enemies are subsectable to the hookshot, like the eyegores and that eye boss? Or do you mean something different?

ALL: thanks for the input so far. I should be able to make some more progress with this.

I had some follow-up questions so I decided to play the original again. Here's what I found:
The hookshot ledges onto pots, bushes, small rocks, trees, torches (either 16x16 or 16x32), signposts, chests and small items.
The hookshot does not ledge onto frozen enemies, switches, those poles you can hammer into the ground and key items like heart pieces.

Upon closer look the hookshot is a lot more complex for me to do then I figured so I'll leave some aspects for later. Ledging onto trees, torches and signposts will have to wait till I have made more progress on each of those things. I also feel the character should be able to pull key items like heart pieces towards him (like a lazy ass). That'll have to wait as well. The rest I should be able to do. Hopefully today.

No worries. So far you have been the only one who has given me any kind of feedback anyway (which is a bit dissapointing, but still).

PS: While I'm at it anyway. Here's some random screenshots.
