can you complete the given task ... within the given time limit of sixty seconds ?-)
there's five free random weapons if you can !-)
or for the sixty seconds, all coins are worth double, or maybe even triple !-)
the Enlarge-O-Scope now shows your current mini-mission (when on, below the game buttons and above the weapons buttons).
more Manic-Miners-Mini-Missions coming ... this week !-)
so, what with the recently added ... jewel-bags, coins, fuse bombs, and lasers ... why not give it a go, today ?-)
especially, if you've wish-listed it already !-)
"blowing up the bad gas with me brand new lasers !-)"

T.N.T.S, FUSE BOMBS & LASERS !-)
first video is "Infinite Weapons Test Demo" !-)
what was the TNT button, is now a more general WEAPONS button. for choosing from the available weapons carried by your selected miner. thus also now, your first two smileys improve your senses, then each extra one taken gives your miner an extra random weapon !-)
in FUSE BOMB mode, you'll see a fading bomb showing where the bomb will be dropped, if you press the left mouse button. also, fuse bombs can be pushed, so as to be dropped down mine shafts ... but do be sure to get out of the way before the fuse runs out ...
BBBOOOOOOOOMMMM !-)
in LASER mode, you'll see a fading laser spot showing where the laser will be fired from, if you press the left mouse button. have fun blasting away!
maddma
WHAT'S NEW NOW ?-)
1) collectable coins, which you receive payment for instantly - much less than jewels, but no need to get them back home: bronze=50, silver=100, gold=200 !-)
2) jewel bags, which will be dropped by any dead Miner whom was carrying jewels (half of them will be lost), if there's a space to drop one - so your next bod can come along and pickup where the unfortunate soul met a sticky end !-)
3) and an improved help mode - click on a map object to hear a description of its properties !-)
maddma
so if you saw version 1.0
and thought nahhhh, please try the latest version - the additions and improvements are many ... fold !-) eg: stats/achievements, 2-player online game, a simple map editor, Manic Minnie (the voice), help mode, smoke as well as gas clouds, improved graphics (eg: the water effect);

FANCY TOSSING YOUR TNT AT A ... FRIEND ?-)
tas been a MAD nearly two-weeks of weird head-grafting ...
but initial indications seem most promising ...
hopefully ... soonly quite soon ... a
TWO-PLAYER ONLINE
MANIC MINERS
WILL EXISTETH ?-)
including a snoop-mode (by pressing TAB!)
where you can spy on what your opponent
is up to (if your Tiny Miner has dropped two
smileys and thus has radar-o-senses !-) ...
have a quick look at the short second video there;
one player selects a landscape/difficulty and invites,
as PLAYER ONE (on the left), and the other player
accepts, as PLAYER TWO (on the right), and both
players games smoothly ... commence !-)

NOW WITH ... Map Editor - Beta Version !-)
Has basic editing functionality, with load and save map.
In the coming week ...
Title screen option to load and play a saved map.
Further functions and instructions for the editor.
This Week, I Will Mostly Be ...
Adding a "Manic Whirled" Editor !-)
Thus far, add/delete/drag points which define the landscape shape, and slider bars to select grass/earth/water colours.
I'm top at code, but doubt my ability to design levels - anyone wanting to contribute to free online maps, please watch this space in the next week or two ?-)
This Week, I Will Mostly Be ...
Adding a "Manic Whirled" Editor.
And it's Round One to Me !-)
That's adding/deleting and dragging points
which define the parametric curvature of the
landscape (or specify stepped or flat land).
If anyone does have a quick play with it,
please let me know if anything "falls over".
Would also like anyone whom wishes to do
so, to design some levels, in about a week
or so. Hoping to make such maps freely
available via Steam, and/or fix them into
the game ?-)
Thank you !-)
