GOLD PETROL: JET-POWERED SURFACE MINING SIMULATOR

Cross-Platform Version Added!


Just completed a version of Gold Patrol that will work on non-Windows systems. Theoretically, the old version “should” have worked on non-Windows systems already as long as you were using a .NET distribution such as Mono (or Portable.NET, I’m told). In reality, it didn’t work because I had unknowingly used a Windows-specific function at one point (a keyboard function from the Windows Presentation Foundation, for those who are interested). I had to retool the game quite a bit to get it to work without this function, but in the process I was able to introduce some tweaks that I think are improvements.

The plane has a much more “swoopy” (not flappy!) movement now: when you change direction (up or down) it keeps going in that direction until press that direction button again, change direction, or change speed (right or left). It’s kind of a subtle change that makes the game harder in some ways and easier in others, but over all more interesting.

Along with the change in controls, the newer version also allows you to go a little slower, if you so choose.

What you all think

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
