I could say a lot of things that it is missing, but I wont. All I'll say is that the boxes that say "winner!!! ===>" Should be removed when you start the next race.
This game is, although pretty below average, much better than the 10 second games that begginers make in which you drag your maze through a maze and yet they get rated 3/5 and most people rate this 2/5 WTF.
People are too generous with others that claim of their first game. This is obviously a 1/5 and doesn't deserve a 3/5 because he is learning.
Good feedback will help him, not a higher rating.
Much better than the shit that most 'first games' are full of. Even considering that it is just the same old tutorial. You get double what I rate them. 2/5 good man. I hope you continue to get better.
To be fair, yes I do agree that A is as good if not BETTER. Some things get complicated when you bring in UP as the jump. The only thing I can wholely reccommend is that you don't have do press up again to grab onto a new rope/ladder. Holding up should grab the next one I believe.
Lancer; that is becasue you can't, the computer has four buttons and not one stick that you can't really go right and up with.

On another note, although I'm not planning on playing through the whole game, I do like it and give it 4/5.
PseudoLoneWolf: You think having A as jump is sillier than having A as climbing ladders and entering doors?
You have already rectified the problem by having changable controls. But, UP as jump makes a lot more sense than A. Think about it. Relative to how we see the level, left goes left, right goes right and up should go up (as it does for ladders, but it is also levers and doors?). 'A' is a much more suitable command for these as it is a 'use' command.
PS. As I have seen in other games similar to these, Climbing ladders and jumping works well as a single button.
nukedboom, that is bullshit. I can imagine, at very most, 10 lines of code in that game.
on(Release){
nextFrame();
}
That is for the first button.
if(blahblah.hitTest(blahblah)){
nextFrame();
}
That is pretty much the code on the mouse and on the goal.
Don't say that we have no idea of games when I looked at your games and they are either pure shit, or completely stolen from a tutorial and still pure shit. That D means that you have put a game on Kong, not that you can develop. AS is one of the easiest languages btw.
