Another Kind of World (Remake)

[MadByte]

So...
about two weeks ago I had a nostalgic moment when I searched for old LÖVE games I could remember playing (and enjoying) when I was more active in the forums. Most of them still can be found (like Mr.Rescue, Sienna, Stabyourself games, etc) but for one I just found a broken fork (after quite some digging), so I decided to use the assets and make it playable again. (I hope it's okay for you, daandruff)...

This is a complete rewrite of Another Kind of World, an old Ludum Dare entry originally submitted by daandruff back in 2012 (old topic).

Can anyone else remember the game?

Changes: V1.3.0
Daandruff decided to join me on remaking his old game(!) (for the moment), so the game has seen quite some changes since V1.2.0.

• New level file format!
• New sprite and tile graphics made by daandruff!
• New sounds & a new loop song made by daandruff!
• Improvements to the level editor!
• New tile: Lava!
• Many tweaks and fixes

V1.3.0: love (mirror) - Win32 executable (zipped)
(older versions can be found in the release section on Github)

I wasn't here to remember that game, but it sure looks ahead of its time. It looks on par with today's LudumDares.

As a side-note, Stabyourself Games and Tangram Games (Starting with Duck Marines) eventually led me to Love2D... specifically when Sienna explicitly credited it.

I remember this! Used this port as an example for my port of love.js to v11.3!

Ah, different browser implementations here we go. Tested on chrome (mac + Windows only). More improvements to go! Thanks!

Edit: This is a Firefox "feature" that you can toggle: https://github.com/ggerganov/kbd-audio/issues/9
