Sorry I've fallen a bit behind--I've been busy with a couple of other areas of the site. Stay tuned for another update or two some time in the near future!

/me takes a whip and threatens Travis with it to go back to work on ticalc

j/k I am kinda happy this finally came out for calcs and given the speed of my old Metroid game, I am surprised that xLIB Shift clone runs that fast.

My only complaint is that you can't both move and jump at once, which would be solved by making the jump key the Up arrow instead of 2nd

Heheee, don't worry, I am already working on a Shift2.0 that fixes some of the bugs that were present in the Contest version. It should be out soon!

This looks like a really clever game.

I never realized how much I depended on news articles for games...it's hard to know what's out there and good until a site features it, so I might just go play this!

Looks like a neat game.

hmm... cool... but looks to be a bit slow...

It's not too bad compared to several others BASIC and hybrid-BASIC games on ticalc.org. It's even a feat that this version of Shift won't simply move square by square like most of them

i see...
hmm... i think i will give it a try simply because it is 1 basic file... i hate huge things

Well you can miss out a lot of good games by singling out huge games just because of their size. Being a huge game doesn't make a game bad. Often they are the best. Dissing someone's hard work just because of its filesize can be quite offensive and discouraging toward the author who tries to provide ticalc with more altenatives to crappy text-based games that doesn't work fine. I can understand if your calc is filled with math stuff and apps, or if you want several games, though.
