Welcome quake 

I send you a link in a pm.
(btw. GGM isn't actually private, the axfc-link just doesn't work, because axfc is not a good filehost)

that's really strange, never heard of a similar issue. Does anythin else happen besides the explorer freezing? Maybe you could try using a different explorer than the standard one. I personally use FreeCommander. Doing a system file check could also help.
If nothing else works, upgrading to Windows 10 might be a worth a try.

Gameplay & Discussion / Re: fangam.es/intro - An introduction page for newcomers

The page looks great, the things that have helped me most though are the align guides, do you think it would be worth including these somewhere?

Zurai's strat guide (https://www.iwannacommunity.com/forum/index.php?topic=1202.0),

thebmxbandit's align guide (https://www.iwannacommunity.com/forum/index.php?topic=1342)

and Kinata's Pixel Techniques videos (httpss://www.you......tube.com/channel/UCp0caWk9pHK5qN_CfoEPLdw)

It might also be a good idea to include the link to thebmxbandit's guide to fix the crashes in win8 (https://www.iwannacommunity.com/forum/index.php?topic=1387.0)

Beat the giant RNG bat in Crimson. Not hard, but died often due to not paying attention.


Still need to find 5 secrets. Hope I can find them without using a guide.

Edit: just found a secret behind a random fake wall, with absolutly nothing hinting at it, after going through the same level four times... playing the whole game blind doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore

you could try remapping the R key to caps lock, it works a lot better for me

That is a good idea. I use WASD-controls, so I remapped R to F. restarting is now more comfortable
But I assume the main problem was that my hands are usually not really relaxed while playing. Doing stretches helps a lot with this (as shown here and here. first link also has some additional tipps regarding hand health)

on topic:
Getting those secrets is quite difficult for me. But I figured I won't git any gud by playing easy games

After crawling my way through this, I'm just more motivated to continue the challenge. Otherwise my suffering would be wasted D:

The engine is actually not that bad when you are used to it. A long time ago I played it a lot, even got all items (including the time attack one), and never thought that the physics are weird.

-------------------------------------------
Just finished Tribute. This game was even way worse than I expected. Made me rethink that whole K2 challenge thing.


Although this game is really bad, it's still kind of a classic fangame. I think.

just finished Stage 1 of the K2 Savage Mountain Challenge 
almost forget to get a screenshot of IWBTFG D:


had to use the Windows magnifier glass to not get eye cancer. this game cannot be resized by any other means..
also, why is gravity so strong in this game? I never noticed this when I played it in the past

I thought you were talking about ResizeEnable, because you didn't link or name anything else. I searched myself now, do you maybe mean this?
I guess it's kind of similar, but I personally prefer sizer because it offers more options, and I'm generally not a big fan of fullscreen (but that's just me I guess).

His tool works quite differently from the one I linked. I'm not sure if you even read my post.

I've found an alternative that I personally much prefer over ResizeEnable. It let's you set predefined window sizes and positions (e.g. top left) that you can apply to any window with a hotkey. So it's useful even for those fangames that can be resized by default, because it saves you the hard work of resizing them with your mouse

here's the download: https://www.brianapps.net/sizer/

edit: for 64bit-windows you probably need the beta version: https://www.brianapps.net/sizer/sizer34.html
