My eventual plan is to have three mechanics to tune. Here's the Mario-ish one: http://www.steveswink.com/Tune/Tune_D_01.htm The plunger guy was the first one I tried building a progression around because it has the most straightforward parameters to tune. When you start playing with Mario style controls, you start getting state shifts and have to look at things like aftertouch timings and things like that, which are a lot harder to wrap your brain around. The above test is a sandbox with a bunch of parameters exposed. That said, I'm going to move away from the whole progression structure and do something more freeform and platformy. Thanks for the feedback! Steve I updated the UI to be more in line with what I want the game to be about, which is the tweaking of parameters: http://www.steveswink.com/posts/tune-8/
