Hi, got another update to The Game, not sure if ill do another. Ive kinda been on the one thing a while and would like to try summit different / new. So anyway I decided to upload the source code to.
I renamed to The Game Red Temple, mainly Because the other name sounded weird.

Save / Load
The Game will now keep a savefile. The savefile is auto updated after completing a level. You can load the savefile
Using continuous on the start menu. Only 1 savefile is maintained.

Particles
I started writing a simple particle engine for some special effects, not done much yet but you can move
the pen on the upper screen during the titlescreen to move the water drops.

Grabbing
* You can now grab trashcan and pull them. Grab one by facing it and press A. I added this because trashcan would Constantly
get stuck against walls. So now you can pull it away!

Bosses
* Boss 1 added to The Game. Be careful of his bullets, turrets and suction move.

Screen Scrolling
Levels can now be bigger than the screen. Allowing for more possible designs of levels. Old level size is 16x12 tiles, new design is
50x20. It could be bigger, but i dont want it to be so big it makes levels too hard. This should be enough.

Level Storage
I redesigned levels were stored how to try and Reduce the memory needed for them.

Sounds
I added some sound effects, currently using maxmod, all sound effects are me being an idiot in a mic No Music tho: /

Demonstrations
Demos are now in the options and are not played during The Game. So if you dont know how to play
You can watch the demos to learn some ideas of The Game. Demos are currently disabled, if you dont know how to play
you could play version 2 of The Game, Which has demos in it.

Item mixing

* Potion + Map = Spell Powder. Spell Powder is used by clicking on a totem. It will teleport you to the starting point levels.

* Gun powder + Metal = Dynamite. Dynamite Can be used for destroying enemy spawn points.

Turrets
Both the player and enemy can stand on switches Allowing you to take over a turret. Turrets fires bullets at intervals
killing the opposite side. By pressing the turret switches multiple times will upgrade the firing speed of the turret.
Turret levels are 0, 1, 2, 3.
