There is only the key to pick up, and a couple of test items already in the player inventory. None of these can be used yet.
At present the exact outcome of the game isn't defined, but I'm planning "keys and doors" style gameplay, whereby the player must first explore the game, discover where various items have been placed, and find the correct use for them in order to progress. The player can carry only two items at any one time, and can only drop items on item pads placed in various rooms.
Fixed - thanks, I should've spotted that straight away. There are no other changes to the bin - I'm too tired to work on it now. I hope this isn't too much spam to post a new one.

I remember this style of floating down from a couple of the 8-bit games of this type I played years ago, so I just went with that. Would people prefer more realistic gravity? I need to round out the top of the jump anyway, the change from jumping to falling is far too immediate at the moment.

Yes, my collision detection is a mixed bag. The ropes and ladders use the TIA collision registers so the player falls down until he touches the top rung of the ladder, which makes climbing off them a pain. I'm not sure what I can do about this - perhaps use a different collision method, or introduce a fudge at the top of ladders somehow.. I'll look into it.
