Old Hazard "feature" removed ...

some of you wont know what i mean with "old feature" so here are some examples, what could be done with hazards before.

All these arrows show, what you could do before: after death you could fly as a dying smiley for about 1 sec and activate respawns and grab coins, like you were still alive(only that you could not move in this state).
But now its like this: after death you wont activate a respawn point or grab a coin.

why changing this? just because people did not make this kind of use of hazards? well, i did and i ruined this great sized world, that took 2 weeks to built alone.

its the same like when physics were changed back then, it also destroyed a very nice level, that you would not see that often.

here is the level link, in case someone wants to have a closer look:

and down here are the warps, that show where they lead to. L for left and R for right warp in each box
left bottom is box 1, right top is box 84.

I don't think suicide to get to a checkpoint or to collect coins is a good gameplay mechanic.   I'd find it really dumb having to kill yourself in a Mario game so you could jump up through blocks to nab something then fall and finish the death animation.

I guess it didn't need to be fixed but it's still a bad mechanic.

Re: Old Hazard "feature" removed ...

Damn I had a few really good minigames in one of my worlds abusing this "feature".
Plus I just loved the confusion of some people when they saw spikes blocking the path.

Y'know, instead of fixing this bug, I would have prefered if they fix the perma-death bug or the bug where you're warped to the topleft border block.

This is a very layed-out and detailed explanation, I'm also shocked you know all the portal coordinates.

There should be a separate block, like a soulsteal hazard, that kills you but allows you to collect things on your death route.

i dont know the portal coordinates. i made a list first and then put them into the level.
I just copied the list.
