Bladebox v0.1 beta

Bladebox is a platformer making game. I'm working on this since March and wanted to upload it in June, but then I saw that Mutantdevle works on something similar.
I didn't want to upload it in June and look like I copied his game, so I quickly completed this early version and uploaded it:
Link is currently down, sorry. I'm still working on it.
All made on the Peter engine, as always:
http://www.breatharian.eu/Petr/en/index.htm

Version 0.1:

• Fixed some physics bugs. There are still some bugs, I'm currently working on them.

• Changed one block texture because it was misaligned.

▼Bladebox features:

Walls - normal blocks you collide with.
Slopes - a triangular version of walls, the player slowly slides down.
Boxes - they come in various sizes, can be pushed and slide down on slopes. They still might be buggy.
Blades - Blades kill the player and restart the game. There are two types of blades:

• Static blades - They stay at one point.

• Moving blades - They move back and forward on a path. You can set its speed in the editor.
  Blades slow down the game a lot, so it's better to place just a few of them.

Decorations - Basically images that don't do anything. They can be on background (behind everything) or foreground (in front of everything).
No sprite - this special invisible decoration hides the player in a 2×2 block area. The player flickers in the corners because of the way the engine handles sprite visibility.
Logics - there are three types of logics:

• Doors are solid blocks whose collision can be turned on and off.

• Button toggles the doors' state when the player or a box stands on it.

• Levers toggle the doors' state when a player walks past it.

Each logic has an ID. Every button or lever affects the doors with the same ID.
Two buttons/levers with the same ID work as XOR - when both of them are activated, all doors turn off.
When three buttons/levers are activated, the doors open again. Four buttons/levers turn the doors off, five on, six off etc.

▼How to use the editor

Maximum limit of blades, decorations, switches and boxes on the map is 1,000. The maximum limit of walls and slopes on the map is bigger, up to 10,000.
When you set the block type to "Logics", you can give the switches an ID. will turn the ID on. There's a total of 1,000 IDs available.
Click these arrows to select the block type.
Open a level.
The speed of the gameplay, useful when you have a lot of blocks in your level. Higher values are faster.
Set the level's gravity, might be still buggy. Higher values make higher gravity.
The map's size will be 2× bigger.
Draw ID numbers on top of the doors, buttons and levers.
Holding left mouse button will move the blocks instead of placing new ones.
Place blocks on a 1×1 grid. If you uncheck this, you can place blocks anywhere.
Turn all IDs off.
Delete everything on the map.
Save the level.
Playtest the level.

▼Previous versions

Version 0.01:

• First version. I wanted to complete it as fast as possible, so I left a lot of bugs unfixed.

▼Known bugs:

• As mentioned earlier, the player flickers when standing in the corner of a no-sprite block.

• Some moving blades spawn without a path and move back and forward to position -1, -1.

Well, I always wanted to make a platformer. About a year ago I was building on some **** Android game makers, and I mean, you can build something there, but it's just bad. Now I finally get to create something good
and about the game, there's nothing much to say, it's a normal platform game when you build your own levels. I included the controlling instructions in-game, so when you open it, it should tell you how to place/remove blocks, playtest etc.
