I updated with a harpoon gun last night. It took entirely too long to make, but I am happy with how it works. Don't go too nuts with it. I may add in an option that will make it a bit less accurate in predicting where to fire. I'd like to make a quick video of it, so if anyone happens to see a horribly gruesome or funny replay involving the harpoon gun, please link to it in the comments.
Besides that, I made it so the moped couple rotates slightly faster. It's not much, but just enough that it will be easier to flip yourself over again if you are upside down. I also added a "foreground" option to groups. This will allow you to make items that will appear over the player character. You can already see an example of it in Ironhead's level,
Viking Revenge 3.
After a couple weeks, I gave up on trying to find decent moped sounds and attempting to make something appropriate sounding with what I had. In order to get something correct, I may have to have my friend Jason record them on his actual moped.
Most of my recent time was spent less on this update and more on fixing the broken backend of the site. During mid-December it was at it's worst, but it should be much better now. I wanted to have t-shirts up and Santa in the game by Christmas, but there was too much other bullshit to deal with. I was going to go with cafepress, but I've heard the cheaper shirts can be low quality... and I now may have a connection with someone who could help me out.
Just so all youse guys know, I read everything and am not abandoning anyone. I will be hiring a friend or two to help me deal with shit. HAPPY NEW YEARS, and I won't wait a month before news posts again.

[b][/b] Haha nice! I made an account on here pretty recently but i have been playing for months! I THINK YOU HAVE DONE AN INCREEEEDIBLE JOB WITH THIS GAME AND HOW IT IS SO FREE AND LIMITLESS (Besides the shape limit) And how people can expirament and share and have a wonderful bloody experience! =D

I LOVE the harpoon gun. I have an amazing idea for a level im working on. I (with GREAT diffuclty) was able to get the harpoon to stick into a building and i grabbed my helmet and use it as a rapel! Now im just working on the actually level.... Oh and ty

By thibo2217 on Jan. 5th, 2011 01:00AM
AWESOME! Not only youve made an awesome new hazard (wich must have been a pain in the ass to code) but you have improved my favorite character! THACK YOU!
By retardlard on Jan. 5th, 2011 01:48AM
only thing that could make the harpoon gun better is a timer, like on the spring platform
By rossmtb on Jan. 5th, 2011 02:19AM
AWESOME HARPOON!!!!!
the next character u should make is a downhill mountain biker and bike has to ave working shocks
By bramtrol on Jan. 5th, 2011 04:13AM
I once was shot by an harpoon and when i hung on the rope of the harpoon I hung on my intestines too and my cervical :P that was a very long rope...
sorry for my bad english..

You're awesome, Jim!
By krazek on Jan. 5th, 2011 06:00AM
harpoon gun is so freakin awesome that I can't tell...
more control over the moped couple is a nice adjustment!

DUDE GOTA LOVE THE HARPOON RESPECT TRULY!!!:D
By FjrWizard on Jan. 5th, 2011 06:24AM
for the moped sound, you can try searching in other games involving moped sounds(gta for example), and copy sounds there from (of course you first ask the makers of that game if its ok that you use it). and by the way, this must be the best free-to-play-without-download game on the web, seriously YOU ARE THE BEST
By Schmirn on Jan. 5th, 2011 06:36AM
I'm attempting to make a level for a video, but Happy Wheels keeps crashing. Hopefully it won't crash later today when I retry. But it's got me to pissed to try it a fourth time at the moment.
By RenanCecil on Jan. 5th, 2011 07:15AM
Welcome back, Jim! Happy New Year for you too and thanks for the updates.
By nicomelesi on Jan. 5th, 2011 07:22AM
i cant work out how to make the objects go in front of the character? also it would be great to be able to layer objects, like you can on word with 'send to back' and 'bring forward' stuff like that :) PLEASE MAKE MORE CHARACTERS! :D i appreciate that it is probably very difficult and time consuming but it would be great :)

Could you make the harpoon have an option so it drags you to it self, when it has shot you? And you could like select the power.
By Gimseboomboom on Jan. 5th, 2011 09:23AM
Can you please fix it so that a new password is sent to the email if you have forgotten it?
Please? I dont think it is working at the moment :D

By gunleik1551 on Jan. 5th, 2011 10:40AM
could you make it possible to track your own replays, and search for others replays as well?
by the way, can you make it possible to change the focus of the camera from one character to another during replays? you know, like when you are playing with the dad or the moped couple...
thank you
By 13montel on Jan. 5th, 2011 11:16AM
Dude, I love you.
By Zerik on Jan. 5th, 2011 11:45AM
this is just a weird idea but:
maybe make something new, like survival levels? try to survive as long as possible, and not need to complete ofc :D
harpoon kick paris hilton's ass btw ;)

Jim, please make it possible to use layers in the editor. By the way I can't ctrl+z, ctrl+y, ctrl+c or ctrl+v but in my old PC I could ctrl+z and ctrl+y, can you fix that

My replay of the harpoon, I hope you like it.
By EviLKitteeh on Jan. 5th, 2011 2:33PM
Hey Jim,
I have this awesome idea... Since you have already made a harpoon thing, could you make a character with a harpoon gun?? That would be fun that you could like shoot it and in/decrease rope lenght by Ctrl and Shift, the character could be like a crazy fisherman on perhaps a tricycle or something LOL...
I really hope you'll read this and make that character ;P

keep on keepin on,Jordan
