Hey Matthew Griebner, I have a big job for you. I am thinking this should be done before we meet up at wild rover. Wild Rover meetings have been going for quite a while, so take as much time as you need to get this done: #1: Make a pixel animation of Alice exploding that is 80x80 pixels. With Alice starting in the middle. #2: Make a pixel animation of Alice [Imploding/Re-forming] that is 80x80 pixels. With Alice starting in the middle. I could do the job with particles, but I think this job is best solved with art. Both meat boy and pause ahead explode the character when it dies. And Ive been wanting to polish up the death of the character. Meat Boy: newgrounds/portal/view/463241 Pause Ahead: newgrounds/portal/view/628969 The game now instant re-spawns based on the suggestion of a few of my testers. Do death screen. The level just resets after you die. I played it a few times like this and it is much more fun this way. Switching screens every time you die can be super distracting if you are dying a lot. The Number of frames for each animation is up to you. Whatever gets the job done in a professional and polished manner.
