0.100 is a legal version number, and so is 0.65535.
Though I’m pretty sure neither are semver compliant.
*fanfare*
This is also one of those “*headdesk*, why didn’t we think of that sooner” problems.
Not too many sub- 1.00 numbers left.
I feel like a goose … I can’t believe I didn’t find it earlier.

The thing about the sound was the sound it makes when we die, it seems to loop until we get back in the game, so if you don’t press a button on the Try Again! screen it just loops forever.
I just finished level 9 with the latest version 0.99 and when climbing up to level 10, I couldn’t exit but the number of levels was going up (I stopped at Lvl 12). When restating my ardudboy I could start directly at level 12.
I’ll update right away!
Edit: after playing for a little while, some notes
+1 on the level not ending but adding to the level counter (its possible to engage the winning screen by doing this)
+1 on the death music playing forever
A new issue is when you reach the max levels and then go back to the main menu, if you choose resume game the Arduboy freezes and you have to turn it on then off again to begin, when it should just go to a new game.
Other than that, the men still seem to be kind of buggy. No good way to describe this, other than some random oddities when playing.
This game is really super fun!
The new version 5 release of the Arduboy2 library will probably get you some. I don’t know if it will be enough, though.
The same happened to me as well. It’s like if the level doesn’t reset to load the new level. So it just reloads the game where it was when you climbed that ladder but still does a +1 to the level count.

It’s also happening on the following levels
To all those who wish to continue to play, go to level one and complete it, and bring the level number up to whichever one you are on, then run into one of the men. It will then load the level you selected. This has without fail worked for me.
You can also turn the Arduboy on then off again, however this method does not always work for me.
I am sorry I introduced the level bug everyone and I thank you again for your testing efforts !
This is what happens when you code late at night. You think you have fixed something when in fact you have introduced a new error.
Version 0.99A is out!

Everything seems to work as if should now. But…
Can anyone else confirme me if the rails in the levels are hard to get a hold on?
I mean, i am on level 14, and almost everytime i let go of a rail to drop on another one, if i don’t press UP right after i let go it just falls thru it. this may be normal and i am just not that good at the game. Just needed to know other people’s input on that. Thanks!
Level 14 is just ridiculously hard. You just have to play it a lot before you get the hang of the ropes.
My suggestion is to instead of holding the directional button, just press it when changing elevation.
Edit: New bug. After finishing level 15, if you climb up the ladder to the end of the level nothing happens. I tested this twice and the same thing happened both times, rendering lvl 15 unbeatable.
Good thing it is so easy to get to different levels using V0.99 XD greatest testing tool ever
The good news is there are only 150 levels ! At this rate we should be through them by Easter, 2019.
I may have missed the ‘escape’ ladder on this le el - I will check and republish (again!) if necessary.

Random ideas:
- What if the enemies became bored and went away if the player stands still for too long?
- Or perhaps if the player is a certain distance away they stop being able to see the player and go away?

PR?
I’ll work on it tomorrow.
For now I must sleep.

Well add 17 to the list of non-ending levels. Same exact thing. Too bad I’m away from home, now I can’t continue playing

Version 0.99C is out!
New Features / Fixes / Fudges
- Made the swinging from one rail to another on Level 14 a little easier. @Vampirics please try!
- Added the ability to jump to a level. I am not likely to broadcast this but for testing its invaluable. When the level starts and the man is flashing, hold and continue holding the B button until the LED flashes blue. While continuing to hold the B button, press up and down to change the level number. When you release the B button, the game will restart at the chosen level.
