That’s not all there is to it, however. Check out the changelog below to get more information on what’s added to the Level Editor, the game proper, and other aspects of StillAliveDS:

Level Editor:

• You now have to upload your maps through the level editor. Only possible if the map was finished.
• New clear button which deletes everything on screen.

Game:

• moving platforms : Jump on them to move in the map. They kill you if you’re stuck. You can put portals on them.
• acid pool : Don’t try to swim in it.
• reflecting wall (which is also a slippery floor) : Shoot a portal on it and it will be reflected. Up to 5 bounces are possible.

• customizable controls : just click on a control to change the associated action.

Other:
