I got directed here from a YouTube video go someone doing a custom level (Nitro Fun). Very impressive! The levels definitely capture the feeling of Crash gameplay, and it was nostalgic to puzzle out how to jump on series of boxes over bottomless pits once again. I also like the Mario style of rewarding skilled gameplay with harder bonus levels.
Unfortunately, the engine gives me a similar uncanny feeling as Pokemon Essentials -- it's so close to the real Crash style that the few differences (some of the movement physics and the dynamic camera, nitro crates not jiggling, etc.) become all the more jarring. I don't know if you plan to touch that up for v1.0, but the closer you can get to emulating PS1 Crash the better. (The dynamic camera is a particular issue, as this YouTube video explains.)
I also encountered some bugs in Castle Mania: Only some of the wooden platforms fully retract (for the ones that don't, you can walk on the sliver even when fully retracted); the moving wooden platforms create some momentum glitches where Crash continues moving in the direction of the platform when he jumps off it; and it's possible to climb on the slidey-stairs even when they're retracted. I also didn't realize the autosave didn't produce a hard save if you quit to main menu, which was a nasty surprise.
This is a great project, but as someone who used to play Crash 2 and 3 quite a bit, I'd like to see the slide-spin-jump giving bit more height than just a slide-jump, like on the PS1 games.
THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE IN THE NEXT UPDATE V0.96 APK AND PC
Creating Front and back also not only left right
CREATING INFINITE LEVELS
MORE 26 DIFFERENT BOSSES AND 145 DIFFERENT OPPONENTS ADDED
POSSIBILITY TO CREATE COMMA IN TIMED LEVELS IN THE PHONE VERSION, I.E. NOT 1 BECAUSE I CAN ONLY ENTER A NUMBER AND ONE AND ONLY ONE OR AS IT IS IN CRASH BANDICOOT 0:00:00 IN THIS EXAMPLE
this is very cool! I 100% the entire game and had lots of fun doing so. but there are some things that I feel could be improved or added:
the amount of lag the camera has vertically in 2D mode can be a bit disorienting, and can also lead to jumps being a bit hard to do since it takes a lot longer for them to get in view.
another thing that bothers me a little is also the apparent lack of jump buffering (as in the game keeping your jump input for a while if you press it while in a state that you can't jump in, and then executing it once you're able to jump), it leads to it feeling like the game consumes your jump at times as it only registers a jump input when you're on the ground.
there's also something that isn't really important but a bit weird looking, that being the inconsistency with fonts. the slash in the crate HUD is seemingly from some standard font instead of the crash font, and the "BONUS" text in bonus stages also uses an HD version of the font, unlike the rest of the HUD. it's not at all important but it does lead to the HUD looking a bit funky.
the last thing I want to comment on is the lack of the slide spin, it's not super important but it does allow for some more movement tech and does make spinning while sliding feel a lot better than it does right now.
overall though this is a very cool and pretty impressive project and I'm excited to see where it'll go from here.
Wow this is amazing, especially the editor! Just one little suggestion - It would be nice if we were able to import our own music, to give our levels even more personal identity. I create a retro-style music and it would be really nice if I were able to combine it with the editor.
This is literally the coolest thing in existence! I have but one question...
Are their any plans for adding elements and enemies to Crash Creator? or if at all possible... possibly make it so people can add their own elements & platforms?
forreal tho, as it stands... it is a beautiful call to simpler times, and a childhood dream fulfilled for so many!

"I want to give such an opinion, it's a cool game, but here’s what I would like to see in version 1.00v
Creating forward and backward, meaning infinite 3D creation, like in Crazy Fox Adventure 2, more blocks and bosses, and more backgrounds."
kiedy wyjdzie wersja 1,00v
"When will Crash Bandicoot Back In Time v1.00 be released?"
the experience of beat 100% of the game is a think VERY hard to do sometimes like uka uka trial and flashback tapes, but i did it beat 100%
make mac version
and ios

I have a problem, with my controller GameSir Nova Lite the game dosen't recognize. Can you help ?

If it could run on PSP or VITA, it would be like a dream come true.
