Hi Yohandy, Regarding sensativity that's pretty hard to do in an audio game. Especially, one using a keyboard because something like DirectX only cares if the key is pressed or released. How hard you hold it down is irrelavant. So that is certainly a drawback to creating a game for the PC.
As for moving/vanishing platforms, hanging ledges, etc I had all that in Montezuma's Revenge. if I hadn't gottn my butt chewed on for copyrights we would have a game like that right now. So when I wrote MOTA I wanted to step away from the Monte desaster and do something different. Although, I could probably include some of Monte's features.
