I've made a video of gameplay. I've played on my laptop so there's lag. Unfortunately, there's no sound because of application I use to record gameplay. I've also made one walkthrough video which I will post as soon as YouTube publish it, it is already uploaded.
So, here's gameplay. :D

edit: Actually, second video (walkthrough) is too long. I'll make two shorter videos and post them.

Cool, thanks Koala.
Yes, I'm glad you were able to let me see how the game plays on your lap top. I was thinking the lag could be from the graphics card on laptops. So far every laptop I've seen it played on had lag. Desktop computers seem to run it well so far.

My new planned GE game in 2015 will be smaller in scale, so I'm hoping lag won't be a problem on any computer.

I think he explicitly pointed out that the lag is due to the screen recorder.
On the other hand, laptops are truly known to be with awful performance.
Even though, your game runs smoothly on my laptop.
The processor is slow, the video is decent - NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M (with 900 MHz memory clock) but that doesn't change a thing.

Lag is really due to my laptop. I use Free Screen Video Recorder because it makes very small lag, not that noticeable. I'd rather upload a video without sound, than with lag. :)

Nice progress! Thank you.

Have you been able to play the Demo Version of Tomb of Twelve yet, Koala? I wonder if the frame rate is better, without any lag in that demo version on your lap top?

----------
Bat78, thanks for the feedback on your laptop also.

Nope. No lag at all. Runs smoothly as a silk. :lol:

Good to hear, thanks. Glad the demo runs as intended. Less stuff in the demo, so less wear on the graphics processor.

With the main game, I got carried away and kept adding new places to explore till the program reached it's tile limit in the editor, after which I could only experience the gameplay results by exporting the game. I noticed it would slow down when I would add more draw actor enemies towards the player, so I had to cut back on some of the extra enemies I was planning to include. To keep the frame rate normal, I had to switch it from 30 fps to something like 90 fps.

I would like to make a new game this size with a steady frame rate playable on all laptops, but would probably have to go about it differently next time.

I really don't mind the lag. Game is still playable and responsive. And of course, lag doesn't ruin this interesting game. 8)

That is good to hear the game is still playable, thank you Koala.

When Bumpus finally earns the ability to turn into a ghost, he can fly anywhere in the land, though he can't go through walls. I was thinking about letting him go through walls, but then decided against it as it would make the landscape less important. As a ghost, he can collect those skulls hidden throughout the land. I still have trouble finding them all when I replay the game.
The ghost form can also unlock secret doors inaccessible to Bumpus as a human.

I was wondering how can I collect those skulls and should I collect them at all. But they are in progress menu, and it says 0/60, so I thought they must be collected.

Hi Koala. The Skulls are more of a collectible, so they won't advance the story like the keys will. Some keys can only be accessed by the ghost. There are also jars of paint that can be collected to change the appearance of your character slightly, collected by the ghost.
