Ride your mine cart through a random generated cave, standing up to get points and collect gems and ducking to avoid stalactites.
Made with C++, SDL, openGL, Chipmunk Physics, Paint.NET, sfxr, and gcc. EDIT: changed player pictures
NOTE: if you start stuck in a really short cave, just press escape and try again
UPDATE: I know this works in XPx86, maybe 64-bit or Vista breaks it? If it crashes for you, please download the debug version, run it, and then tell me the number in debug.txt
Interesting idea and its implementation, fluid wagon movement is quite enjoyable :) The sudden death makes it a bit frustrating after a while - how about a slight damage instead of a death and restart?
This is an interesting twist on the 'travel though a tunnel without hitting the edges' game. I really liked the 'stand up for more points' mechanic. However, sometimes I started the game stuck in the wall.
Anyway, a cute little game, if somewhat boring later on. Would be nice to have three keys for the different heights, I miss a lot of coins, because I can't press up fast enough. On the first play the mine floor and ceiling didn't match up and it was instant death. What is the physics engine used for?
The freakishly tall man in the cart is the stuff of nightmares. The music sounded neat, but it was SO quiet compared to the sfx that it was really hard to get much from it.
Neat idea. Great graphics and sound, game and the music worked without any problems for me. However it looked kind of like the minecart was getting an erection. The "insta-duck" made it a bit too easy, I think you should have to lower your stance as many times as you raise it. Also there should be something to keep you from just permaducking and just letting the game run.
Needs a lot more variety, but I love the randomly generated caves, very fun.
I think if you took this engine and combined it with the something like the gameplay from "Shopping Cart Hero" (google it if you haven't played it) you would have a seriously awesome game.
Gameplay works pretty well.
