You are a lone risk-taking stick-figure going for the thrill ride of a lifetime, jumping from tiny island to tiny island near Iceland in a valiant and death-defying effort to score points and get the high score!
FEATURES: REAL TIME 2D WATER PHYSICS (Or a distant facsimile at least) MUSIC (kinda) VOICE ACTING (lol)
INSTRUCTIONS: Press Return/Enter to start the game. Z jumps, left and right move left and right. Jump at the peak of the waves for the best distance. Level 5 is when things start to get interesting...
UPDATE: Finished uploading my Time Lapse to YouTube! Check it out here:
UPDATE 2: Forgot to put the tools/libraries used in making this:
Tools: XCode (Code) Pixelmator (Graphics Planning) Korg iElectribe for iPad (Music) Audacity (Sound Editing) sfxr for iPhone (Sound Effects)
I was really nonplussed when it started, but I waited patiently until Level 5, as you said. Things really did get interesting. I made it until 12 before being thrown catastrophically into the ocean. Quite a lot of fun here.
The physics aren't bad, and the sparse graphics don't detract. I love the death sound.
Great one! Reminded me of some of the gameplay in N+, but very creative use of the theme and a nice smooth implementation. It gets old faster than it gets hard, but there are lots of things you could add to improve that.
Now that is something. You captured a good game right there. Controls are precise, the effect is interesting. And the lava blobs at level 5 came quite as a surprise. Rock solid entry!
Huh, I actually really like that. The Good - Water pseudo-physics where awesome. Tight controls, good music, appropriate sound fx. Death sound was charming. The Bad - nothing really. Could have used more levels, and maybe an encouragement for speedruns or jumping really high or something, just so it wasnt jump left, okay, wait a second for the water to chill out, jump left again. Whats that your done? Jump right. Lather rinse repeat. The Ugly - programmer art. It was actually kind of charming tho, so Im not scoring you down for it.
