Me and my friend decided that this time we would participate in the Ludum Dare Jam!
After a couple of hours of debating over ideas we started to work on one idea each to see which one would turn out the best. After more hours of work and lastly failing to reach an agreement over which idea we should implement, we decided to continue down separate paths and implement one game each :)
Here are my entry, which I got weirdly hooked on after some hours of brainstorming. The idea is very simple, it's a runner game with a never ending labyrinth.
Nice twist on the runner game :) It did get a little too tough some times, though, with dead ends running very far to the right. I didn't feel like I had a chance to spot I was running down a dead end before it was too late. Also having to hold down the mouse button caused me to slip once in a while. Good idea, though.
I spent quite a while on this game. I think it would be better if you didn't have to hold left click, it just strains the finger more than anything else. Also agree with all other comments.
Really nice idea, and very well executed random level generator! Personally, i should preferred keyboard control, rathere than mouse one, but it's just a preference.
Need more difficult breakdown, something like increasing speed
Yeah the difficulty should probably increase in some way, in it's current state it's more like an endurance test :)
Regarding the "holding the mouse button down"-issue, it's because I always try to build games that would transition well to mobile, but I should probably have fixed so that you could click to hold or release the ball on PC.
@The Consul. Try to wait a moment and then press the address bar and enter, it fixes the problem for me. I have tried to fix this bug but it mocks me, it appears when I have many big assets in the project. I develop using Haxe/NME, if anyone recognise the problem feel free to hint a solution.
Nice game but I agree that there needs to be more of a difficulty progression since it gets a little harder then tails off. Also it would be nice if the thing you control is a little more responsive. Still nice concept and executed well.
Fun! But, the mouse control was a little awkward because of the constantly moving screen though. It would've been a little better control if I wasn't forced to hold the mouse button down.
I like the concept. I sat there holding my left mouse button for quite a while before I got bored and committed suicide to get a high score. Other than the button mechanic, I liked the mouse control.
Some progression, like the occasional goal or level boundary would be nice. Also, some of those coins are damn hard to get to, make them worth more points so that the reward feels worth the risk.
Need more difficulty progression :).
