Make a binky is a game where you control a rabbit by typing commands into a command line. The only tricky thing is that the screen keeps moving faster and you have to avoid to get outside of the screen on either side. To make it a bit harder there are three kind of enemies which you should avoid as well.
List of possible commands:
start - will start a new game. pause - will pause the current game or resume it if paused set X Y - will set the rabbit to the position XY eg. set 500 50
And that's it.
As there are no skill levels you can change the difficulty by resizing the window. I didn't have much time, so there are probably lots of bugs, because i'm writing my bachelor thesis at the moment and im running out of time there but i wanted to submit a game anyway. Have fun playing my first (finished) game!
P.S. Written with Lazarus (Free Pascal) Sorry for no mac os code but i don't have a mac. Source works fine with linux though, so maybe it works with mac os as well.
And I forgot the rabbit is a painting by my niece. The monsters are a modification of the rabbit i made with inkscape.

Hahaha! That's a pretty sweet take on the theme. Great!
i forgot to mention that similar to the terminal or command line you can use up down buttons to get the last typed command, so you don't need to type all of it again. @sanguine: my first idea was actually that you had to make an own ai, by commands, but i thought it would be too complicated already, i wanted to finish something just once. ;)
Pretty funny - I can definitely feel the influence of the niece in the game. Would have been nice to have some kid like controls too (something that didn't involve typing) and some audio. This did make me smile too!
rather good application of the theme, I would prefer it if the 0 of y was at the bottom, it just feels odd increasing y to have the character move down

Really simple but addictive game. I like it!
Good job and congratulation on finishing on your first LD!
This was really cool, really minimalist interpretation of the trade-off between being fast and requiring accuracy.
