First Ludum Dare and second attempt at making any game. The entire thing is written in Java. You play a really simple never ending impossible game/runner style game that continually increases in difficulty.

-Right+Left arrow to move, Space to jump
-collect stars for points
-The terrain is generated randomly with possibly taller stuctures as difficulty increases(jump height also increases with difficulty)
-All sounds were created with SFXR

Too minimal? nah... Not a lot there, but what is there seems to be solid. Not bad for a second game ever.

Totally fun! I agree with Jarcas. Great effort, loved the jumping and wireframe art.

Great for a second attempt at a game ever. I liked the art, it fit the theme well and looked fairly unique.

The game-play was not bad but I found I could pretty much stay alive just by holding right and mashing the jump key. Maybe obstetrical in the air too would have helped.

None the less, good job!

Getting a 502 bad gateway. Try putting it on dropbox.

Wanted to play, but link is producing a bad gateway/502. :(

Maybe it’s just a temporary thing but the download fails. "Bad gateway".

Same as above :( I can't download it.

nice, great game got to red, but the constant jumping sound was a little annoying

A lot of fun. Hard to gauge where things were going to be with the stars moving at a different speed than the blocks.

Nice game, true to the theme :D
(Pro tip: put weights on you right arrow key and the space bar and go do something else -> endless points, yay xD)

When you make an archive please include one single top-level directory, not a bunch of files, so extracting it does not put files everywhere :).

Well made but just keeping right and space pressed lets you go on forever (?). The game pauses a couple seconds from time to time, is this caused by garbage collection?
