The jump height of the character varies wildly, occasionally causing you to do a short hop when holding down the space bar. I also couldn't see any indication of the number of coins I had.

Collisions are a tad buggy at times

Good but short

This game need just that tiniest bit of polish in order to be great.
1. Add some background music
2. Check in the code if a jump is doable or not, as I am fed-up of jumps like this.

@Lancey, Im not sure why the jumping is like that. There was a bug making the jumping funny the I believe I fixed and will look into that and see if I can fix, also coins is in a small box top right :D;

@Kortunga, thanks I will look into it;

@Conflei, thanks;

@Zephyr89, I would have liked to have put in background music although I run out of time, There must be a bug in the code for the jumps witch I will look into.

@vible, Thanks for pointing that out, Ill fix and re upload now :D,

Great idea (love the funny social commentary there), but some gameplay issues. I would have loved to see the amount of my coins being subtracted from; instead my main goal in this game was to avoid dying from sliding into a house.

I like the hand drawn buildings and character. I went on for a long long time and then my score was 5. Taxes! heheh

A lot better now that most of the jump bugs are mostly ironed out.

Not my favorite game of LD27, but it was a funny premise, and the programmer art was charming. :3

One thing to remember when designing a game; always save some time at the end to do a few rounds of bug testing, and try to iron those out. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Jumping felt a little buggy, which made certian jumps nearly impossible.

As Zephyr89 said, you better check in the code the walls that are impossible to jump. Worked fine on android.

I live in Sweden so I know how taxes feels like ;)
Simple but still fun game.

Jumping isn't feels right and there were cases when the guy stayed in air after the platform. Much more work needed on this entry.
