Welcome To 'The Red Button'; a fast paced unforgiving platformer. You have 10 seconds to reach the red button or else. Simple ... Right?
There are a few obstacles standing in your way but with only 10 seconds on the clock speed is your only option. There are a total of 10 playable levels in my submission; I would have liked to add more but that would have meant less polishing! Your progress is saved as are your level times.
I've experimented with the graphics here and couldn't be happier; they seem to really compliment the fast paced gameplay. Don't take my word for it though, check it out!
For the best gameplay use a controller!
Everything was creating in under 48 hours. The music is a chip remix of a sample from Better Off Alone - Alice DJ that I created in this 48 hour time span.
If you like the game be sure to let me know @greeny_games! I had a lot of fun making this over the weekend and may carry on with it further down the line.
FAQ Q. When I finish a level the timer seems off. A. Once you have finished a level the timer switches to show you your completed time and is colour coded. Green = Fast | Orange = Ok | Red = Just in time.
Q. When I start the game i see 'xinput1_3.dll not found. Gamepad support disabled'. A. All this means is you're mussing the .dll to use a gamepad (I advise using one it's much better). You can either download it or click ignore to just use the keyboard :)
Q. There's a bug when changing levels A. A few people have experienced a bug of some kind when changing levels. I can't recreate this so if you find it could you please tell me exactly what it is?! It's driving me nuts (I presume people don't mean the poor collision with the button; that's down to not enough polish time!)
Good Game but I got stuck on level 1 - 5 and the game crashes a lot accept from that brilliant

The PC controls were terrible. Can't get past 1-5 either. Music is cool, but the movement was terrible for a game like this.

Saw your comment, thought I'd try your game. I love difficult games where you can quickly respawn, loads of fun, I got to level 8 before "giving up" (Don't you worry, I'll keep trying until I complete it!) and quickly deciding this was my favourite game so far :D However, the music was kind of irritating after a while, and sounds VERY familiar to "Better Off Alone" by Alice Deejay... Hmmm...
Thanks for all the awesome comments and @Animated once you finish a level the timer switches to show you the time you did it in. Green = fast | Orange = okay | Red = just in time. Should have explained I've amended game description.
Very cool graphic style, kinda hard to control on an AZERTY keyboard (WASD is awful on those), and did not know about Shift. The music was also quickly irritating, unfortunately. But all in all, good variety in the level design and good job!
Great game, i think the difficulty was perfect, one thing i thought was that the red dot was too small. And the music i'm 99% sure i have heard that tune somewhere else.
Really nice game. Difficulty is very well balanced. I think some people get stuck on 1-5, because it is not so clear that you can highjump. Also, the keyboard controls are a bit tedious. But I really enjoyed this game. Good job!

Thanks for the awesome comments. Seems your one of the first to get that far my man.
Theres a few bugs on the stage changing logic that makes the game though :s
And:
FATAL ERROR in
action number 1
of Keyboard Event for D-key Key
for object obj_keyboard:
Push :: Execution Error - Variable Get 17.playing(100003, 0)
at gml_Object_obj_keyboard_Keyboard_68 (line -1) - <unknown source line>
this pops up when i'm in level selection and using a or d instead of arrows.
red enemies against a green background are not good for the colourblind. I gave up after 30 attempts of world 2-3.

But I really enjoyed this game. Good job!
