You are a cool white-hat-guy, you want to be in the camera, MOONWALKING AND BEING COOL, all while making a nice journey!

I'm sick, I'll put more text here later.

Because I was sick this isn't great...

But still fun!

// now lets put some more.

I find it interesting to see what you made while you were sick.

The glitches are there at the end of each level. Just wait, it should resolve itself(however, after a day, give up xD)

This is a one key game, in the sense of the keyboard(Yes, you can confuse that with the only key you can get each level...)

I realised I made some weird/chaotic music... side effect of being sick...(I can do better. Not sure? check my last LD entry),and also, even though you are supposed to get only one power-up per level(not counting J boxes, which increase your jump power) , it can happen that you don't get one.In that case, you are probably screwed.(Indeed.)

Technical best possible score:

100*6(coins)+100*3(Levels)+4*50(J-boxes)=1100 points.

Edit: Just corrected a typo: I had replaced a 25 by a 40.

This is allowed according to the compo rules.

Also, found one huge mistake, but correcting that would be against the rules(it's something like 100 lines)

Link broke. Well, not the link, but the link inside the link. Go fix it!

*joppiesaus: Fixed!

That was weird but good.

It took me a while until I figured how this game works. The jump is kinda unintuitive. The charakter looks funny.

*d_Oo_d: Yes, when one is ill, one does weird things...

mood 5 stars, audio 5 stars, but WTF did I just play??

That was surreal. The backgrounds were really cool.

What I see is that the window first appears small then big. I guess it makes this check when the window is still small or something?

*tiffy, a game made by someone who was sick xD
Seriously, I don't know how it ended up like this!
*HeyChinaski Thanks!
That's because I made it the first day, not the one where I was sick.
*miwuc I got an idea of what it might be: does your computer have a small screen?

Nelien19 Dec 2013, 14:16

Woa... Trippy... But great fun! Crazy person...

Riilu20 Dec 2013, 22:31

A very "interesting" game to say the least. Enjoyed it even though it being rather strange.

Nichii22 Dec 2013, 07:34

I think I just smoked weed while playing this game, sorry.

Benjamin22 Dec 2013, 23:09

Ok Ludumdare really need a trippy category to do justice to those kind of game. Until then I will consider it as a subcategory of mood and I'm sure giving you five star for the effort.
The music is incredible, and I like this glitchy shoot animation.
My best score is 650.

multikorv29 Dec 2013, 00:58

Flummigt.. I like it actually! :)

StMatn29 Dec 2013, 22:03

Nice graphics style ^^
The music is quite fitting :)
Nice work!
