High Flyer[DEMO]

can't play game, instantly die too fast, then crashes due to dying so fast

@Skills641 sorry to hear that, will fix for the full version. Thanks!

Your youtube video of the game seems to be at a much more reasonable pace, the version I played was crazy fast.

Randomly crashed on me. It was really hard, as in I couldn't play for more than half a second (my game is running about 50 times faster than yours). Also, you have to go to your website to get the full version? Also, where's the source?

@Transmit this is definitely an issue then, I will fix this thanks!

@Longarmx I'm almost done with the full version, adds lost of cool stuff! :D I'll see if I can upload the source soon, thanks for playing :D

I died instantly and then got stuck in the roof with a crash error

Game was unplayable for me as well and moves way to quick.

@IsaacL.Balogh and @Jaloko You know I'll just fix the error now :) Thanks!

The game crash every time !

@Norfinel I'm working on a patch right now :)

Why you no Mac?

sorry @Andrew Adams , I will see if I can port it in the future :)

Can't play it! Too fast and instantly die at the beginning! You are allowed to change this kind of bug during the LD.

@pighead10 I understand :) the update is on my site, I didn't touch the LD entry download link :)

Great music, pretty innovative too!

@ChuiGum Thanks alot! :D You were able to play? :)

For others trying to play this game, spacebar fires a bullet to get through blue walls (you should mention that in the description). I liked it and wanted to play more but if I didn't finish a level fast enough the game would crash on me.

@Evil Scotsman glad you liked it! Alright I'll add it into the description, I have been trying to fix the memory leaks all day xD! when It's fixed you can find it on the website. See you around! :D

I think its not so good. Controls are weird and sound is way too loud and cant be made quieter. Im glad there is disable audio. UI was strange

Was a bit finicky, a little too fast at the start. Crashed after a few plays so I lost my progress =( Could be a good game if polished up a bit.

Kinda reminds me of flappy bird.
I wish the controls were abit sharper, like faster up and down movement. It's too slow right now
Also, it's really unforgiving; I can't blink or I die.
Also, The music is really cool.

I like it, it is hard, but it does crash a lot. I was able to get to the third level but crashes (about 5) are annoying.

This game is way too hard. I'm guessing you are going for flappy bird-like game, but this is still way too frustrating.

After a while The game does crash. It's at random times some I'm guessing it's probably a memory leak or premature deallocation issue. Specific error is 0x71002a95 referenced memory at 0x00000000. Memory could not be read.

@WebFreak001 I understand, thanks for playing anyway :)

@billknye Glad you liked it! All the wonderful polish and stuff is going into the full version! :D Hmm, maybe I will add a game speed option to the demo. Thanks for playing! :D

@Tom Snively Glad you like the game! :D The crash problem is being fixed as we speak, and I will update the demo once its fixed! Have a great day! :)

@dalbinblue I'm sorry that the game was too hard, I think I'll add a game speed setting so people can play at their own speed :D The memory leak bug fix is in action right now :D Hope you come back when it's fixed! Have a great day :D

Way too difficult, and after five or so failures the game crashed. Needs slowing down just a bit

@Vyteros I added a speed option :) You can find it on the site, I also finally fixed the memory leak so no more crashes! :D thanks!

Nice little game but it makes you rage when you fail close to the end. Also recommend you to show controls on the intro screen and to start player a little lower so you don't die immediately.

@commodoreKid thanks for playing :) Alright, I'll see if I can change the maps up a little for the full version. Thanks! :D

Nice little game, but...how have you managed to rate 315 games in this time?

@malf thanks! that's a good question! :D I wen't through the different categories and I look at the games. If I really like it I'll play it. I also didn't want to leave out the really nice graphics one's if I didn't want to play it, so I rated those on their graphics, etc; pretty much I took what I liked about it and rated it accordingly. Thanks!

@malf and I entered the compo so I had 24+ hours to play the other games! :D

@Miziziziz I'm glad you liked the game! :D I added speed settings so now you set set it to how you'd like! I'm glad you liked the music! :D Thanks!

I die in like 2 seconds every time.

Unfortunately kept dying instantly. The core concept seems a bit unoriginal as well unfortunately. Good job on finishing something though! It's just a shame about the current insta-death issue.

@ViliX sorry to hear that. You can adjust the speed with the speed setting at the start! Thanks for playing! :D

Interesting game. I included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/LbmZDYffwi8

Thanks @Jupiter_Hadley :D

Not too bad! It did run a bit fast for me, but it was playable!

@DrMelon thanks! I'm happy that we were able to play and enjoy :D, thanks a lot! :D

Part 9 take two - Now with sound - http://youtu.be/lmQkJ525PNo

@Jupiter_Hadley thanks! I left you a comment on your website when I noticed the problem. Can't wait to watch! :D

too hard for me,I died twice right at the end of level 2 in easy mode, that was as far as I could go. I think you should have some easier levels in the begining and then make the game gradually more challenging because the narrow channel in level 2 is really hard, and I had to quit not having played much of the game.

Challenging.

I played easy mode and runned well. Nice little game.

@Lokarunith Thanks for playing! I will see if I can make the levels a little easier. Thanks for your feedback! :D

@hb3p8 thanks! glad you liked it, thanks for playing! :D

@thecolorhacker thanks! the full version will have many more levels and some cool new stuff! :D Thanks for playing! :D

@Lokarunith level 2 is now easier! you can get the update on the site. Thanks!

Cool retro style game and I appreciated the difficulty settings with slowing down in hard parts. The music track is great.

@zeal thanks! I'm very glad you enjoy the game! :D The full version will be available soon! :D See you around! :D

cool game, I wish there were more game mechanics though :)

Nice game. Had to play it on easy though or I would instantly die.

@AtomicVikings thanks for reviewing the game! :D I watched the stream for a day, I added alot of features to the full version, will be out soon. Thanks! :D

@RagePaint Thanks! Yeah, the other modes are much harder. Thanks for playing!

Not very cool :/

The controls are really sensitive! In order to be able to play at all I had to choose option 4 at the beginning to set my own speed. Anything other than 1 was unplayable. Also, consider giving the player more headroom on the first level. I found that unless I'm really fast the click of the play button will register in the game and I will crash immediately into the ceiling. With a little work this could be a pretty fun game!

It's probably worth mentioning that hard mode is completely impossible (can't get started on medium either, just keep hitting that top wall). Most of the time when I start the game I instantly hit the top wall and die because I'm clicking the play button to start it. I was able to play through in easy mode, and the level design was quite well thought out. Nice work.

The music is really cool - however I noticed that it is from http://www.nosoapradio.us/! All content in the game must be your own and made within the 48 hours, so unfortunately the audio breaks the 48h compo rules... Apart from that, the game is pretty solid on easy mode.

Cool little game - would be pretty awesome to see this on mobile.

Hard, but nice music.

I think the game runs crazy fast, after clicking the play button all I hear is a crashing noise and back to the menu!

@ice cold muffin sorry you feel that way. Thanks for playing anyway.

@ninjascript thanks! All of that has been fixed now. It's available from the website if you would like to have the full game experience. Thanks for playing, and glad you liked it! :D

@varun thanks! I am currently working on getting it on iPhone. Hope it works out :D

@Tomker thanks!

@RHY3756547 Thanks I'm glad you liked it! On the website you can find an update to the game that makes it wait until you click the space bar before the game starts. So that means no more instant deaths! :D I was going to make this a Jam entry but I didn't see the option by the time I got around to it. I wrote jam entry at the top of the description. Thanks for playing! :D

@DaanVanYperen That has been fixed on the website. Thanks for playing! :D

Ridiculously hard even if you set the speed to something as low as 1 but still, pretty interesting game. Spaceship physics need some slight improving on (but still works) and the music was actually quite good.

@Xanjos I'm glad you liked it. Yes I noticed the top of the ship collision detecting is alittle off. Thanks for playing! :D

Seriously, that's way too hard, could barely finish level 3 on easy mode...

@dancingmad Glad you had fun! How was level 4? Maybe I'll add some easier levels :) Thanks for playing!

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

@CodeWhite I'm glad you liked it! :D

Pretty fun. It'd be nice if the movement were acceleration-based instead of just velocity.

@kirbytails7 Thanks! Alright, I'll see what I can do for future versions :) Thanks for playing! :D

Something seriously off with the speed. Even on custom (4) with a speed of 1 it's a click-fest that's like a bad PC port of flappy bird...I did like the music though.

@vividhelix that's why It is challenging! :D Glad you liked it and thanks :)

Way too difficult, and poor choice of controls.

good job!but so hard to play that in my opinion affects badly on player's experience about game.

@ra4king I understand, what would you of chosen for controls?

@Rehacked Thanks! I understand. If it's too hard you could set the speed to easy or 1. Thanks for playing.

▶ Game is hard.

Also, I agree with another poster's comment about your music source. It's against the rules to use music created by anyone else in the Jam, sorry.

@Mach60KAS I labeled it a Compo and didn't get to change it before changing time was closed. Sorry. Thanks for playing :D

I changed it to be a jam entry. You can always contact an admin on IRC to help in the future! :)

If the game was slower it would be better. Also I'm not quite sure how it relates to the theme. But the graphics were good, and I liked the music!

Thanks a lot @the31 :D Did you like the game? :)

@IamAcoconut Glad you liked it! You can change the speed to 1, It seems to be a popular speed setting :D It relates to the theme because you are in an alien ship on its way to Earth and you must get through the mazes to get off of the planet. Thanks for playing! :D

This is way too hard.

@Sogomn sorry you feel that way. :)

Loved the music! Game is really hard but I was able to stay alive for a bit haha. Good job!

Solid entry

@Snicklodocus Thanks! :D Glad you liked it! :D

@apiotrw Thanks! :D

There is now a full version of HighFlyer with a bigger version in development! :) You can find the current version here: http://gamegrape-studios.itch.io/high-flyer .
