Ostrich: Just In Time

Coolness★★★★★★★★★★20%
A time rift has caused the past and future to become intertwined with the present. Only Ostrich can save the day.

NOTES ON SOUND:
Music can be turned off if you click the game and scroll down; it is hidden for some reason.

Sound will not work in IE because it doesn't support OGG

Very interesting. I couldn't get my controls to lock in on the window inside the browser, so every time I jumped, the whole page moved up? That's probably just my bad though. Very cool premise and a lot of fun.

All hail the OSTRICH. Anywayz, funny game. Though the biggest problem is when i press up or space, the window scrolls down or up. It gets annoying but the game is pretty fun :D

Whoever makes it further than the first couple obstacles deserves an award.

Hi everyone, thanks for playing our game.

If I find the time, I will put some event.preventDefaults() in the code to prevent all the scrolling issues people are having. I did not consider how it would play different on GameJolt than just as its own page.

So ostriches are really a fad now in games? Good going and fun too!

I got the same issue with controls where it moves the whole page when I press up key. Nice game.

Nice.
You should stop the key event from reaching the page, everytime the ostrich jumps the browser scrolls vertically.

It kept losing focus as I jumped, making it very tricky to play. Unless you are intending both the keyboard and mouse to be used at once.
