Here it is, the first time I've actually finished a game for Ludum Dare! It's not nearly as complete as I'd like it to be; I spent too much time stumbling over simple problems, and working on all the assets, and I wasn't nearly as focused as I'd have like to have been.

I would have liked to add some more collectibles and moving obstacles, as the game seems a little easy at the moment. With more time, I'd have added a little more polish, and I would've liked to have a go at making my own music. Instead, I've resorted to good ol' Kevin Macleod!

The game does have a scoring system, but no actual scoreboards, so perhaps there's something to think about implementing in the future.

Still, I got to be a dork and make a game literally based entirely on one screen (providing it doesn't glitch out!) and I'm just happy to have actually submitted something at all this time!

Yep. It's a one game on a screen ;) Really like it.

Fun game, you would think more of these type of games would show up in other games, like you enter a bar, and a little one screen game is there. You did allot with a little, in a short period of time. It was tough and fun.

Cute game, but it took some time for me to realize, that you can make doublejumps :D

Love how the character inadvertently rolls! Was that by mistake or design? Haha!

I like it. :) But it took me a while to figure out that I could double jump :P

Awesome theme implementation. I like how you did the double jump mechanic. Getting it at the peak isn't something I'm used to with double jump. The hero does seem unusually sticky.

IT's a cool idea and looks pretty awesome. I found it seems pretty random where the next platform comes out and so sometimes it isn't possible to move before you die. that's a bit of a bummer.

Sweet music.
Wakka26 Dec 2014, 17:34
good idea, but there are many situations where there is no way to jump on a platform
