Hey, Crafting4U here, and this is Super Mega Ultimate Game of Minigames, by me! The objective is simple: get the highest score possible, without dying.
How this works, is that there are 6 different minigames, and one will get randomly picked for you to play. You must complete an objective, or survive until time runs out. When a minigame is running, some text at the top of the screen will say what you need to do.
First off, I want to mention that this is my *second* game I made during this dare. The first one was just too complex to figure out, and I had to scratch that halfway through the compo. That game me only 20-21 hours to make another, completed game, and I am VERY happy of what I have made in that time.
I'm also only 12 years old, and programming in a game jam this early in life i reckon is great!
I have noticed one bug with the 'lava wave' minigame (that I couldn't be stuffed fixing), but don't worry; it's not a game killing bug. There is also a rare chance that audio playback will be delayed for a while. You might notice some other bugs too.
By the way, you need java to run this game. If you don't have it, you can download it at http://www.java.com/en/
Thanks for taking your time to read this long description, and please rate the game honestly! :D
EDIT To realise if the tiles are disappearing, the tiles will start to fade away.
Very cute and loveable game. A multiplayer version of this would be amazing. At first it was hard to read what I was supposed to do when the game started, but after playing it a couple of times I got the hang of it. I can't stand the disappearing floor though! I see no way of dodging it :\ Other than that, I really liked your game!
Well done!! I wish I had started with game jams as early as you have :)
My main criticism is that a lot of the mini-games have too high an element of chance, for example it is impossible to pre-empt where the floor is going to disappear (where as the 'bombs' stage gives you some time to evade).
Good, standard minigame collection here. I think the time between minigames is a bit too long, I would be happy with 3 seconds (or instantly, even). Good to see you tackling these jams at an early age, it will make the difference.
Cool idea, but the game is really unbalanced. Some mini-games are very hard to complete. Also 10 seconds between them is too much :) 3 would be better for tempo.
Given your 12 this is amazing, great job! Wish i could have programmed this that young. :) In regards to gameplay i think it needs some balancing. 10 seconds between waves is a bit long, and first i was confused as to what was happening. I also agree with how random some of the minigames are, makes it pretty difficult. Still, great job on your first LD. :D
Well the game itself is too hard if you don't know the minigames before -- player will spend needed time to read the description and then he just dies. And one suspicious thing about your entry: Why don't you provided actual source codes? The ones you gave are result of decompilation!

Keep on in the thing!

10 seconds between minigames is a long time, especially as it makes you wait that at the start.
