Basketball Flight

Basketball Flight

This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive
(may not load correctly).
coolness: 0.20
EDIT: Fixed the framerate issue.

Controls: arrow keys, Z, X (hold and release). ESC exits, R restarts.

In this game I experimented with a mechanically unconventional weapon: a ball that you can throw, and jump on top of.

Most of my time was taken trying to get the physics of the main mechanic working, so the game is very unfinished. Also, it turns out slopes in a platformer are the most complex thing in existence. There are still some bugs in the game.

I also learned you should know your tools. I hadn't used mine for a very long time, and it shows. A lot of time was wasted on spaghetti.

Idea and programming by me. Art and audio by friends.
