Airship Climb (HTML5)

*

Hey, i've made simple climb game this time, idea is not new, but anyway, just want to make simple solid game.
I was hoping to do all what i want, but cut more than 50% stuff ( ships, coop, music, etc ).

Game:

- Collect fuel to "don't run out of climbing power". :blush:

- Get higher as possible. :sunglasses:
- Jump height is variable, depends on how long you pressing jump button
- Purple crystals are useless for now, i was thinking about buying ships using them, but run out of time. :neutral_face:

Controls:

- Left Mouse or Space to jump.

Tools used:

- Engine: Luxe
- Graphics: Krita, Inkscape
- Audio: Bfxf
- Editor: Sublime Text

*You can hack some game parameters (gravity, jump height, speed, spawn chances), check assets/settings.json. :nerd:
Be carefull, don't break the game ;)*

Interesting game. I would make the background a little more dynamic. First couple of seconds I didn't realize the balloon was going up, until I saw the power-ups. Overall funny game. Good Job !

Super!

Really solid game, although not the most original, it is a full and working complete game, great job.

Great game! My best was 70. I don't agree with the score going down as you fall after running out of energy. It's something you don't really have much control over and can cause large drops in score (like 20 in my case). But again, overall a very solid game

I love it! I like the interesting movement mechanic!

Well done! My two favorite kinds of Ludum Dare games are the ones that try something completely new/crazy and those that just pick a simple concept and build something that feels complete out of it. Yours does the latter quite well! I could definitely see something like this doing well on mobile platforms, particularly if you did implement your idea of buying upgrades. One suggestion for me, personally: I think these games do best and are the most addicting when the average play time of each attempt is a little lower. After going super high, it's not as compelling to try again right away when there isn't as much challenge until you get higher up. So maybe just add more hazards/enemies or make energy a little scarcer? Just my two cents. Again, great job!

Really like the simple and polished gameplay, everything was very clear and clean, nothing ambiguous.
