Theme Idea

This is the first theme that didn't really appeal to me and I struggeled to come up with an idea. Some genres directly conflict with each other resulting in a completely unplayable game and if they dont and the game is playable they aren't really incompatible to me. Anyway, I experimented with a turn based platformer, where I let the physics run for a second and then accepted the next input, but that just felt really akward when the frog stopped in the middle of the air, completly removing the need for any platforms at all. So I removed the 1 second limitation and waited for the frog to get a complete stop before accepting the next input.

Comments

Actually I messed up and thought LD was next weekend and was kinda surprised when I noticed it starting Friday afternoon and I already had some plans this weekend, therefore I went with html5 again due to slightly faster development times compared to c++ ( no setting up visual projects , no compiling, no need for any release builds and making sure they work ). Plus I can join the compo with html5 ( which I cannot do with C++ because I dont want to release my engine and libs source code atm ).
