This is our first time participating in Ludum Dare. We are still learning gamedevs. The game didn't turn out to be as we planned. Just give it a try.

Rules:
You have to finish the level in the given time and with given health.
Press 'Space' to jump & 'C' to crouch.
Boxes which are not white increases your time if you hit them.
Boxes which are white decreases your health if you hit them.

Haha, reminds me lack of the internet in Chrome ;) It's quite tricky, but colors could me a little bit more different and jump time much shorter

It never does, but that's part of the fun!

I'm not sure it was intentional, but the fact that if you press the crouch button while jumping you have to repress it after you land, rather than being able to hold it messed me up so many times!

it is the first step that is difficult

@chaczyk the idea was taken from Chrome really. Actually we tried to make the game mechanics interesting. that's why we didn't have time to think of the color

@sauski it was intentional. I disabled crouching while jumping.

Congrats on getting into game programming. This has some good components - multiple controls, interface, etc. Sometimes the game is impossible to win because of the sequence of obstacles you are given. Also, I seemed to just "fail" after a while even if I had health remaining. Not sure what that was about. I played >10 times and never won, just died from running out of health, or just at random.

@dob Thanks for pointing out the problems. I didn't have a better knowledge about obstacle positioning. I just spawned them randomly up and down. and I'll check out the 'fail even though health remaining' problem.
