markbilly Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 This is a little platformer I wrote as an experiment and a bit of fun.

rich Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Love the graphics Game was pretty hard though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidsneezes Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 The breadman looks epic. And the wall climbing is cool. Some of the bad guys started to glitch after i revived one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbilly Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Thanks Rich and Vidsneezes!Yes the game is supposed to have a steep learning curve but the idea is once you learn the particular level it should get easier.What sort of scores are you managing.Yeah the glitching is a pain, an artifact of my very lazily-written collision code! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudiOwens Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 What are the controls? I can move left and right with the arrow keys. Maybe it just doesn't work on my Chromebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudiOwens Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Just slid my had across the keyboard a few times to see if anything happened. Figured it out...Left arrow = move leftRight arrow = move rightX = jumpP = pause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbilly Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 The basic controls are described on the main menu screen...Did you enjoy it once you got it working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antonio Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Nice one!The top left guy gets stuck on the left side of the platform when falling to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbilly Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thanks for the kind words :-)I think it turns out that the enemies glitching is just me not setting their speed to zero when they are spawned.So should be a super easy fix. Will give it a try in the new year (!) and update the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AAG- Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 You probably already know this but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbilly Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Actually I wasn't aware, AAG. It's a pretty obvious pun, I'm sure loads of people have arrived at it. But I guess they won't even notice my little game anyway ;-) I have tried my fix for the enemies glitching, could people please play and tell me whether it still happens for them? Cheers.

NotionGames Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I could see something like this being very interesting if you added some simple combat mechanics, elements in later levels such as being able to hide in shadows, use smoke bombs to dissapear for a little bit and/or teleport to another portion of the screen, run along walls, etc. keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxingamer Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 This is suprisingly addictive.I worked out you can sit up here and collect some falling melons though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbilly Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Ahh, crafty! I'm in two minds whether to 'fix' that or not. I quite like the idea that, if you've got the patience, you can sit there and slowly get a higher score... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
