Story/Writing/Dialogue Mechanics

Hey there. It's a good first step for the prototype. If you wish to imporve it the following aspects can be addressed:

Visual:
- improved "skinning" for the character and the environment. There are many cute asset packs around to get you started.
- animations on the character and preferably on the surrounding objects.
- some "juicing" will help - like dust clouds on landing, visual special effect on a coin grab, death etc.

Game Mechanics:
- progression could be faster. It's quite boring to wait while a coin is approaching me each time for a whole screen length.
- the jump height could be regulated by the time you hold a button. This way it would be much easier to grab tricky coins. Currently controls feel very rigid.

Keep it going!

Game idea is cool, but i think you should work on collision with spikes. I didnt touch spike, but it sait it is gameover

future-games 5 months ago

Thank you. I will admit that my collision detection is not great, but I will work on it.

Controls

It's a nice simple game. I like the fact that you control it with just a button.
Some issues:

1) The collision system needs improvements, but I see that you will work on it :)
2) If I lose, the number of coins is not resenting. I don't know if that's your intention or if it's a bug.
3) The score right now is the time. I would suggest to change it in the number of collected coins :)

future-games 5 months ago

Thank you! I will try to work on bugs, but soon, with score multipliers that you get by completing objectives, I don’t think score being coins would work. :)!

Sometimes what happens is, while I'm running it randomly says I died when I touch a spike. But, great game!

Thank you! Please give me a complete description of the bug so I can try to fix it.

OS are you using?

Yeah, I am on Mac, so I don't know why that is happening. You could see if any other Windows users are having his problem, and tell me the answers.

It could use some fancy new sprites.
I am still wondering what the yellow block is coming out of the right side of the screen. Further play is needed.
I personally don't like getting browser popups, id rather see it all in-game.
Not a bad start though. Keep up the good work.

future-games 5 months ago

Thank you! Actually, that yellow block is the sun, it was in the original and I forgot to delete it.

Simple game but I spent few minutes on it jumping :)) Clearly is catchy. I would make levels more "appealing" so you don't get bored of same repetitive run.

Hello,

a cool game idea.

Im missing some varation in the level. Also it is getting a little bit to slow harder. Maybe also the player animation looks like sliding not like running.

But good so far.

Thanks, I'm working on version 3.0
