This game is awesome. I love the "yeeah" at the end of a section.

#132I'm a hobby/hopefully someday profitable game developer who recently jumped on the "develop a short game in X days" bandwagon. My most recently made game was developed in 2 days [ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ektomarch.... ], and damn did it feel good to get something done that fast! My current plan is to make a bite-sized game comparable to this at least once a month (it'd be a little stressful…
So a game that took you two days to make and sells for .99? Do you mind sharing what kind of revenue it makes?

Coins? Levels? I can't jump out of the first hole.
Jump first on the left, then from there jump on the right. And you'll discover the hole game!
Once on the ledge to the left, need to press up and right arrow at the same time to jump to the higher ledge on the right.

#134That's so good for a day. I made a similar game a while ago that took a few weeks! http://platformpixels.com/
I would be interested to know what you used for collision detection (If anything).

#135Not sure if you're looking for critique, and giving critique has sometimes been discouraged on HN, but: It's pretty good for a week of work. Though there's a difference between being challenging and being annoying. Many of the level design elements could be classified as a "dick move." An example would be not making it clear the goal is to collect all the coins until after the player has bypassed some of them and rea…
Thanks, I love feedback! You make some interesting points. About input lag, I'm a bit surprised. On my computer the input is super responsive. Maybe it depends on the OS/browser? I'll have to look into this. Gravity could definitely be better. I'll look at Cave Story then. I have only 5 short levels, so adding checkpoint will make the game too easy I think.
I have input lag on Firefox, Linux. Well, maybe lag isn't the word, but it's definitely not responsive (meaning I did notice that being annoying before seeing comments about that).

I'd be lucky to even recuperate the $25 registration fee for Google Play. I put all my time into making games and zero time marketing them--if I flipped that around, maybe I could actually make a few dollars. :)
Putting out an ad-sponsored version might help, but I've been too busy with other projects to bother.

#137I have been trying to write a small game. But after having seen this. Holy Cow! It's so minimally(don't know if that counts as an adjective) Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, it's a bad idea to charge for a game which isn't too amazing to resist. You are much better off financially with ads.

#139That was awesome. I finished it. I died 92 times.
The jumping mechanics reminded me of "air control" in strafe jumping in Quake 2. Can you tell I haven't played games much lately?
Love the music. I have had the tab opened for a few minutes now that I'm done playing just listening to it loop through.

#140OP here. Let me know if you have any questions about my project.
Why a week? I'm trying the "one game a month" challenge and I find it very difficult for one single reason: cut out things so it's possible to finish the game in a month!
Do you think it would be harder if you had more time per game?
