SpeedyPups, a game I've been working on for 2 years

This looks really great on both the artistic direction and gameplay! Even though there are a lot of borrowed platformer ideas (flappybird mechanic as a power-up, Donkey Kong barrels, Sonic style maps, etc.), this looks like a clever integration of all those ideas.

Fake upvotes and comments are a bad idea on Hacker News. They will probably get your post demoted and your and your friends' accounts penalized. It sucks to see people sink their own hard work with these tactics. Please, everybody, just let your work speak for itself. We took the penalty off the post in this case because we want to see original work on HN.

How can you determine when friends and family are upvoting posts?

It's like Sonic but without the wangst or silly human-hedgehog snogging scenes. Count me in!
