I was about to play the game, but then my computer stopped me. It said that your digital signature has expired. The game can apparently run with unrestricted access. I don't full know what that means, but hopefully you will understand.
I ran over babies each time :)
@Aiji777 That's normal, you have to give LWJGL permission to run. Java Applets tend to be overly needy with permisssions, sorry about that.
@Bloated Hippo
haha :D I should have made it more clear that babies don't slow you down though and can be run over, the same with red wagons and trees.
It is very fun game, thanks =)
Why is a kid dreaming of driving a school bus off a cliff? Anyways, a bit charming but also very limited. Also sad at the lack of Brontosaurus in the actual game.
@RandomSpark :)
@AestheticGamer Interpret it as you will ;) Yeah, things got cut a lot around crunch time
Very fun game! I enjoyed it :D

I WILL follow my dreams.
I love the little motivational game over screens. This is the type of thing I stick as my default webpage. Good way to the start the day.
Also, the wolf is hilarious.

Simple and enjoyable :). The collision felt a bit off on the objects.
@AlexRose Hah I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
@Jhelle Thanks! Yeah, if the bus is moving too fast my shotty/quick collision code misses it. Also it only checks the front of the bus. I should have just done AABBs instead.

it was a little bit short, but the music kept the mood up. :)
@Mesene Thanks ^_^
@kunzbe I tried to find a balance between too short and too tedious for the casual LD voter to want to finish
Pretty funny seeing the bus jump over stuff :))
hehe southpark bus, babies... crocodiles :D Like it!
@whiteravens I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@psychomonster What could be better? Thanks :)
Cute, whimsical little game :)
Pretty fun and I like the message. I really liked the minimal children's art which seems apt as a tribute to an artist who worked in similar vein. Could have used more variety but as a game jam effort,nobody will complain on that.
Kinda fun. The biggest complaint I had is that it was too hard to build back up momentum because of the arc of the jump. I get that it's hard to make the jumps when you're going fast. That's how it should be, but it should be easier to get going again when you slow down, not harder.
@LizEngland Thanks ^_^
@lightnarcissus As you can imagine, there was more planned but it had to be cut haha :D I'm glad you liked what was in.
@negativeview I think I understand what you mean and I will take notes.
Alrighty! Trying to give honest feedback.
The graphics remind me of old PC games so it actually brings back good memories to me, even though it's probably going to be a problem for most people, I actually appreciated it.
At first, it was hard to understand what exactly was negative and positive but after a few games I did get it. The game ran very smoothly and I appreciated the fact that it was on a curve - so you get extra points on innovation from me.
I would've loved to see some more organic movement from the character, ie. to make the equations behind movement a bit less visible. Add randomness? Interpolation? Something :)
@LizEngland Thanks ^_^

Interesting, my comment was sent twice. Good game wordpress
@nddrylliog I definitely should have put better instructions, probably be biggest regret outside of not having the dinosaur in the actual game. And alright, thank you, I've been needing to put more randomness in my games for a while, it hasn't become part of my style yet. Now that someone has said it I will definitely try harder at that :) Thank you again for the comment!

Meh. Also the jumping needs a bit of work.

Cute, simple game. I like the subtheme you chose. But the difficulty seems a bit arbitrary.

Quite a funny little gem :)
Loved the tune, and nograts for the graphics really loved it!

Jumping felt a bit weird. Beat the game in the first try, perhaps it could be longer (randomly generated for best results?).

Great game! Love the art style and the sounds. Keep it up! :)
Follow you dreams... off a cliff. AWESOME!
