2013-08-25 11:29

gvmakesgames 2013-08-25 13:25

You're good guys, I got to 12 and I just ragequitted... my own game xD

gvmakesgames 2013-08-25 13:27

Well, the max is 100. You'll marry the ten girls/boys of your life legally if you get to 100 ;) jk

I made it to 12. Barely lol I like the music. :)

ciaran54 2013-08-26 01:59

Nice! I like the glowing graphics and the music ;)

gvmakesgames 2013-08-26 13:10

Thanks! The music is generated with cgMusic, and converted in that 8 bit style with GXscc ;)

"Failed to load 3D Mode" error when trying to restart

gvmakesgames 2013-08-27 11:37

Try to update your drivers ;)

Interesting and short game. The mouse sensitivity was too low for the kind of game it was, you should be able to look around you faster.

Looks and sound are nice, but the controls, urghh...
More than once I fell off although I was pressing Space to jump.

Nice minimalistic graphics, music and simple but working concept. Missing some easing (= acceleration and inertia) in movements though.

gvmakesgames 2013-09-02 11:32

Yeah, I was planning to add them, but I had problems, and was too late. So I have only this :C

brejlounek 2013-09-02 16:20

Meeeh... Graphics is a little glitchy, and jumping should be possible while holding down W key. It is very hard for me this way, got to 5th or so plane.

tegu 2013-09-02 18:28

Highly addictive game! Spent enormous amount of time trying to get higher and higher. At first the controls and plane collisions felt very weird and off, but after a while I got used to them and slowly learned how to get to plane 12 pretty much every time.

Then I wondered how it's even possible to get any further until I realized a nice little glitch with which I could get slightly higher. It needs some practicing and still requires perfect jumping and some luck with map generating. I just got sucked in to try to trickjump better and better.

The process reminded me a bit of learning how to strafejump etc in Quake and Warsow. It just is so addictive and learning feels so rewarding (well, maybe not so much in this game as in Warsow but still).

Anyhow, I finally managed to reach level 16 and ahh it feels good. Here's a shot: http://i.imgur.com/ediicAx.png Now I'm waiting for people to break that. :)

gvmakesgames 2013-09-03 14:35

Tegu, is that the glitch when holding space and "touching" a platform next to the one you're on? It makes you jump again without having finished the previous jump, and it's like making two jumps in one ;) but yeah, you did 16? well done ;)

gvmakesgames 2013-09-03 14:38

Oh and I tweeted about it, that's a record ;) https://twitter.com/GVmakesGames

Srry dude couldn't give you a high score but pretty nice game for the 48 entry :D

zconnelly13 2013-09-03 16:01

pretty good idea, pretty good execution, nice sound :p

Can't play windows games. :-(

tegu 2013-09-04 10:07

GVmakesGames: Yeah, exactly that glitch. And if the map is suitable, it's also possible to make more than a double jump. Also: http://i.imgur.com/a7JWAox.png (Tried to record with Fraps but the game kept crashing as soon as I started recording.)

gvmakesgames 2013-09-04 12:00

I think it's some problem with how Game Maker draws in 3D. Using a normal projection the game can be recorded, but using an extended projection to change the fov (as I've done for this game) appears to crash it. And now, I'll add a classific :D

x-or 2013-09-10 11:10

Oh man, my highest is only 10... no need to be proud of that, I assume.
Music is nice, but detuned too much for my taste and a bit too many rhythm issues.
As simple as they might seem, I like your neon platforms :P
Btw - is the player supposed to move faster diagonally? Maybe I only imagined it, but I could swear I could jump over a further distance that way ^_^
If you ever update/continue this.... maybe give a short overview of the map beforehand, rather than starting the game in the splitsecond you reach for the restart button ;)

Nice little game I love it :)

galman 2013-09-10 20:10

Cool game with cool mechanics, graphics and sounds! The only "problem" is that the control are a bit hard and made me rage quit :P

gvmakesgames 2013-09-12 12:18

I know, the controls are the "bad" of this game :P I'll try to make a fixed version, if I have enough free time, but I can't upload it to the compo: rules and sheez.

mlinus 2013-09-12 16:36

As someone who always play with invert mouse I got quite confused playing this. :D
