fun simple game. Liked the "try to land or gamble for another level" mechanic. Starts off a little too difficult, getting that first landing took 6-7 tries.

Awesome work. I enjoyed the background gradient way more than I should have.
Man this game made me very angry(that's good, the Battletoads kind of angry you keep trying)! I just had to retry until I landed! Good job!
Nice job. Our game went for the 'one parachute' theme too, but yours has much better pace to it. :D
Great game after you get used to the controls.
I don't know if I'm just tired or if this is scrolling a bit fast, but it kindof hurts my eyes.. Controls feel really good though!
I couldn't play it, It's missing a dll (MSVCR110). Perhaps I should have visual studio installed, but it should be an way to have the dll inside the game folder.
Through the video the game seems nice tough.
@joserodolfofreitas That dll is the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012. You don't need VS installed, just the redistributable

I think you might get tagged with this? I'm not sure how the comment system works. I'll also try to message this somehow.
Hey, now I've played(and rated) and can say that the game is potentially fun. The bouncing on the "walls" was a little bit weird though, but the difficult was well balanced and could be easily transformed on a mobile game that is played with the accelerometer.
The c++ implementation might have some problems though. It was consuming a lot of CPU and it reached 215mb or ram consumption.
I would also suggest(if you plan to go ahead with the game) to add other features, like handling wind and adding a landing mechanic.
If you’re interested, I built a Linux binary you can get here: http://people.zoy.org/~sam/tmp/DontDeployYourChute.tar.gz
I also added a Makefile and fixed a few include issues in the code so that you just need to type "make" to rebuild it.
Hard as hell but I kept me coming back to try again. Music got irritating fast though.
