My first ever solo Ludum Dare AND solo game! I've only ever done this once before, but with an experienced friend. I decided to learn Apple's SpriteKit over the weekend, so that's what I did the challenge with! It's an extremely basic reaction game inspired by games like Flappy Bird and BitTrip Runner. Feel free to give me suggestions on how to advance this game in the future! These are my favorite types of games to challenge friends to or to have something to play that can be really quick (also sometimes addictive!).
Hum ... I really want to test it, but I do not know how to transfer it on my phone ... It seems that the files you gave are just code sources. Do I have to have a Mac ?

Yeah, unfortunately you'll need a mac with xcode on it to make things work :(
Connects to the theme, but the graphics are boring and the gameplay is basic. I see the connection to flappy bird like games but I feel that you should have spent some more time on the graphics. As a fellow solo LD'er and this as my first LD as well, I know it is difficult to manage time so I suggest doing more Jams or game making competetions to get better at it.

@jack-maxwell, thanks for the feedback! I very much intend to participate in these and possibly other competitions in the future. I agree, this is a very boring game. SpriteKit has a lot of features allowing to build/add things quickly. Now that I'm more familiar with that, I expect my future entries to get a bit more polish.
