In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players." So, basically I only applied changes to the controls without touching anything else. The controls are now smooth and you can actually control your jump speed now.\r\rPlease understand that this is a whole 3d game engine with physics, collisions, map file structure, geometry loading, webgl and webaudio interface to worry about, so I had no time to fix all the glitches, or even make a decent game map. I apologize for these inconveniences. This is a lot of work as is, trust me. (And yes, that soundtrack recording and mastering was also done by me, with some initial technical difficulties.) I took it easy on Monday, and still am exhausted."},{"author_name":"Bogden","author_uid":"31759","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 8:58pm","epoch":1472503980,"text":"Hmm, is there only 1 level? The intro is a good start, but there feels like a lot lacking.\r\rThe controls are a bit difficult to maneuver around, and the physics around moving feel more suited to a vehicle than walking around. Not being able to accelerate while in mid air is little odd for this type of game.\r\rGlad you hit on bits of audio and graphics for a compo entry though. Always good to see that. For short compos like this though, I would recommend aiming for simple game experiences that you think you can implement in 48 hours. As it is, it doesn't feel like much of a "game" with the amount of content it has.\r\rIt's pretty impressive for being done in WebGL in only 48 hours, but there's nothing wrong with using game dev tools like Unity or Game Maker to do things quickly!"},{"author_name":"wheerd","author_uid":"92309","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 9:09pm","epoch":1472504640,"text":"Not sure if I got the version with the improved controls, but I still didn't manage to complete the first level :\/"},{"author_name":"jakatpemadi","author_uid":"111929","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 9:10pm","epoch":1472504700,"text":"Hmm...

The source contains the original zipped version for historical reference.\r\n\r\nAug 31, 2016: I really appreciate all the comments so far: what amazes me is how much seemingly small technical details such as \"air control\" are more important to players than fancy graphics. This gives me some ideas about where to go from here, how to and how to better structure the learning curve throughout maps to make it as fun to new players as those who have decade of experience with this type of games...\r\n\r\nSpecial thanks to the video reviewers. They give me an invaluable insight into the user experience. For example, Daniel aka SirPhoenixGaming seemed to have hard time struggling with controls, while Jupiter_Hadley seemingly skipped through it super fast, I'm so impressed.\r\nhttps:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/sirphoenixgaming\/v\/86519298?t=35m12s\r\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/hC8B45eG0n0?t=12m9s","title":"Starwalker"}
