Record store day is finally here. It just so happens to be the last day you can pay your rent before you're evicted as well, so instead of finding fresh vinyl for yourself, you must 'deliver' vinyl to everybody in town! Keep your energy up, and keep spinnin' those records.

How this was made:
Haxeflixel
Pickle
GarageBand
Audacity
IntelliJ IDEA 14
Tiled
Bfxr
Photoshop CS6

It might just be me but the controls are weird ... i cant seem to move half the time or it is delayed ... or something. and i cant reach the tops of the ladders

Great little game. Perfect effort for LD. Once I got the hang of the controls (I'm not a huge fan of using Z for anything) I was able to pretty much go non-stop until I started double jumping to make things easier and then I was out of energy fairly quickly. Overall I enjoyed myself. Great job!

Thanks for your response! I don't know whats's up with the first part of what you had to say, but I do know that you must jump (space) off of the ladders.

Okay now I will be giving context to whom I am commenting towards. The first response of mine was for @togie.

@breadstix - Thank you very much! (Hint: you caught onto a key aspect of gameplay with the recognition of jumping altering energy reduction)

Flash crashed on me about 2 minutes in :(

Really fun though, I really like it.

@Havacore probably not collecting enough garbage, sorry!

A nice game! Controls nice for me (ladders are slightly weird, is this a valve game?) Pretty addictive though! How much is rent?!

Interesting and fun to play for a bit longer than many others I've tried tonight. Controls are a bit off and sometimes stick. Interesting enough, though.

Good use of the theme and really great graphics! The idea of throwing a vinyl record to make money is kinda funny and goofy. Good job!

Game looks nice and chunky, and the controls feel fine, though the ladders are a little awkward.

Only issue is the lack of any real set goal or increasing difficulty or something to raise the stakes over time, kinda just becomes repetitive.

Goofy! The controls seem off, its not a comfortable position. Otherwise, straight forward!

Not bad. The controls didn't bother me. Also I had no idea there was a double-jump till someone commented it. Overall, nice job!

Nice little game, but the ladders are a bit misleading. For a minute or two I was trying to climb them pressing the up arrow until I figured out that there's double jump. :D

Nice graphics and music! Took me a while that I am actually shooting the vinyls :)

Overall, pretty fun. Personally I felt it got a bit boring after a while, but that's just me. Good work!

$3410. Most I've played any game yet, but I've maxed out the potential for this level. Music is fun and very old school arcade. Agreed that controls are awkward, and on my laptop those arrow keys are the right size for a gerbil. The tall ladder is too hard to align for the climb and I kept getting stuck part way up. Overall though, great job for an LD and potential if you want to continue on with it.

Nice little game - simple but fun. The music got a little repetitive but that's my only gripe. I loved the crunchy SFX.
