I didn't really feel compelled to play to the rhythm, but it was nice that elements in the environment reacted to it. One note: it feels a bit cheap that bumping into a ceiling results in death. Because the way the buildings are set up is very similar to canabalt, I expected it to respond in the same way. It's a small note really, but it was a little annoying during my playthrough.

It's not a hard game, but I feel like the flow's a bit off, it needs more telegraphing, something... I kept on trying to jump on the clouds at the beginning, because I didn't understand that the buildings were part of the level--and if there's bouncing clouds in the lower atmosphere, then Why Not?\r\rI like what you did with the music, though. It's really good music to run to, and I probably tried close to ten times to get past that one frustrating bit.

It's not endless, there are levels (but I only managed to make about 2\/3 of one). Jump to the beat, collect to the beat, watch clouds bounce to the beat, and see the colors change to the beat! I wish I had more time to make more levels, because it seems a little too short and I wish you guys could see more. The first and only level is about a minute long, but hopefully you'll have fun. You can probably notice that I didn't finish making the first level, but I'll post a link to the Post Compo version when it's complete.\r\n\r\nInstructions:) Space to Jump, P to Pause\r\n\r\nI would love to make a level based on a Song, that would be awesome.\r\n\r\nThe Entire Game is on Your One Computer Screen. (You can tell that I just said \"Forget about it\" to the theme)\r\n\r\nSorry for the big .zip folder, if anyone can tell me how to just give a simple .exe to distribute (Processing), that'd be awesome (for both of us).\r\n\r\n*Little Bug People Seem to be Having:) I didn't realize that you could jump before the level starts. People said that when they jumped, they got stuck in the floor and it was Game Over. Only way to fix that now is to say... Don't do that :)\r\n\r\nPeople have said that took a while for them to complete the first (and only) level. To me it was easy, but that's because I played through it probably a hundred times. So now I know that my levels shouldn't be super long. I thought that this level was too short but now I'll just leave it as it is. Thanks for the feedback guys, it helps!\r\n\r\nEnjoy! c:\r\n\r\n- http:\/\/ccolongames.com\/","title":"Moving Melody"}
