Don't Stop by AndreasL

[raw]
made by AndreasL for LD31 (COMPO)
Don't stop (that's the best title I could come up with) Is a single-screen platformer where you jump from platform to platform to collect coins and avoid turrets and spikes.

(Spikes and turrets only spawn on platforms you 'stole' a coin from)

[X]or[^] to jump and double jump

Arrow keys [<][>] to move

Sound effects created with SFXR.

its simple- but is unexpectedly difficult. i really like the art style too, its fitting. plus, the little expressions on the player are great :P

From the title to the level design it is a really nicely packaged game. As the player you immediately learn that collecting the "balls" guide you to dodge the different obstacles while also giving the items a purpose (unlike other games). Very nicely done!

Sharp graphics, and really fun to play. It's difficult but not frustrating, and it's very addictive - I just had to keep giving it 'one more go!'

If you wanted to give the player more warning, you could try making the platform flash before it spawns turret/spikes appear - but I think it's perfectly fair as is, being as you're told that the white platforms are dangerous.

It's hard! I like that the random hazards appear when you stand for too long.

Great game man! One of the best I played so far! :D
(You should try to port this on a mobile device with the accelerometer, it would be really legen... wait for it... DARY!)

Platforms could be a little faster but it's still a very addictive game and great job in trying to restrict everything to one screen.

Fun and relentless game! My only suggestion is to make the reload level animation faster so you don't have to wait as long to retry (almost like Super Hexagon where it's so instantaneous people just simple keep clicking retry)

Cool! it's a interesting idea! I think the movements should be faster and the jump feeling can be better!

You should work move in the juiceness of the game, and the game will be really fun to play. Good job though! :)

Starting platforms should come out a lot faster. Or at least an indication of where they might be. I died many times at the start jumping off and expecting something to happen.

You could even spawn the first platform when the room starts.

Nice design though. Just needs some tweaks and polish.

Hi there. Nice presentation and physics. Found the game quite harsh. Lots of replaying to get anywhere. Like the way the blocks change over time, that's pretty clever. Good job!

Very nice game, reminded me a little bit on frogger. Graphics are simple, but awesome (the blinking face is great :D) As well as sound.
Nothing to complain here!

Not a bad game, but there are a couple of bugs … Potentially game breaking, they kind of put me off playing this otherwise fun game.

The audio and graphics work very well for this game. The platforms sometimes don't spawn in a way that makes it possible to progress.

There was also one time that I hung onto the side of a platform.

Great work.
