Around the Worlds in 80 seconds. by Vinyl Pixels
Tap to advance! Use Left / Right Arrows, Shifts or Alts.
Collect coins, jump to parallel universes. You have 80 seconds to beat the highscore! Collecting a clock gives you additional 2 seconds.
There are two combo systems:
-for the length of the unbroken chain of coins collected
-the number of taps in the last second. Be fast, be precise, don't die.
All worlds have the same layout of coins, differing in obstacles and portals. Level is the same every time you run the game, so you can memorize your paths.
Pressing 1,2,3,4 instead of Enter, gives you a secret "No Portals Mode" in the first four worlds. Press "Escape" to force a Game Over.
Worlds description:
Lava:
Coins worth more points, one mistake and you're dead.
Radioactive:
You can only spend 11 seconds there during the entire game! Coins worth a lot more points.
Moon:
No Oxygen! You can only be there 8 seconds at a time. Coins worth a lot more points. Slightly more obstacles.
Heaven.
Hey! No obstacles! Coins worth very little. A lot more Portals to other worlds.

I think the best part is how skill can come into play: there's something for both the casual player and the one looking to top those currently non-existent leaderboards.
Hmm, there is an audio countdown on the Radioactive and Moon levels. I went with audio, because I felt that when you are focused on gameplay, any visual timer would be a distraction.
And the level is actually random, with the same seed for everyone - so no work on design here :) But it generated a few nice spots ;) Fox example, at some point there are 3 clocks close to each other on the Lava world :) Technically the levels are 2048 cells in length (don't remembed the exact number)? But you have only 80 seconds with additional clocks being very scarce, so no one should be able to get to the end of the worlds ;)
I managed to score 45588 with a distance of 338 and a chain of 331 - No idea if that is good, but I had fun doing it :-)
Nice work!
Well done
Also, top marks for humour based on the teleporting sound along - laughed out loud the first time I heard it ;)
