Flappy Geek by Geckoo1337

[raw]
made by Geckoo1337 for LD30 (JAM)
Flappy Geek is a side-scrolling game featuring 2D retro style graphics. The objective is to direct a Geek, named "Geckoo" which moves continuously to the right, between each pitfalls - the chronophages monsters of the web. If the player touches the sprites, it ends the game. Geckoo jumps each time the player taps the screen. When the screen is not tapped, Geckoo falls due to gravity. Please! Help him save his precious time ++

I am on Linux, and would love to play this game, but Unity Web Player is not yet for Linux :( So, can you distribute an executable for all platforms?

What's up with the strobe lights? That really hurt my eyes. Might want to put up an epilepsy warning.

This needs to be submited to the Jam not Compo All images, models, textures, music, and sound must be created during the 48 hours. You cannot use any pre-existing art of any kind, whether you created it or found it online.

The physics are good.

The background really irritated me.

This game is kind of humor, and it has nice music. Though I found the random background flicking makes me dizzy. Compared to original flappy bird, your game is much easier, I think the gravity scale is too low. I prefer harder and tighter control.

Thanks for your game, keep making more good games!

Nice work! The graphics and sounds are good! The flashing in the background is a bit distracting and hard on the eyes though.

Pretty accurate simulation of a game dev's life. Found myself playing longer than I should have.

Not sure how the commenting works here, but to address your comment on my game: All the assets including models were made in the 48 hours, and my internet died so I couldn't post the source at that time.

The source is up now if you want to confirm the timestamps. It is not "Ugly".

for an additional bit of fun you could show "YOU STRUGGLED TO ESCAPE THE WRATH OF LUDUMDARE" or "WIKIPEDIA ONCE AGAIN PULLED YOU INTO ITS DEPTHS" whenever you lose

Simple but efficient, i really like the "time saved" when you loose, it just lack of something specific when you die near a specific "time trap". It just lack of a Flappy Geek block inside the game! ;)

Pretty much an easier version of flappy bird, the idea sounds funny, but it needs some work. Removing the seizuretastic background would be nice :p
the music was good though *thumbs up*

Struggle to see the point of making a flappy bird clone for a game jam. Cool idea on making the internet your connected worlds, but again, no creativity in how this is shown.

Hope you had fun doing this and will make many more!

creative630@ In fact, I have created this entry in 48 hours compo, but some participants said that it's not possible because I used many company logo which haven't been made by me. It's true. I didn't have a lot of time during this week end. Finally I didn't respect the rules. It's a mistake. Next time I promise do better. Sorry for this disappointment.

Background changing colours and audio are quite annoying. Gameplay is exactly the same as the infamous flappy bird. I am sure you know you can do better than that. However, it is great you did that in 48 hours. Keep improving and look forward to the next ludum dare!
