Super Marathoner Pro by jomomomo

[raw]
made by jomomomo for LD29 (JAM)
Had planned to create something a little different, but ran out of time this weekend and ended up with this unfinished game.

Experience the thrill of running a Marathon from your keyboard or mobile device by tapping the highlighted key.

Still missing:
* Multiple layers of buildings to help show progress around the city.
* Display start / finish line
* Wait to start until gun is fired
* Players can collect coins as they run
* Players can turn coins into subway tokens to take shortcuts to get to the end of the race quicker (you know, "Beneath the Surface", eh)
* Players can buy additional coins with real money.
* Sweet sweet running soundtrack
* The sound of someone struggling to run.
* A nice virtual 26.2 sticker for anyone who completes the game.

Will attempt to post android apk later once I get that working.

Cheers!

Ouch, my fingers! I managed to get up to about 13 speed at one point, but I really started to feel it quickly. Marathon indeed!

Good attempt, not sure how it relates to the theme though.

Doesn't fit the theme at all. Fun, but totally not in key with what this LD was about though.

I liked your sprite artwork, and the game certainly felt like a marathon to play!

Horrible controls, would work better with controls for two hands. Also, web link is more a download link.

Pretty fun, stressful on the hand though! also beneath the surface?

I was expecting something a little more QWOP-y, so on the one hand, it was nice that you could run so easily, but on the other hand, hitting that sequence over and over again got tiring pretty quickly. As it stands, there's not much motivation to push past that and finish the marathon. I'd like to play this again when it's more fleshed out with the other features you mentioned.
