You have what appear to be much more than one of each block you can place, more than one block type and also more than one star to pick up. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I had some problem seeing straight in this game, some squares were blocked by raised platform and the jump is a bit hard to predict where it will land.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Still it is a really nice game."},{"author_name":"Polyganz","author_uid":"7317","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 2:00pm","epoch":1387461300,"text":"@Lucatis: The trails are simple Trail-Renderers with Particle Shaders with transparency ;)"},{"author_name":"dudsen","author_uid":"27029","time":"Dec 20, 2013 @ 9:29pm","epoch":1387574640,"text":"Nice and simple.

That's it.\r\nSuitable for ages 5 and up.\r\n\r\nSome more info:\r\n\r\nThe idea was to have a system the player can set up and then have it run without any interaction from the player. In terms with the theme \"You only get one\", the kitty has to find all the stars in one run. However the player is free to interact when the kitty isn't running. (Great huh?)\r\n\r\nEven more info (OMG):\r\n* There are four \"tools\" available: GoLeft, GoRight, Jump, Speed\r\n* There are no limits as to how many \"tools\" you can place\r\n* Running into a wall or off the level kills the kitty :(\r\n* Protip: on the later levels there are more then one stars\r\n* Protip: you can do tool chains for great effect\r\n\r\nHope you like it. Critics and comments welcome.\r\n\r\nPS: Sorry about the lack of levels, I had like a million ideas of what could be done but it took me way longer then expected to get the status quo working. (As always).\r\n\r\nTwitter: http:\/\/twitter.com\/Polyganz\r\nPortfolio: http:www.tobiasbaumann.net","title":"Space Kitty Race"}
