Jumper by GhostID

[raw]
made by GhostID for LD26 (COMPO)
I decided to join the LudumDare26 late but somehow finished my game! Surprisingly it only took 7 hours! The game is called "Jumper". You are a potato trying to get across a level for no what so ever reason. There are 25 levels.

Level 5 is broken right? I can't do anything with level 5.

All levels are beatable. Trust me, I've played and won every level multiple times. XD Also my friend won the game without a single problem. Are you experiancing lag? My game does have this one glitch where if the framerate is lower than 60, the jump gets lower. It's weird .__.

Nice work for 7 hours! I like the creative level design, and taking advantage of clipping through the block to make solving the puzzles more challenging. At first when I heard that you had limited jumps, I wasn't sure how 'hard' a game of such design could be, but thankfully, it made me think about how I was going to solve it.
Great game for the theme! Good luck!

At first I was like: "this doesn't work!". And now I'm all: "this is so smart!". Best thing is, you feel smart for beating it. Maybe you should explain the glitch jumping, I had to read through the comments to get it.

Great game too buddy. :) I did learn a few things from this though.
1, fix bugs. Maybe make 5 less levels but use the time to fix BUGS!
2, a game engine doesn't need to be hard to make a heck of a good game.
3, you don't need 48 hours to make a full game. :)

So yeah, thanks for the review! :) Also that "advantage" was a glitch hehe... got to lazy to fix it. XD

Thanks for the reply! I was sure the clipping was unintentional, but again, I really love how you made it add to the game play. It made it unique and much more challenging of a puzzle.

Like I like to say, it's not a glitch, it's a FEATURE! :)
Turning glitches into features is the way to go when you don't have time. It's easier making a glitch have a purpose than to remove it. Besides, if I removed it, I think the game would of been much easier.

Windows only? Seems to work fine in Linux, I just had to download LWJGL.

Quite fun. I needed to look in the comments to see about jumping though the platforms (I was stuck at the beginning for quite some time).

@Tom 7, Yeah I've had a few people tell me it doesn't work. The bat file launches and closes right away right?

@DBRalir, yes it works on all OS's, I just didn't feel like making a mac and linux release.

@dalbinblue, Thanks! :) Yeah I kinda regret not putting a file in my zip telling people about that *feature*. I'll add it when I have spare time.
