Flipcrusher by Avant-Marde

[raw]
made by Avant-Marde for LD26 (JAM)
GAMESPOT PLAYED THIS ON INDIE HOUR. :D Watch at 36 minutes into the clip:
http://www.gamespot.com/shows/indie-hour/

You play as the captain of a spaceship and you are just about to find what you have been seeking for so long. The source of the mastery of space.

Unfortunately we only had time to make two levels! The physics for the first one took almost a day (12 hours) alone.

Wonderful intro, and an actual game! Who'd have thought?

Thank you all!
@finefin: There are only two levels, and if you do beat them, you'll get an outro too!

Wow, 5 for mood in this one, very cool. I couldn't past the fire though, I thought maybe getting all the coins would do it but there's one coin about half way down the first level I can't seem to get and keep going. Great game though!

i'm impressed by the level of detail. multi-platform, an intro, the game ticks all the boxes. great game.

I love the mechanic. Fun gameplay but kinda tough. Great work!

Nice game, the mechanics are fun and intuitive, and the music makes it pretty immersive.
It's just a bit too punishing to retry from the beginning at the least error/ especially when you have to wait for the player to stop against a wall... Apart from that, well done!

Having to quit the game and restart from the beginning and watch the intro after each failure is really annoying. Great music though.

Wait for the ball to stop, it will automatically reset!

Thanks!

Took me a couple tries to figure out that I could get past the first level by collecting all the coins. It would be nice to have a "warm up" level or two that demonstrates that you need the coins, and how some of the tricks work. I couldn't quite beat the second level though. In response to your question, my IRC nick is "depp".

Well, each level was meant to be different, so there would be no more ball rolling coin collecting levels anyhow.

@Royal Railway: the ball didn't stop, or at least it didn't look like it would.
