Unfinite by jonnopon3000

[raw]
made by jonnopon3000 for LD26 (COMPO)
An infinite runner type game with a simple visual style and two-button input.
Still a little buggy following the appearance of a new collision bug right at the end of the competition, and with the occasional graphical error, but otherwise a happy beginning to my time with modern OpenGL!

Controls: Z - Jump / X - Shoot / I - INVINCIBILITY (so that the new collision bug doesn't stop you from judging the game based on what's actually there)

NOTES:
- I've been told it's not working very well in Firefox and Chrome...I can't reproduce these problems at home, so hopefully the upload to Kongregate made things a little more reliable...
- Restarting the game doesn't work right - a refresh is a better bet
- Recommend turning on invincibility right away and playing 'til you've seen all you need to see. The collision bug can cause death upon landing from the smallest possible jumps...


Tools:
- Eclipse
- Java
- #LWJGL
- OpenGL (with VBO's) + GLSL 1.2

I sincerely hope you enjoy the concept :)

Doesn't start here either (tried with Firefox and Chrome, Win XP 32-bit).

Hmm...I'm having no issues in Chrome or IE, but I do see the issue on Firefox. I'm hoping that hosting it on Kongregate fixes this - thanks for letting me know, guys - check back soon for a (hopefully) fixed version :)

Interesting game, could use some sound. Uses the theme well.

After dying one time, the player barely moves ahead. Tried invincibility once, which worked as expected, but when I restarted the game, I spawned into the same place as before.

These problems combined with the very slow refresh (accept java + download of lwjgl+slick each time) makes for a less than stellar experience unfortunately.

I only saw a blank white page at kongregate under Chrome (after giving it over a minute to load and tried refreshing the page also), and the downloaded jar doesn't appear to do anything when launched - no window appears, no error message, etc. (Windows 7 64bit)

the gameplay is fun but there doesn't seem to be any consequence of getting hit by enemy bullets. Movement is weird , many times i rode through platforms like i was on an invisible escalator, but that was actually kinda cool looking so yeah.
