Cubert J. Boxworth's Wild Stride by MatClassic

[raw]
made by MatClassic for LD26 (JAM)
Cubert J. Boxworth's Wild Stride is a non-stop running game with a simple objective. Achieve the highest score you can! Beware though. There are many obstacles that block your forward path. You must choose the correct ability to remove the obstacle and continue on your journey to greatness. (And a high score on the Potat-o-meter!) Good Luck!

Controls:
G - Turns you Green and is the only way to increase your score.
R - Turns you Red and allows you to break through Boulders.
Y - Turns you Yellow and allows you to cross Haunted Bridges.
B - Turns you Blue and allows you to float on Water.

Right and Left Arrows - These allow you to move forward or backward, giving you more or less time to react. Score increases the farther ahead you are.

ART: Graphics were made using Voxatron and Photoshop.
AUDIO: Sound was made using GarageBand.
CODEBASE: C++

Programmer: Mathew Gould-Dunlop
Designer: Jordan Pickett

Pretty fun game - I liked the way you cut through the rock and light up the haunted houses. It would have been nice to still see my score on the defeat page though.

Virus scanner reporting a suspicious file. I don't trust the download service, maybe you can move it?

May I suggest using Dropbox, downloading it made me install an extension which mess with chrome :S. It changed my homepage and doesn't look very safe :S.

Can't leave a rating since I don't have a Windows machine.

The music in this is amusing, along with Cubert's art. The pacing is fairly smooth, although the speed changes themselves needed to be over a course of a second or two, instead of a sudden increase. Fun game!

Very solid game- like color switch mechanics!
