DONUT HEIST: Nom in 60 Seconds by jcvsmc

made by jcvsmc for LD25 (COMPO)

You are Boris!
The Greatest Donut Thief in the World!

Collect ALL the donuts then escape!
Arrows to move, space to jump.

EDIT: For the record the 1st (and only) level is possible to beat. I just made it extremely hard so that the game isn't over in 1 minute. I can complete it and multiple players have also done so!
GUIDE (Spoiler ofc!!!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2H7holWjU8

I have made games in flash before but decided to use the comp to finally learn to use flixel!
I'm glad I did it was a lot of fun :)

code: as3/flixel in flash builder
gfx: Gimp and Pickle
sfx: my voice and audacity
music: Audiosauna

Through back to the games of my youth on the Commodore 64.

Cool graphics and great sounds!

Could not figure out how to get past the first level in 5 tries.

Didn't quite get the link to the theme either.

I wish I could jump higher! Actually, I'm not even sure if I could reach the donuts near the exit without being able to jump higher... Definitely liked the music, and the looks of the level were pretty good as well. Nice use of flixel!

Pretty sure that the lil' fellow can not jump high enough to beat the first level :(

Heya just for the record it IS possible to beat the level, I just made the 1st and only level very hard so that the game isn't over in 1 minute, you have to try again and work out the best route. For the hardest donuts try jumping OFF something... ;)

Here's a video of me doing it, with mistakes and still 7 seconds left ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2H7holWjU8

Those rotating donuts somehow remind of Commander Keen

A very cute and fun game! The music is a bit to "staby" and the sound when you pick up the donuts gets annoying after a while and I cant figure out how to exit :/

But i still liked the game and it's actually one of my favorite games so far!

I loved the gameplay and how I had to re-think my strategy several times to find the best route through the level.
The adrenaline rush when there was one donut left and 2 seconds to go was amazing.
Very enjoyable game!

Nice game, good difficulty level. Finished it on my fourth try with about 1s to go :P

I managed to beat it, but it was pretty challenging. I liked having to come up with a good route.

I disagree... this game is bloody impossible! :p

Cool game. Wish it could have been a bit longer, but sometimes that's how game jams go.

Really nice art, is that an original EGA palette? I enjoyed it, but think it'd be more fun without the countdown timer (maybe just a countup timer to determine your score).

Cute graphics; it would be nice if Boris wasn't just a blob though.
