Yes, I ran out of time... I wonder if I'm allowed to add a very basic menu screen (pressing a key from this screen starts the game, dying brings the player back to this screen)."},{"author_name":"gnx","author_uid":"8333","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 12:20am","epoch":1335485700,"text":"Graphics aren't bad.

I wish there were power-ups or different kinds of enemies to keep the gameplay interesting or, as you suggested, a menu that display distance gone and such when you lose. Hope you finish it up!"},{"author_name":"someone","author_uid":"1207","time":"Apr 28, 2012 @ 11:25pm","epoch":1335655200,"text":"Interesting idea. I died a few times initially due to having to move from the mouse to the keyboard.

A few refreshes later it was working just fine though! I liked the concept, although I think it could've used a bit more of variety throughout the game. Good job!"},{"author_name":"AD-Edge","author_uid":"3467","time":"Apr 29, 2012 @ 6:54am","epoch":1335682140,"text":"Interesting idea! I like the little popping sounds they make.

Probably better than I thought it would be, though.\r\n\r\nN.B.2: It was made using only HTML5 <canvas> and <audio> elements, and several hundred lines of JavaScript. I used the jQuery library, and GIMP for creating sprites and backgrounds. The 'plop' was recorded using my mouth, and a Zoom H2 recorder. I tried to add some music and more sound (using a beautiful Gretsch guitar), but I wasn't able to finish this in time.\r\n\r\nEdit 2012.04.27: I added a Start\/Restart button and (very) simple instructions. I hope this kind of change is accepted after the 48 hours. I promise I did not change anything except that. If anyone has a problem with that, I can revert to the previous version, but the game in itself is exactly the same.\r\n\r\nEdit 2012.04.29: Fixed preloading of images (somehow) and game launch (with the Right key rather than click on button), I consider these as bugfixes.<\/p>","title":"Sprace"}
