Sometimes it was impossible to do a section because a platform was too thin followed by an obstacle immediately in front of your only landing position.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think you need to tweak your procedural generation code to not just be purely random.  Test your game more and add conditions to make it playable.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>With free running games it is important to have some sort of learning curve."}],"images":["ld22\/5787-e4214fde475dde6c59201add758279f7.jpg","ld22\/5787-de65e8d660ba1bf647a2db0bcaecef9e.jpg","ld22\/5787-1667443825a68740da4e38850f9f4b3a.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/11197643\/ld22\/freerunner.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/11197643\/ld22\/freerunner.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"31808","g_author":"5787","g_event":"LD22","g_eventkey":"8","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"31838","g_title":"Freerunner","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"679","g_commentcount":"6","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/87574\/5787-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/87574\/5787-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/87574\/5787-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Small freerunning game.
