LudumData

Jumpman Skill Builder by rexpeppers

[raw]
made by rexpeppers for LD 43 (JAM)

* Build your skills as a Jumpman *

The game is multiplayer "obby" (what the kids call an obstacle course). Plenty of sacrifices will be made if you hope to make it to the end of the course!

This game is built using roblox, and requires the roblox app (and creating a roblox account) to play. I used this jam to learn more about roblox so I can help my daughter make things. Roblox is super easy to get going with, it really eliminates the barrier to entry to making multiplayer games.

My plan was to create multiple courses to complete, and have players on one course falling to their deaths to help players on the other course... but ran out of time.

A funny roblox game! It's nice to have so many engines to build a game!

Good idea using that engine but I think that with that time it could have been made a bit longer.
I have not appreciated the part of the theme either, but overall it has been entertaining :)

I haven't seen a Roblox game on Ludum Dare yet. This game was pretty fun, but there just wasn't much to do. It really needs more levels. I also recommend working a bit on the visual presentation, it was a bit dull.

Neat to see a Roblox submission for ludum dare. It's out of the ordinary, but I feel like Roblox is horribly underestimated as an engine (although it definitely isn't the most effective). I'd say the game itself could've been a bit longer, but seeing as this was your attempt to familiarize yourself with the engine, I'd give it a good half rating for ambition.

I find your game interesting, playing with more players is cool, with more arts and music will give a very fun environment, maybe tinkering a little on the camera so the player has more sense of space can help the gameplay

I like the fact that you used Roblox to create the game however I didn't really understand where the theme fits in. Overall a really unique idea.
