Antibounce by TurtleP

[raw]
made by TurtleP for LD34 (JAM)
=ANTIBOUNCE=

A Ludum Dare #34 Game

Use the left and right arrow keys to move your player to bounce and collect coins. Don't stand around too long, or spikes will spawn below you. Every 4 coins spawns a spike, and after 8 coins it becomes every 2. Gravity will flip every 10-16 seconds, so watch out!

OS/X and Linux need to download the framework L枚ve from www.love2d.org/ to play.

Special thanks to my friends Fluxu, Renhoek, xKaype, and Tjakka5 for motivation!

*Update 2
Added pausing (because pausing is nice: press Escape)
Fixed the aliasing on the font
Fixed a weird menu bug where the player could activate the game instead of quitting

*Update 1
Fixed main menu bug causing the player to reset the game

Game is cute and fun, and the graphics are really, really nice as well.

This game is tiny. Like, *really* tiny. I can barely see it.
You should make a version that's scaled up 2x. That'd make it easier for people with bad vision and/or high dpi displays.

Anyways, when I play it with Windows Magnifier on, it's actually pretty fun :)

Okay I just fixed it up so it can handle bigger resolutions.

The mechanic has potential, but the execution is lacking:

- The game starts too slow, but then picks up pace too fast
- The ball moves too slowly
- The spikes are very hard to make out from the background
- The spikes appear with no warning, often when you collect the coin immediately above
- The hitbox of the spike is too big

Very well done! Sometimes spikes would spawn right under me as I was coming "down". That kind of felt unfair, but otherwise solid presentation!

First of all, I love your menu. This is something that I think more games should do!

The audio and graphics suite the game very well and are coherent and complement each other. Simple and fast to get into but with an increasing challenge!

I would like it if the spikes were a little bit more obvious though.

Overall a very nice entry!!! :D

This game shows how keeping it simple is sometimes the best choice!

Quite a solid release. The visual style fit well and the menu screen was pretty neat.

It needs some kind of visual indicator for when a spike is *about* to pop up.

Nice little game with smooth graphics. Spikes are too unforgiving though, as others have mentioned.

I like the presentation of this game, its simple but looks good. The gameplay is pretty simple too but it works for what it is. My main gripe is the spikes are way too hard to see, and sometimes they just unavoidably spawn underneath you, resulting in some cheap deaths. Still, not a bad game!

Nice time killer. I had a feeling that spikes spawn right where you're falling most of the times)

The only problem I had was with spikes appearing right below me where it was literally impossible to avoid them.
