So some screenshots to show my progress

So I thought some of you would be interested in seeing what other people would come up with.

Below is a screenshot of the only real level in my game, a simple platformer

Basicly the aim is to try and collect the “coins” (colored blocks) before the 10 seconds run out

After the ten second you are given the option to upgrade your abilities, which in turn allow you to move faster and jump higher

Now the goal of the game is to reach the end of the level, however in the beginning you are to slow to reach it in 10 seconds.

Personally I am not completely satisfied as I feel the concept is both not that original (I really could not think of anything else) and the game is a little bit to frustrating (hard) and I dont know how to fix the second part.

I was thinking of adding 2 difficulties, one 10 second per live and one easy more where you are given 10 seconds of “valve time” so that you have some more time if you fail to often.

Anyway, tomorrow I will probably make a proper ending and title screen, add sound and music and polish everything up.
