Star Jump

[Nicam_Shilova]

Hi all !

 

To begin this new year, I purpose you to play my new hombrew game : Star Jump.

 

This game is inspired from Doodle Jump and has been created in a week. The objective is to jump as high as possible and avoid traps.

 

You can download it here : http://www.nicamshil...on/starjump.rar

 

Enjoy yourself, and Happy New Year 2013 !

This re-defines platformer hell. It's really challenging.

528 so far. This thing is hard.

Thanks for another great contribution to the CV Scene and indeed it is one heck-u-va challenging game. If you ever decide to make updates to the game in the future, perhaps a slight screen scroll downwards (maybe 1/4 of the screen) would be beneficial when the character is falling down due to missing a platform. It's pretty unforgiving as it stands, but still a fun game that really gets the heart racing.

what NIAD suggests would make it more skill than chance, perhaps a parachute button to slow the down the decent would be neat

I understand Star Jump is really hard, the idea was to create a game based on great skills and fast decisions.

And you definetly did that and then some! :thumbsup:

Finally I decided to purpose a new version of the game which the speed of the player fall is reduced. In consequence, the difficulty is a bit more easier.

Yup, working now. Picked up a few other games I didn't know about while I was there too!

Thanks Nicam!

You're welcome, and sorry for those which had troubles for downloading. Personally, I think it was a temporary problem from the web hosting service because when I upload, I always proceed tests.

easier now, I can get to 891. Not that I'm too good at this, but it seems you need to look ahead vs. looking at where the guy is jumping. Kind of like driving a car, i.e. look where you are going When you collect things at the top of the screen, like the Star, 4 leaf clover, sneaker what do they do?
