Very good canabalt clone. I think it a lot more could be done with it. like falling ice, like the falling ship things in canabalt that block your path once in awhile.

also i think the distance goes up way to fast. unless thats feet or something.

great addition to the arcade if i do say so myself. :D

You know what is embarrassing? Not being able to get the top spot at your own dang game. Worst thing is, I think my own personal top score is 65000. You crazy people.

Thanks for the comments and ratings guys, always nice to hear. :)
I think the game could be improved so much more, with 10 more events or so, tidy up that death screen, take out a few of the bugs and add in some more things to dodge (as you said, Cecil).

WEIRD RARE BUG #1: On occasion, the random numbers/stars will align and two snowmen will be created one immediately after the other, and if you are travelling at a very low speed, it is possible then to start moving backwards. The map then totally messes up and creates this nightmare world of misplaced blocks and ice caves. Yay for 20 event limitations!

Oh, and there is a video on the games creation here. If you want to listen to 10 minutes of me talking with a cold at least. :P

It was interesting watching that. thanks.

I love video devlogs of competition entries.

my favorites are completely recorded development times of the 48 hour ludum dare competition in fast forward, with commentary as the video plays. its funny watching like when they go to bed and it gets dark and then the sun comes up and they start working again. lol.

Mint brick, you wrote a comment just so you could rate this as 6/10?

Why?

WOOT! 45th with "I thought snowmen were bad for a sec"

:)

OH, btw, best part of the game is the penguins :D

Nothing better, except perhaps an Anteater...

One more thing, how'd you make the title screen

Ricky, what part of the title screen? If you mean my 'Cranktrain' logo, that's just an active and a bigger fading white coloured active. If you're talking about the 'Press start to play' thing, that's even simpler, the 'Instructions' is an active with a bouncing ball movement moving up. (yay, default movements.)

I'm talking about the title string. The fancy looking font.

300,000+ - but I couldn't crash :(

I hit three snowmen in a row, and went backwards, falling into a ditch. Then I started speeding up... and ran across the bottom. I wish I could submit lol!

Finally the top 10. Barely.

8th! :D

I love this game, although I did get that snowman glitch... >_>
Oh, and another thing I found was that once I accidently jumped ON TOP of one of the tunnels. Seriously. But I was kind of in the light "ice" bit above the tunnel where you run through.

Awesome game, and I don't expect any game to be perfect.

10/10

you can just EDIT your comment to add the score just so you know.

If you replace whatever you have for the snowman code to
Set speed to Max([minimum speed required for jumping any gap], [normal code]) then you will lose the issue of going backwards or slowing down too much you can't make it over a gap.

the gaps are created based on the speed not the other way around. therefore if a gap has been produced its up to the player to decide whether or not to hit a snowman or not causing him to slow down enough and still make the jump, or slow down too much and hit the side of the cliff.

id just make it so the speed never goes less than 1.
