This was a fun, relaxing, and overall enjoyable game that made me smile. Then, the last level happened and every last ounce of goodwill this game built up with me came raining down in splinters of shattered hopes and broken dreams. This is the level that should've been called "are you mad?"
As amusing as the theme of this game is, there's some lag issues as well as balance issues. The hippo/hamster match was way harder than anything in the ultimate faceoff bracket and even a few matches in the hydra battleset.
For those having trouble with the perfect jump badge, try this: Ignore every segment of your coaster aside from the first car--it's the only one that matters. You want the first car to land as close to the edge as possible. Jump early if you have to and tap for smaller jumps when necessary. Good luck!
I feel like I need 4 hands to play this game properly. Anyway, the rocket launcher is a fantastic crotch-kill weapon, so try to use it if you're having trouble with the easy badge.
For a 72 hour project, this was pretty decent and enjoyable, although I'll admit, I'm starting to grow phobic of platformers where there aren't any enemies to kill. After all, no enemies to kill means something far more sinister is lurking in the shadows--the dreaded "overly tricky wall jump boss."
@josh438: Because the teenage male demographic they're targeting pretty much laps it up. Well I got my coupon before the game loaded, so...I guess my work here is done. :)
How to get the easy badge if you're in a hurry: After finishing the new game tutorial, exit to the world map. Click on a nearby town (the fancier it looks, the better) to travel to it. When you arrive at the town, look for the city hall. In the city hall building, you can do things like save your game, view your stats, get quests, and...attack the town. Choose to attack the town. You'll be utterly destroyed and should get the badge. If not, reload and try again until you do.
I created this for the February Game in Ten Days contest to help get myself back into game development after taking like a year off. While this particular game is nothing special, I figured it was worth sharing with people anyway, so here you go! Enjoy. :)
If you have a graphics program like Photoshop, you can alt-printscreen and then paste it into a new document. Cut one of the two images out and move it directly on top of the other as a new layer (select one of the images, right-click selection, layer via cut). Colorize (image-adjustments-hue/saturation) that new layer to red with maximum saturation, then set the layer's blending mode to "difference" (drop-down list in the "layers" panel) Use the arrow keys to nudge (make sure the move tool is selected) the layer until little to no red/blue edges show in the image details, then just look for anything with a slightly redder or bluer hue than normal. No more counting bricks!
