I would like to point out some problems in Jump Up 2. This includes both aesthetic, as well as gameplay flaws.

- Clouds should scroll a bit slowly. Like is normal.
- The ground tiles could do with being smoother
- More music, possibly?
- I like the random quote when you lose. Only, make a couple more, and make it random which appears.
- Make the game a bit easier in the first few stages. Possibly lower the platforms.
- If possible, make it so that your last used trajectory is shown. It will IMMENSELY help the game.
- Actually, make the whole game a bit easier. As of now, you have to land almost exactly on the flag just to get 2 stars. it shouldn’t be that hard. Make the area a bit larger.
- Make it so that if you overshoot the flag, you get a 5 star. Seriously, it is more difficult to pull off than landing on the flag,
- Again, make the levels easier. I flatter myself to be a pretty good gamer, yet failed to cross the first bush level.
- Put upgrades, if possible. probably ‘more speed per second’ and ‘higher jump boost’ kind of stuff.
- Don’t let the stickman go outside the game window
- Maybe more hats? :3
- Also, maybe a jetpack upgrade? Limited fuel, and gives you a small boost. Would add strategy.
- Wind indicator, if there is wind. If there is no wind, clouds should not race by.
- The signboards are sometimes odd. ‘No more information’, is that required?

I suggest you show me the game again after implementing some (or all) of the suggestions. As of now, the first few levels are rather too hard.

Haha, long time no see indeed! I see you have made some more games. And, after playing them, I would like to list a bit about what I liked and did not like:

Savage Artlillery

Pros: Where did you get that damn awesome physics engine? :P

Cons: Repetitive, unclear instructions (I was sending people TO the portals :P), not too good graphics

Toss up

Pros: Well, the concept is definitely new. The physics is sort of realistic, though falls short of expectations

Cons: Repetitive, boring, no goal

X-Missile:

Pros: Great graphics, good gameplay, not TOO repeatative, nice music

Cons: Lack of upgrades in a game with a missile (yes, I know), only boxes to shoot is boring

So, overall, what you need are upgrades (people DIG them), some changes in your gameplay (different maps) and good targets to achieve.

Overall, I am very pleased by your progress. X-Missile rated 5/5 and fav’d for showing potential. And good luck for your next games!

BTW, no offence, but there are a few typos here and there in X-missile. Could do with fixation. And once again, use that physics engine once more in your next game. It makes the game that much funner.
