Timers are so "cheap" for making a challenge. DanAllsop Member Apr 29, 2016 5 0 0 #4 DanAllsop, May 5, 2016 Thanks for trying it out rich_952000 and Roleki. Human vs time has a long, long history, but understandably not how everyone wants to relax. I didn't intend for this game to be a deep dive into design frontiers. It is my first as a solo dev and I learnt a lot making it from start to finish. That said, I think the mechanic is pretty solid and offers something fairly unique. So anyone who tries it out and finds it a fun way to pass a little time is a huge bonus. Cheers.

Stronsay Well-Known Member Aug 6, 2015 948 204 43 #6 Stronsay, May 6, 2016 Bizzare game; although quite good really. Looking forward to a Mount Everest add-on. And K2. DanAllsop Member Apr 29, 2016 5 0 0 #7 DanAllsop, Nov 1, 2016 Updated with a new mode that allows you to unlock a location and play it forever with less time pressures and to try to beat your own scores. And some UI stuff. Enjoy. ZS77 Well-Known Member May 8, 2015 566 2 18 #8 ZS77, Nov 1, 2016 Haven't tried playing it but visually and concept wise, it looks as if Crackdown and Nebulus (you young'uns can Google that last one if you're not sure) had a bastard love child! # ZS77 Well-Known Member May 8, 2015 566 2 18 #9 ZS77, Nov 1, 2016 Ok, tried playing it now. Apart from a 2.5D rotating tower, nothing like Nebulus ....unfortunately. Nice idea, A for effort - however, feels like a tech demo and not a lot more. Rag doll physics don't suit the gameplay - perhaps a more 'parkour' style of animation would suit it better? Perhaps then losing the timed element (unless on a timed run) and replacing it with checkpointed 'sections', each of which requiring a series of fluid and controlled swipes & taps to pass through/along the obstacles/ledges - I guess a bit more like a 2.5D Vector/Mirrors Edge? Good luck with the game and thanks for letting us try. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
