Now with Medals and a Scoreboard!

KEYS:

* Press Z to jump!
* Press K for Easy Mode! (Scoreboard disabled)
* Press M to toggle Mute!

I set out to make a short, slightly challenging, little low-fi platformer. It's very short (15 minutes at most), not all that challenging, and certainly low-fi.

If you do get stuck, you can press the K key on your keyboard to switch on Easy Mode. Once Easy Mode is turned on, it can't be turned off again.

INFO:

This is my first game. It's not all that great and has plenty of issues, which is what I expected. I spent a total of two weeks on it, a few hours a day. Most of that time was trying to learn how to use StencylWorks. Since I'm not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination, StencylWorks was my best bet for getting anything done.

Admittedly, 90% of what I love about Just Another Day is the music, provided by Peter Gresser.

IMPORTANT:

* If you find your framerate very slow, try clicking the 'pop-out' link above the game, to move it to its own window.

* If you still can't hit Z after clicking away the ad, just click the flash again.

FRONT PAGE:

Holy cow (or is that bull), front page! Thank you all for the positive reviews!

UPDATES:

11-02-12: Medals and a Scoreboard? I've sold out... At least I didn't make the game easier. Changed the graphic for the "helper" blocks, because some people were offended. Compressed the music to make the filesize smaller, please listen to the original quality on Peter Gresser's page.
30-01-12: Made the fadein/out on death a little faster, and added a few more helper blocks.

The jump momentum mechanic was a little ambiguous at first, but once you figure it out it is a fun precision platformer. Very well made, and doesn't over stay its welcome

I got both secret medals on my first playthrough by finishing the game.
I played on normal mode (didnt even know there is an easy mode ._.). Maybe this helps...
Some jumps are really painful especially on slopes. Sometimes you have to try different points to jump from.

amazing

thank god for easy mode. starting from the first jump after the second cutscene it's basically mandatory. came back trying to get the last secret medals but after two identical playthroughs i have absolutely no clue, so i guess it's gonna stay a secret

edit: i'm gaming; can confirm the "true love" medal is obtained from clearing the game on normal difficulty.
turns out there's a difficulty spike right at the beginning of the game (after the cutscene with the spaceship) where all the jumps are considerably harder to land then the rest of the game, which is what put me off from attempting it, thinking it would only get harder (which was not the case).
even then, the checkpoints are plentiful and you get infinite tries at every jump, so it's really not as frustrating as i recalled it.

for anyone struggling at the jumps on the slopes:
simply walking down on a downward slope won't let you jump far enough, and sometimes will just eat your jump input.
to cross wide gaps, you have to directly land (from mid-air) on the middle or lower part of the downward slope and jump as soon as possible, as you will slide and jump farther than normal.
keep in mind that walking to the middle of the slope will just make you slide off, and most of the time you'll just fall to your death anyway because the controls are finnicky like that; wouldn't be surprised if i managed to perform this correctly once every 20 deaths.

if you want to stand on a slope without sliding off (for example, jumping toward an upward slope), landing on the top corner of the slope is the same as walking on flat ground; just be wary of your character momentum as it tends to walk off anyway, and the foodhold is overall small.

i hear the music but stuck on loading (edit i can play but its stuck on loading help) i tried the clicking flash again nothing
