Bit of a glitch found
Hold up, press jump, continue holding up, and there you go, you can now skip the level. Due to time constraints there were bound to be some bugs, but this one was pretty major, also not every time, but sometimes when I pressed jump and up back right at the start, I would either die or go to the next level, that was a little wonky, the bear looked awesome though, and played properly, the game was pretty fun, good job.
Actually you don't even have to jump to make that bug work. Yeah, chalk that up to my bad coding. Most of the other bugs including the collision problems are due to my whole level making skeme. It served its purpose but turned out to be too buggy and constrained to be worth it.
Anticipation
Given that your character could not go below 80km/h I guess it was a struggle to balance speed and gameplay as I found I was anticipating what would come next or just memorise the stage if I made a mistake.
One thing I did notice was that the sequence of gameplay on the first level seemed to match the music (i.e there was a pause in the beat before you had to make the first jump which made my heart pound as I carefully timed the jump) If this was intended, it was a great touch, it got me right into the game.
Overall a great effort for 72 hours work!
The music stopping right at that jump was an awesome accident.
Has potential
But because your time was limited to 72 hours, you couldn't really fix all the little tweaking things that a game needs. I understand that. But if you wanted to, you could try making this game again, and put more time into it, and it would be really good.
I might make a game similar to this later on. Thanks for your input.
yikes
sry guys but this ones a disaster. you shoulda made the canvas size like double or the character and obstacles smaller - - theres no way to see whats comin! haha
I took your advice an increased the canvas size to as large as Newgrounds allows.
Hmm
Okay now someone tell me how to get past level 1?
Sounds impossible.
Try jumping.
