Nice first try!

I've been reading some of the other reviews, but none offered any really substantial, constructive criticism. I hope you read this review and make use of my suggestions, because you don't have a terrible game here! I beat all 30 levels, and noticed a couple things.

First of all, your character doesn't face the way he's moving. The easy way to fix this problem is to add "character._xscale = 100" to your right movement code and "character._xscale = -100" to your left movement code. (I know that one sounds a bit knit-picky, but it always helps!)

Secondly, your game doesn't do anything to make it seem fresh throughout the experience. You do the exact same thing and it doesn't really challenge you. The moving coins in the second half are kind of cool, because they challenge the player to beat the level as fast as they can. What many games do is add new twists throughout the game to constantly change the way you think about the game.

Some music would help, too! Ask a musician in the audio portal to use their music if you don't want to make your own, because that stuff's always great!

Some extra polish would help make the game even better, too. "Modern"-looking menus and interface, graphics and even some of the hit test and controls. For example, your guy "bounces" on the bottom of the screen if you touch the bottom. Try and make the hit test a bit smoother, or remove the bottom altogether and have your character reset whenever you fall past the bottom. Fluid transitions between levels would help, too. The game is keyboard-controlled, so using uniquely keyboard controls makes it a lot better.

By now I have probably bored you to tears or forced you to ignore the review altogether, and I hope you can forgive me for that :P Good luck and I hope you'll let me know when you put out a newer, improved version of the game! :)

Needs a ton of work

I'm almost positive that this game was removed once before, but it seems that you put it up again without making any changes at all to it.

The game is waaay to easy. Make it a little more difficult next time around.

Visuals are aren't that great. Most people like unexpected and spontaneous things. Instead of collecting coins, we should collecting top hats with pinwheels and fireworks coming out of the top.... nvm that sounds kinda lame. XD

Another thing to fix is how he just drops to the bottom of the screen and continues to jitter around. It's annoying. Why can't he just stop when you finish the level?

Controls are stiff. It feels like I'm fighting the keyboard when I'm controlling the character.

I think it's in your best interest to read the reviews you get and make corrections and/or changes to your game next time.

It's pretty good...

for your first, but you know, you should try to make the graphics a bit more detailed, and the gravity didn't seem like Earth's. Like it pulled you down REALLY hard. Overall, I like it dude! Keep going!

good

for a first but, no that good

NEEDS @ LOT OF WORK

i think that the idea is pretty good in general but, the graphics kinda suck their are no sounds just when you collect coins.............. lets just say its needs a lot of improvement but i think that it can make a come back if you try fixing the flaws
