Gameplay type: runner

---------
Use X to control everything (the mouse in the menu works too) (maybe double... ;) )
----------
The original idea was to make more mini games based on minimalist paintings, but I had no time.
This time I used Flashpunk instead of C++ to be quicker. I had only 3 hours on Saturday and half Sunday, but I managed to achieve a game :)

A lot of game in this ludum dare with this game mechanic, but this one is classy. I enjoyed graphics and audio.
Very nice, I think that this game will be an awesome mobile game
Cool game, fits perfectly with the theme. Nice audio too : relaxing and accorded to the game.
I thought the jump was bit 'floaty', but that could have been a design choice. I love your idea of creating a series of games based on paintings. Kind of like William Carlos Williams' poems about Bruegel's paintings.
Thank you all :)
About floaty jump: yes, I tried to make all dreamy.
I like the floaty feel. Pretty simple concept, but it works nicely.
I like the mood of the game
you could add a point system and make the player keep the square inside the blue for score and even more score by landing on black, this should make the player risk more =O)
nice game tho (and gj since you had so little time =OD )
Nice audio. The jump physics were off enough that I never really enjoed it. I was only able to clear maybe 5-6 barriers. Why the slow motion jump physics?
Thank you all :)
@rzfmzn: I tried to remove, or at least reduce, as many "meta" as possible. In fact the time, a sort of score, is displayed only at the end. I didn't wand the player to be affected or distracted by them, ruining the dreamy experience.
@GeorgeBroussard: Did you used the double jump? The jump is not really "slow moved", but I wanted to achieve a dreamy sensation, so as final effect it could be perceived so. the physics is almost as it would be in reality.
This had a good serene tune to it. It felt organic. Also, don't know if it was intentional, but the movement was not entirely linear, instead it had a pulsating feel to it, which in this case fits really good. Could see this turn into sort-of zen runner where you kinda dance forward without a care in the world.
Thank you. I tuned the movement very carefully.
I like the idea of the zen runner :)
Pretty good take on a minimalistic endless runner. The background music gives a very relaxing mood.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
simpe but fits the theme, liked the sound design too
