This is my first game ever (not only on ludum dare)!
This is what my game looks like after 15 hours of hard work!
I lost way too many times with my particle effects, since I was learning how to make them at the same time, and it took me forever to open a xml file (for some reason, I could open it on eclipse but not after exporting my project >.>). I also am a crappy artist, so you will notice that the player is a blob instead of a human (way easier to make something without legs haha)
The game was written in java using the slick2d framework on eclipse. I also used paint.net. I used sunvox, audacity and as3sfxr for the music/sound.
This game may not be the best, but I had a lot of fun creating it.
GOAL : Survive as long as possible, try to avoid the spikes. Each 10 seconds, a random event will make the game harder.
CONTROLS : left and right button
Thank you all for playing this game, enjoy it and please don't forget to comment as this is my first game ever!

@Ciaran54 : Thank you really much :)
For the music, I'm quite sorry but I was a bit shot on time, I thought about looping the game music, but you have no idea how it would make the player go crazy after the fifth time (trust me I tried it on my brother haha). So yeah, I should have made a longer soundtrack :)
Was gonna say the game needs audio until I got to the part where you actually hate the audio lol
The changes are nice, and liked the gameplay but in the end I was bored.
Great game ! But you stop music after 10sec and it's a little bit annoying.
577! Great job on your first game! The effects did a superb job of distracting me, as I'm certain they were intended to. Great job on the music as well. It was a nice touch.
I think its too simple and I can not see anything original in it. But its definitely playable! Cg on your first game!!
Cool game. Great game that it is your first. I really liked the change of game play every 10 seconds. Fun!!
Score of 1011. Congratulations, your game made me feel proud of myself. :P
It really is kind of cool for what it is. In the beginning I was slightly underwhelmed (the title made me expect something different than a simple dodge game I guess), but I like how it just went completely insane on the effects side after a while. It was so disorienting that after a while I was almost sure everything was rotating. Still a little dizzy.. :D
Score: 626, I enjoyed that quite a bit, would have one good with "Random powerups" too ;D Had myself laughing everytime it would randomly play that fruity music haha, well done!
I actually had a ton of fun, and i loved the randomness that was added every 10 seconds! Would be cool to see a fully fleshed out version with more random effects :D
More Music! Hehe made me laugh. I actually went into this with not high expectations but it's a pretty nice game. The 10 second aspect you have has that "1 more turn" feel to it.
quite nice game. and extra point for beign your first game :D i'll not penalize you for the absence of music thinghy, since my first game was mute xD
Nice work, the small burst of music mid-game is kind of weird though, I think the music should play throughout the whole game so there's not this weird dead air thing going on. Loving the fire particles - especially how they sway with the wind!
At first I was like "meh, another 'dodge for 10 seconds'" but when I started playing, I didn't want it to end :) Good job.
The player looks like a beak-less penguin more than a human or a blob, and I find it quite cute! Nice game!
Score: 429;
Very nice work!!!
I love the sounds and the visuals were very good!
The particle effects were very nice too.
I think it would have made the game a bit better if certain things went away after the next thing was added. I.e MORE COLOURS. Hahah. Awesome work. especially for a first game!
8/10! Keep it up man! I would love to see more from you. (Did you study programming at university or was this all self taught? Thanks!)
@MrBlade I currently am starting my second year of university, but most of the game programming was self taught (they don't teach you how to make video games at university haha). For your more color problem, I'm pretty sure I fixed that o.o After the first time you see "more color", it will never come back and be replaced by "CHAOS!", which practically increased everything.
Thank you anyway for your comment :D
Pretty simple game but you made it very memorable with cool effects, interesting difficulty changes, and hilarious random events. Really great first game.
Very good for a first game. You should definitely continue making them.
It was very compelling to see what would happen next, so good use of the theme. I really liked small details such as your character moving a bit as well when there's wind. It is a lot better than many of the games I've seen around here.
Very cute game, loved the music :D xD i know is simple but very fun n.n i score 574 points xD... i really like this game :D great work :D

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.

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.
Score:396 ;)
Very impressive as a first game, congrats ;)
I enjoyed it, very nice particle effects, and the effects were pretty funny too! The changing gameplay kept it interesting. Could do with some background music or sounds, I thought, though.
Thanks for making it ;)
