Click to move. Click yourself to stop. Object is to get as many points as you can without getting trapped. If you are trapped, the restart resets your points for that level, but not everything else you have accumulated. There are 10 levels programmed so far and all of the levels get more difficult as you progress (as in level 1 is harder when you are at the end of the game... you'll see). I hope you like it!

Interesting. Not completely sure how to lose, but that's okay! :D I like it!
Thanks for the feedback. The holes are on a timer. If you try for a higher score, you might end up away from the ladder with no way back. Glad you liked it!
I like the sound effects a lot, lol. Especially the "ding ding" I also like the newspaper explanation at the beginning :)
Hahaha One of my friends emailed me and was like "is that Chuck's voice on the rings?". Thanks for playing and the comment.
Personally, I love pixelart. I'm just not good/fast at doing it. Would have needed 48 hours just to animate the dude in pixels :) Thanks for the comment.
Seems like an interesting concept. I found it irritating you didnt know how many "Ding-Ding" coin/rings you had collected, and I got stuck in a room on level 1. I played again and progressed easy enough. PErhaps when you get stuck in a room detect that for the player and provide a 'game over' prompt?
Good attempt though! :)
A little confusing, but also cute game. Sound fx were awesome! :) Really nice!
Love the sound effects made me laugh so much. the "DING DING" was my favorite good job.
Ha every time the guy said he had to go back down, I was like, "Uh no I think you can retire now". Silly man...
I felt a bit lost and didn't fully understand the mechanics. I like the sound effects and I think the option for simple graphics (much better that the ones from my 1st LD) was probably a good one, considering it's your second game.
Congrats on finishing the competition!
Thanks so much for all of the comments! Even if its not the best game out there, I am so glad that people are enjoying it :)
Tagline: Mr. Anderson decides to rid his debt by collecting golden Sonic rings from within the sink hole near his house. Will he succeed or will he find out his money mosh pit really is the pits?
Ahaha, I actually started drawing them like Mario coins. I guess I shaded the interior too much and went more for a sonic ring :)
As far as sounds, I do not know much about sound engineering. With the time constraints I just hit record and started making noises. I was most surprised at the rumble sound. Even though it was me making grumbly noises, it doesn't sound bad. :)
Oh my. I hope that's not what's going on beneath my house. "ding ding"
Alright. I finally got the time to play your game. It's pretty simple, but that's not necessarily a bad thing at all. The graphics could've been better, but they did what they were there for. They were much more professional than mine at least.
As all the others, I liked the sound effects XD
You captured the theme. One issue I'm having is that the gampelay became a bit boring after a while. It would have fun to have seen more elements and mechanics put in to play as you progressed. Still, the game was decent, and pretty enjoyable.
Good job!
Thanks for the feedback. I definitely planned on having more things happening. When I finally debugged as much as I could, there were 3 hours left. Instead of trying to add new things and possibly destabilizing it, I went for submission :)
Sound and concept are really awesome! I had a bit of trouble getting the guy to go where I pointed, though. Would've liked to have a display that counts how many rings I collect, too.
Simple looking, but very fun game! I included it in part 22 of my Ludum Dare Compilation video series! :) http://youtu.be/7oB_8pUypJo
Thanks for the comments.
Jupi got greedy in the video. The ladder was right there :P

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
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.
I forgot to mention that the game autosaves at the mailbox screen if you want to come back to it later. :)
