#1

Hello java-gaming community, my name is gzuzboey and I am 13 yrs old and I would like you to play my new game called Jumper! ;D The concept is very simple. It’s a jump up to the next platform type game. I’ve been working on this game for about 3 weeks now and I am very excited for you play.

UPDATE
Minor Patch:
Tweaks:

  • You can now use arrow keys to move player left and right.
  • You can now also use enter to select menu items!

DOWNLOAD NOW!

Any feedback or criticism is appreciated :wink:

Screenshot:

Note: If you can’t jump on a platform, that’s because u already jumped on it.

Why no screenshots? Would help the presentation a lot, rather would make it interesting at all. :slight_smile:

#3

Srry, im a noob at this, but i do i take a high - quality picture of my computer?

#4

[Print Screen] then paste into an image-editing program.

Or Snipping Tool if you’re on Windows.

#5

Thx!!! ;D

#6

Use Imgur for screenshots. They aren’t showing up.

#7

Yes Sir!!

#8

You should see it now…

#9

Yep, I see it.

First of all, good work…it’s definitely more than I accomplished at 13.

Some criticisms:

  • The controls were not very uniform. Perhaps enter should also allow you to select menu items? Also, if you’re using arrow keys to control the menu, you don’t want to then just jump straight to WASD controls. Maybe allow both WASD and arrow keys?
  • Within the first couple platforms on all the games I played, there was a platform that I couldn’t jump to. Maybe you could do a range check to make sure all the platforms are close enough to the previous platform?
  • Also, I sometimes hit my head on the bottom of some platforms, causing me to lose the game. I thought that you could pass through the bottom of them.

The music was good by the way.

Yea… The way the libgdx Box2D backend works, I couldn’t really make that happen. :frowning:

Yea, all i did was make a random generator for the x and y position of the platforms, I will work on that though.

Srry, I have no idea what your talking about. ???

What I meant was that the controls were not what I expected. I expected Enter to select the menu items, and, after using the arrow keys to select the menu, I expected the arrow keys to also move the player. Instead, I was having to jump around they keyboard a lot.

#12

Oh, I know what you mean. Yea, I’ll have to fix that tomorrow. Thx man!!! ;D

#13

Yea, I guess thats what makes this game unique! ;D

[quote]good job on the artwork and music though. ;D

Thank you very much!!!

I love it! The control’s lock up a bit. And the background needs to go up as the player goes up a bit better. But still amazing! And I wish you luck!

#15

Yea i had alot of trouble with those.:emo: But thank you for the feedback ;D
