Roll 4k

Contests 4K Game Competition - 2006
#1

Work In Progress.

Another ball related game for me I’m afraid. Roll around the level - collect the coins, get to the exit. Just like before only different. :slight_smile: Only 3 levels so far and only a couple of features. Still working on a few more levels and at least 2 more features.

I used the Tilemap Eclipse plugin to design the levels :slight_smile:

Left - roll left
Right - roll right
Space - jump
R - restart
Escape - quit

great work, damn that 3rd level is one mean sucker, but once you get the trick to it very nice!

love the physics to the ball. ;D

#3

Love the bouncy ball. Would say more but need sleep badly :slight_smile:

#4

This is awesome, I got to the 3rd level, that’s a pretty tough introduction to the dragons teeth. Very cool!

#5

Splendid as always, kevglass. Great work!

#6

Thanks for the feedback guys, great as always.

New Version up:

4084 bytes -

#13

#16

No goal on the last level? :S

Um, you sure you mean the last level? Seems like theres a goal at the top of the level to me:

Ah ha, its actually the level one from last… fixed.

Oddly enough, adding that exit saved me one byte in packing.

Kev

PS. Tools are available for level creation should anyone wanna give it a try :slight_smile:

#19

Oh. I see :smiley:
I just thought it was the last one, since it had no exit. Where do I get the level design tools?

#20

That first level with the switches is insanely difficult. It should be the last level; it’s alot harder than any of the others. I suck at twitch games like this so it was kinda frustrating at times. Awesome 4k game though. :smiley:
