  Free.

  Just add these 2 global variables,

  points

  temp_points

  Set its default values to 0.

  Make an invisible object and make him collide with it when he reaches the yellow box. Let's call it pointgiver.

  On Collision | Destroy pointgiver Object, Set "group" active, add 25 to points

  On every tick | set text to temp_points

  Now you need a group with this event.

  Every 0.5s |

  Sub Event - temp_points < points | add 1 to temp_points, Play "pointincrease" sound.

  Else - temp_points = points | Play "pointequal" sound. | Set "group" inactive

  That's fast. Good work Ashley.

  Was just a simple turn on/off thing was it?

  Haha! The forum also tends to occasionally give me the "sufficient rights to post this" error after I press post. All of my post disappears forever. But I've gotten used to it and started copying all my posts to clipboard before I press that Chance button.

  Simple concept, but I've played too many similar games to enjoy it a lot.

  The controls were fun for awhile, but started to bug up after awhile and my germ stuck against a wall for a long time once.

  Other than this, good game, simple and distinct graphics.

  malaska You might want to make the jump a little less awkward when you don't hold space. I think you can do this by adding more jump strength and more gravity.

  EDIT: He could also use some jump and land animations!

  VLC can record videos!?

  What blasphemy is this. I thought I was utilizing everything when I discovered it could convert .mov files to other formats.

  Hmm, but Webstorage stores in your cache or just for that session.

  For a RPG game or a more serious, longer game, we would want a permanent file save. I wouldn't want my players not to clear their cache because their EXE game's data would be lost..

  Would be nice.

  You can use global objects for some of this.

  I would also really love to see this added.

  Preferably with choices on format and encryption!

  I didn't enter, but best wishes to all the members who did!

  Can't imagine the surge of members that would follow a C2 game winning Ludum Dare.

  Very good suggestions, I noticed a lot of these Minor setbacks myself when I was creating My Irrational Fear of Unicorns. The layers and objects losing a lot of their properties especially, since my of my levels had many multiple layers and were based on the first tutorial level. I duplicated them and had to make so many adjustments to have an exact level actually duplicated.

  I hope these comments reach Ashley. They aren't major in the sense, you can still create what you want with them existing. But it does come as a setback when you are rushed for time in game jams and competitions.

  My game which isn't simple at all, runs pretty smoothly on an SIII, I'm surprised.

  Use appMobi and turn it into a native app, it should be much faster.
