Thanks! I am glad to be in the jam.

I'm thrilled that you found so much to appreciate here! Yes I am proud of it myself too. I can now say I feel this has gone better than I thought it would. I have also learned how to make this web-playable.. I just hadn't looked into it prior, and that's because I assumed it would be too much to learn in a short span of time, and figured that the downloadable version was sufficient. And mostly that's true... I mean, I focused my attention on making the game, and there were a lot of things to do to get it to this point. The python tool pygbag is mainly how it's converted to be a web game, if anyone is interested to know how to make a Python build web playable. pygbag is a work in progress, so it doesn't know how to compile some stuff into web assembly, but, that is what it is doing. So, what this means is, my next game jam, I'll definitely be planning for it to be web playable. It really isn't a difficult extra step... if you look at my Frogger game page, I already have made that one web playable. Altering the code is required.. there is a python asyncio library you have to utilize, and then, the game engine has to fit with an asynchronous main loop, which means that program flow has to come back to this main loop regularly in order to update the screen. 

The main example is, like, when one implements an upgrades screen,
before, you would perhaps have a while loop that waits until you are done on that upgrades screen, but that keeps the flow inside a smaller loop, and prevents it from returning to the main loop until you close that screen.
to work in the browser, though, I had to flatten the flow per-se, and make it so the upgrades screen does its thing while the program flow still does the things in the main loop as well. So that isn't difficult to do, but it's just like ironing out wrinkles in a shirt. sometimes,... pressing on one wrinkle reveals more wrinkles. And things kinda broke at first that I had to un-break. Not that that is relevant to the game that exists at the moment, but, the modified game which runs in the browser has no noticeable difference, and to me that is really fantastic. There Is a performance hit, between browser and downloadable, but it's not enough to affect it on my end, and that is very encouraging. (This browser version only exists on my computer at the moment, waiting until the jam judge rating period ends)
if, down the road, something does require too much power to run in a browser, then I still think a reduced version to be web playable would be good. I feel like scalability is pretty good... even if a game is fully released, because, some people play the game on a potato, and the question is, can this work with simplified graphics etc?

Thank you! Art is what I start with. It's like, when I make a game, I gotta see stuff. I used to try to write the code and get it working the right way, and just have rectangles and things to be stand-ins for the art, and I kinda floundered like that. So instead now I start drawing the things... Like, when making thie game, the first thing I did, aside from like, setting up a game loop that did nothing, was draw a fellow, and then make a throwing animation. I mean, I drew the beach as well, and some blue water n whatever... but my point is that the art Is the game to me, and I'm glad to see that you enjoyed it!

Also, the art work was beautiful, I really enjoyed looking at the backgrounds while the stone skipped.

Thank you so much sir. Lol, I had UFOs planned, but the timeframe had gotten pretty slim, so I said Eh, good enough and didn't add them. Instead, I "battened down the hatches" per se. Better a game without bugs than some UFOs people may not even see :)

Y'know, compliments like yours are really great, and make me excited about what it is I am doing. I hope you'll follow me on my main page for future stuff

there is an ending. Also, thank you for the praise! I spent considerable time on this project, and was pretty pleased with myself for managing my time well enough to make it feel pretty complete. It is simple, but, everything starts with simplicity doesn't it?

Yeah, that's great to hear! I know a lot of really cool gems are in this jam, including yours, and I'm just glad to be among them.  y'know, someone has already given me a useful idea for this game. Adding a falling speed decrease... because, it's very easy to get bounced very high, and then freefall until your horizontal speed is less than your vertical, and you don't even bounce on the water. While that's just part of the luck of the already very lucky game, it's like, it happens quite often, and, I have an excuse to add some fall-resistance. cuz in real physics, maybe a smooth stone falling quickly actually is affected by air resistance, so I ought to do that for realism anyway

I was so glad for him to play it :) Feels very good. I am glad you liked it! Yep, the falling thing can definitely make it more fun while being physically accurate

Much appreciated! Yeah I can add that, and it'll totally make falling steep distance less punishing. nice

:D glad to provide entertainment

Thank you!!

Excellent :) Thank you

Thank you! I'm pleased with it too.

Thanks!

which anti-virus software is it? that's called a false positive. Also, thanks for playing and the feedback, I'm honored

Oh yeah, I remember Burrito Bison! a really good game in this style. Glad you appreciate it!

lol nice

Thanks. I was inspired by games similar to it, like, "Learn 2 fly," which is about a penguin trying to fly, so you launch yourself rather poorly at first, but you upgrade little by little, until you're zoomin

Thank you :D Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much :)
