This was delightfully silly. Excellent entry and great take on the original!

Who would you most like to avoid pairing with in Dev v Dev?
Either Dev Pirates, who's got the retro theme nailed, or HugBug, who snatched my round 2 victory out from betwixt my feeble hands >:
Who do you think will win GDKO 2024?
I think so many people have great shots... but I am scared of HugBug, Q34, and Joszs after last round

Wow you just commented and I happened to be on right now (:
The leaderboard thing isn’t actually a bug, I may have said this down in the commonest but due to some issues with measuring time and keeping track of GUID for the players it ended up being easier to reset the player so they can enter another score. I don’t think this will become a problem but if it does I will just delete some entries.
For the long jump - can you just keep running like forever?? Because it might just be velocity that carries over from the initial jump, and since the little guy is simulated with physics he may still waddle around.
Thanks for the feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed!!
Ah, the infamous last minute struggle with some feautures lead to the score thing :D you can definitely delete a score of mine in the 100m dash event, because I accidentally submitted it twice.
You could be right, maybe it just felt like I could run a little further than intended. I couldn’t get it so I can run forever, but it was always another 30m or so.

Glad you enjoyed!
The jump one actually doesn’t really do anything with the timing, it’s just normal jumping and speed. The best strategy is generally to build up as much speed as possible and jump as late as possible.
The timing probably ended up inconsistently modifying the jump distance because different parts might have caught on the ramp and slowed down the player.
Oh :P that one you have to jump right as you hit the trampoline or slightly after. You can usually tell if you hit it because you’ll get a massive boost, otherwise you’ll either jump bounce without any extra propulsion, or hit a funny landing and completely fail.
It’s very tough to get the timing right and it gets harder the higher up you get. It’s a bit hard to tell when to actually hit it but I recommend using the sound as a cue.

In hindsight, faster UI navigation is something I definitely would have added :P
The way the leaderboard I have works best when it’s reset after each run- if it becomes a problem I’ll just manually remove some duplicate scores but it usually isn’t an issue.
