Hey, how are you? I hope very well, I was fascinated by the scoring system, and I will need it for my next game, can you help me with that? Do you have any tutorial? and do you think it can be used for construct 3

Developer (1 edit)

Howdy, sure, here you go! Sorry for the delay. Most info needed should be in the README on the page or in the comments in the files. I put pseudocode examples for the main functions. As long as construct can do GET/POST requests, it should work. Let me know if you have any questions. https://github.com/nickjrotundo/simple-high-scores

Do note that, given that this was written as part of a jam, it was written under the same time constraints as the jam haha. Therefore, while reasonable effort was given to make it reliable and generally secure, there is room for improvement no doubt.

This was a lot of fun! Had to make myself stop so I can rate more than one game this morning lol, will be coming back to get on that leaderboard, good job guys :) I thought it was a nice touch allowing the player a momentary chance to jump after a Christmas tree pad broke underneath.

Great game! A difficult game but with polished and fun mechanics, great job :)

Great game! I think the grappling hook mechanic is very well implemented and had fun playing it

Love the gameplay, sfx, and music here. I was hooked for a while and felt obligated to make it on the scoreboard lol. Only thing I would say is that the clouds can be rough sometimes along with grabbing trees. Random generation is pretty difficult to fine tune in such a short amount of time, yet you still did a good job. Great game!

I had fun playing even tho it took me some time to realise the Islands do not instantly break xD

Cute enjoyable game! c:

Developer

when i was designing the gameplay, i was gonna make islands break as soon as you hooked them!
my teammates convinced me to make it a little easier though :)

Submitted(+3)

I enjoyed the game! (Tho I was very bad at it lol)

Submitted(+3)

Simple concept of a game, but instantly fun because easy to learn. I felt that the clouds were a bit unfair sometimes but that's ok, i may be just be bad D:

Developer

They are DEFINITELY unfair, I feel you. It's total RNG code and could be made to consider the player more. I feel as though random is sort of a lazy and quick way to ensure fun playing a game over and over, but a good developer will add a little bit of control amongst the randomness. In future projects if the time is there, we will definitely consider that, so thanks for bringing that up. <3

This game was fun even though I'm terrible at it! Love the high score leaderboard, just wish there was a faster way to skip all that when I die on the first tree :)

Submitted(+3)

It was a bit difficult for me. (Skill issue :( ). Very good game!

Submitted(+3)

great!

This game is so much fun! I love the creative use of the candy cane, and the controls feel super smooth. Great work! 

Submitted(+3)

Love the arcade style of it and the leaderboard! I found it hard to get used to at first but then it was quite fun :)

Submitted(+3)

Really fun game! Love the addition of keeping track of everyone's high scores. I had some performance issues running it on my browser though but it was still fun to play despite that

Developer

Glad you enjoyed but sorry to hear about performance issues. I am curious, but no obligation to provide of course, which browser you were having issues in? Just so I can test and see if there's anything I could optimize in the future. Thanks for playing regardless!

Awesome, thank you!

I tried to get the maximum point I could but it is pretty hard! Had a lot of fun though :D

Submitted(+2)

Really fun little game! I just wish I could restart runs faster =) 

Developer(+1)

Thanks! We'll leave in the "R to restart" development hotkey next jam :D

Submitted(+2)

jogo muiitoo interessante, tente deixar o game over mais fluido e rapido, por que do jeito que esta, da muita pressa para jogar de novo, os troncos da arvores serem mais gordos iam ficar muito melhor!

Nice little game. I enjoyed it.
