I was kinda on the fence about this one, but then you chose the right theme and I thought of a stupid pun so now I'm in as team Wizard Hat.

All important decisions should be based on stupid puns.

Let's talk resolutions.

I'm bad at drawing. Fortunately, through the magic of a scanner, potrace (magically traces a vector image from a bitmap), Inkscape, and inverse kinematics I can create passable artwork. But this is absolutely the smallest it can get:



How many people would balk if my game's resolution were 1152 x 864 in order to support my beautiful, glorious artwork?

With the Only One Submission mantra beaten into my head I'm a little wary of clicking the Ready to Submit button, but I had a question. If I have both a Windows and an OSX build of my game, will I be able to upload both separately, or is only one file allowed to be official?

Also can any Mac goons test my OSX build? I have no idea if it works or if my first question is moot.

I tried to load it on my mac and it crashed immediately after I tried to open. Here's a crash report, in case that is at all useful to you: http://pastebin.com/wvk5dcY3

Oof. That's why it's good to get a little outside testing before submitting.

I'll stick to the Windows build for now, and maybe take up the crashing with the middleware devs later. Right now I've got to focus on (question mark?).

I'm not one to generally experience pride but I keep going to the games page, looking at the wall of entries, seeing this:



and thinking, "Hey. I drew that. And I like how it looks!"

I don't think that's ever happened before. But between a road trip and a bachelor party I managed to develop an artistic style which translates onto computers and get comfortable with a game engine that I really feel might be The One for me, when most of them end up in the poo-poo pile within a day or so of experimentation.

When's the next game jam? I've gotta keep this gravy train rolling.

Octo-Jam in October and our big exciting Winter Jam in December.

Is this Winter Jam a forums thing? Mr. Google just returned a bunch about some concert.

In general I like the pacing of month-long jams; it ends up being about a week's worth of effort but I get to space it comfortably.

For those particularly jonesin' there's also One Game a Month, although it lacks the motivating factor of judges and reviews.

A good try, but I stopped playing on the second level and would not play again.

Thanks for the review. I'm aware of most of the problem spots (turns out designing levels is not my favorite thing to do), but just for clarification, where did you get stuck? Was it the trampoline bit?
