Nice graphics, and the music is cool too. It's kinda lame that the optimal strategy though is waiting in a spot and timing your jumps just right instead of walking around. Maybe you need something to motivate the player to move. The way it is now I can keep collecting money in a single spot until the 10s break, then I purchase items and get back to my spot, what doesn't make a much interesting gameplay. Actually, moving isn't even a good strategy right now because the character moves too fast and I always end up dead... Still, this is a nice concept and very addicting. \r<br\/>Also, Online scores isn't working for me, it just says &quot;Fetch error&quot; =(\r<br\/>\r<br\/>OBS: Just noticed there's a post-compo version!
