Download Simulator 2013 by mobyvb
(pretend to) Download five ~amazing~ files with Download Simulator 2013! Have you ever wondered why sometimes downloads stop partway through? It doesn't matter, because you will after playing this game. It's based 100% on fact, and I should know, being a professional download-person-guy.
This is a simple platformer kind of like Super Meat Boy where the goal is to get across the level before the loading bar catches up to you.
***I've been told by several different people that the download names are a bit suspicious. To clarify: this game does NOT actually download anything to your computer. The filenames are jokes.
It uses the HTML5 Canvas, so no download is necessary. Just go to the link and play. If for some reason the website isn't working or you want a local copy, download the source from the git repository linked. Here's the direct link to the zip file for the lazy: https://github.com/mobyvb/ludum-dare-27/archive/master.zip
BUGFIXES/PORTS AFTER DATE:

It's not just "oh go over there" it's "Control this out-of-control piece!"
At least the long wall jumps seem a little flatter than in SMB and it took me a few tries to consciously override my habits to hit that goal in the last level, hehe...
Really tough controls.
Could use some audio as well! The Web Audio API is the best candidate, but it's only working in chrome right now. Using <audio> elements would also work, though I only use it as a fallback because you can only play one of a sound at a time with it...
I finally got an idea of how to get through the last one, but it's impossible to me :D
