I was not able to get very far because I cant seem to jump far enough to make it over the first big gap.   The graphics are good, the main problem is feels like gravity is pulling down too fast and applying a constant velocity rather then acceleration, does that make sense?  If you are already entering this as a jam, you should take a bit more time today and tweak the jump\/gravity so it feels better."},{"author_name":"Patji","author_uid":"17587","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 3:27pm","epoch":1355757720,"text":"I just uploaded a new one with the jumping fixed."},{"author_name":"Patji","author_uid":"17587","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 3:27pm","epoch":1355757720,"text":"Be sure you run for long jumps"},{"author_name":"Team Tibbles","author_uid":"19374","time":"Dec 20, 2012 @ 12:57am","epoch":1355964720,"text":"Norton 360 flagged this as malware.

Considering that another developer stated that game ran too fast, I'm guessing that the timing of you game may be based on CPU speed, rather than based on actual time passed.  If you are not checking the amount of time past since the last frame was drawn and updating everything based on that time span, this could be the reason for the speed issues.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, for some reason I couldn't jump more than about one blocck high, so I really couldn't get far."},{"author_name":"lorancou","author_uid":"8588","time":"Jan 7, 2013 @ 1:37pm","epoch":1357565520,"text":"Fine, fine, except I'm falling through this first moving platform!"}],"images":["ld25\/17587-8920bd1ed235319d9f1dde1528e0f317.jpg","ld25\/17587-85aebff58daa32420dd5e09f349d4dfd.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dc581.2shared.com\/download\/ZzYqnw6I\/TheLastXMas.jar?tsid=20121220-201947-9c1e7a16","text":"Download JAR"},{"url":"http:\/\/dc581.2shared.com\/download\/kFaPUzaB\/src.rar?tsid=20121220-202012-1e6ac8a8","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"27448","g_author":"17587","g_event":"LD25","g_eventkey":"14","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"27478","g_title":"The last X-MAS","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"9","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/201083\/17587-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/201083\/17587-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This is my first LD and first game I've ever finished.\r\n\r\nIt's a VERY VERY hard game to beat, but I hope you enjoy it!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe objective of the game is to finish the 3 levels as fast as possible, with as many points as possible.\r\nYou can get points by killing the goblins (shoot or jump on them).\r\nAt the end of the first and last level is a boss, after killing the last boss, you finished the game.\r\n\r\nNot really a You are the Villain theme, but the last boss is SANTA!...\r\n\r\nIf the sound doesn't work, you can try the source.\r\n\r\nPS: Feedback is very welcome.<\/p>","title":"The last X-MAS"}
