An Barun Rua by iandioch
What kind of villain would you be if you'd never made a rooftop escape?
Inspired by Canabalt, but with what I think is a pretty unique art style - everything is in shades of red!
The title is in Irish, and means "The Red Baron". The rest of the game is in Irish too :3 I'll upload a post-compo version in English so you can understand the story. I'll add goats to the post-compo version too.
This was kind of a warmup for my Irish Indie Challenge 2013. You can join in that too! http://iandioch.wordpress.com/challenge/
So, enjoy! My second Ludum Dare, twas a blast, see you all in the new year for some more jamming madness!

Music is great.
I hope to see more and I'll make sure to follow your Irish Indie Challenge 2013.
i just noticed in the intro the image of the hand with the button, there's 6 fingers on the hand :D lol
Thanks for the kind words everyone! I'll have a look at this lag. But I think I need to play all your games first!
Cool intro and music.
+It's a funny concept for sure.
+It's in Irish!
+It's got a nicely uniform art style, which I wish I could say for my game.
-Not jumping immediately after keypress can really through you off.
-The difficulty is a little high.
But yeah, I like ending on a positive note. So again, good job!
Even though you said it was "easy" for some weird reason (maybe because I suck arse in platformers) I actually thought, that it was quite hard!
I also loved the music :)
The jumping mechanic is an interesting addition to the runner genre (at least I've never played one that had that). I wonder what could be done with it. Definitely worth exploring and polishing.
