CellEvolution by gbear605

[raw]
made by gbear605 for LD24 (COMPO)
A basic platformer game. Get all the cell parts. Arrow keys to move. Made in Processing, using Player.pde from http://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/17115 I made up the music myself and played it :D Sorry for the horrible quality of music and game.

Web version couldn't load any of the files, so crashed.

Have you considered uploading it here, where it does most of the work for you? http://www.staticvoidgames.com/
It's specifically for Processing and Java games, and takes all the hassle out. So you could have a working web applet.

Yeah, for some reason it didn't export the images with the application or applet... Trying to fix it now.

I have a web version, if anyone knows how to make Processing export images and sound when it exports to application, please tell me

Save them in a '/data/' folder and Processing will automagically include them.

Haha. A pretty nifty platformer, all things considered. The last level was more /annoying/ than hard, but the bonus at the end more than made up for it!
Also a positive was the scientific accuracy, of all of the cell parts being labelled. However, I'm not quite sure how scientifically viable it is for a single cell to evolve into a kitten...
One note: Make the hitboxes for the parts a little bigger. You had to be in just the right place to pick them up, instead of just touching them.
Great little game altogether though!

Would be cool if the parts you pick up change the way the player moves. For example makes the player moves faster or jumps higher. I like that the final area is a level editor.

I just recorded the audio, thats why it sucks :P

I would have done the change movement thing, but I didn't have enough time.

Nice little game, was the original idea for more levels once you could place blocks? Was still good collection the cell parts, and longer platformers can get tedious if you don't offer new features.

Hey, I remember those terms from when I took biology! I wish I could still remember what their use was. I don't remember them being related to kittens though. Anyway the game was nice,

I love processing, 2 of my appstore games are made in Codea, which is a processing based engine (2d/3d)...

This is a nice start. Now that you have a working game, you can polish it up into a fuller version. Nice work for 48 hours. And hooray Processing!

Good start. The piano notes in the back are nice. This is a functional game and that says a lot. Good luck in the future.

Nice concept. I think the visual and text effect of collecting cell parts gave a nice sense of accomplishment. The music was nice and simple, like the gameplay. I had fun.

Also, here's a minor glitch with the platform physics. If you're holding Up, and you're standing above a block, you should jump. But, you forgot to add a check to make sure your velocity is going downwards, so that you don't jump immediately when jumping up the side of a block.
