We used Construct 2 which has all the collision and movement handling built in. I would have prefered to go with lwjgl so we could tune the basic mechanics more.

I'll just do some side projects iwth other tools to get ready for the next one in december. ;)"},{"author_name":"scoots","author_uid":"14011","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 6:13pm","epoch":1346263680,"text":"Fun game.

Advice time: You shouldn't make the camera that zoomed in if the character can move that fast. Generally you want to be able to have at least 3 seconds of notice of what's ahead when running at full speed. You also need to consider this for jumping and vertical speed. Also, the controls should be closer together. It's awkward needing to use the whole width of my left hand when I only need them for 2 keys. It would have been better to make them Z and X or something to that effect, which would enable me to comfortably rest my hand. With R being Respawn, D and F would have made good tab\/space alternatives, because then I don't have to move my hand. These were the 2 main bad points. I don't really have any other gripes. I hope to see what you can pull off next Ludum Dare. Until then~"},{"author_name":"PaulSB","author_uid":"1626","time":"Sep 6, 2012 @ 10:10pm","epoch":1346969100,"text":"Slippery movement was a bit frustrating, wasn't really obvious when I was getting hurt and how I was to be punished.
