Chalk Run is an arcade-style survival platformer that takes place on a chalkboard.

You play as a chalk-drawn stick figure and you must use jumping tricks to maneuver around the screen as one hand draws a series of platforms in chalk while another seeks to rub them all off. How long will you last?

I don't expect this to win at all... I kind of rushed it, since I'm busy with college at the moment. Consequently, there are bugs in there I never got round to fixing, but with the submission hour coming shortly I decided to release it in a pretty much complete form. It's my first Ludum Dare (or Game Jam in general), so please let me know what you think :D

This was actually really enjoyable, I think the speed at which tiles are drawn and removed could actually stand to be sped up a bit to increase the challenge, my high score was >600. This was a fantastic first entry, and it could stand to have more eyeballs on it. I highly recommend playing other folks' games to increase your coolness.

Nice concept, and I think it matches the theme perfectly, with the "world" shrinking by erasing platforms.

The gameplay is very clear as soon as the other hand starts deleting platforms.

Maybe there should be more challenge, or at least give me a purpose other than just survive (like collecting coins, taking powerups, ...).

A great job for a first Ludum Dare submission!
