Infinite Tower by Eduardo

[raw]
made by Eduardo for LD34 (COMPO)
Jump and go up as much as you can to make more points.

If you are on the ground, you shot laser up, if you are jumping you shot lasers to your sides. Some blocks can't be killed!

There's gamepad support, the buttons depends on your gamapad. One button jump, the other one shot lasers.

Keyboard contols:
jump: K or Z or A

shoot: L or X or S

Known issues:

- Sometimes you can get stuck on the walls.
- The player can be killed if collide with a dying spike block

Edit: I fixed the code to generate levels, there was some crashes and a critical performance issue with the old code.

This is almost addictive.

I really like the concept, and it's very fun to.
However, every now and then the screen freezes and I end up dying due to this.
Good job though!

Very smooth. I love the repetitive nature of the game, I'm pretty sure I was playing for like 5min ,but it could have been an hour for all I know! so addicting!

Wow this is like the perfect mix of Doodle Jump and Awesome MeatBoy!! Super hard, I love the mechanics! I love the effect when the laser is shot. Sometimes I can get stuck in a corner, not sure if it's a feature or a bug? :) Really misses some good old arcade sound and music. Great job!

Really liked being able to try to get higher and higher. Not sure why the lasers would shoot horizontal though. seemed frustrating without adding much gameplay. Loved double jumping though and the randomized level generation.

Really solid two-button game! I love the low-fi graphical style. One small annoyance: after you shoot an enemy, it can still kill you until it has disappeared.

Good job! Challenging; seems like I either need to attack earlier or the blocks don't disappear quite quick enough--I end up dying to blocks I think I've destroyed. Probably just me not being that good though haha!

Simple game. Lacks some presentation in the game itself, it'll help in making the experience better.

This is really fun. an addictive. Great job. It did slow down for me on latter levels but that might have just been my pc.

The gameplay is really good, but it's kind of soiled by technical problems. You already know about the lag, but attacking is kind of...clunky. Graphics are nice and polished, however!

really addicting and fun, could easily see this being a huge time-sink for me on mobile, nice graphics, and nice gameplay.

Great work! :)

Very elegant. Took a moment or two to figure out some blocks are invulnerable. Would like to try a version where I can control side movement, but that would be a very different game.

Reminds me of Icy Tower, only more action focused. Nice.

A bit too challenging for me :D I can barely get to 3 or 4 :( But I love the concept and the style!

It's a fun, mindless sort of reaction game. Good for rapid replaying. Was having difficulties determining what my orientation is for shooting, though.
