Hi folks!

*UPDATE* new levels

At Nordic Game Jam, me and Jesse Venbrux teamed up and made a game called Shoot Stop Lollipop. We really liked the concept, so we have continued to work on it, on and off, since then. But too much time has passed now, so time to get it out!

Check it out here: http://www.ludosity.com/lollipop/
There's not much to explain, and I'll let you figure out the hook for yourselves.

As it says on the site, the game will be continually updated when we have new stuff, so please give feedback, and hopefully it'll get back into the game.

Cheers, Joel and Jesse

At the risk of setting off irony detectors, the slug moves really sluggishly...

[reallyjoel]

Hehe, I didn't realize he was a slug.. he's always just been Jumpman.. but now that you mention it =)

Too slow you say.. cool, I'll experiment a bit

Alot of people have found it hard.. I'd love to hear what you guys think of the difficulty.

The movement isn't very good. It feels like you used Unitys built in 3d physics? This (I know from experience) isn't very good when making a 2d game with unity.

Try using the character controller component (if this isn't what you're doing already).

It's a cool idea but a bit too hard. When I succeded it didn't feel like it was because of skill but rather luck.

EDIT:
Also, it seems your boxes are asleep on startup which can lead to weird happenings.

Blocks hanging mid-air when you start the level is by design

The movement code will get an overhaul soon.

Sometimes I would like to be able to start and stop physics at will, rather than just with a button - how about having x be a toggle?

Difficulty-wise, I find it hard to gauge, because the movement itself isn't that enjoyable for me yet.  From what I played (the first couple of levels), it was pretty enjoyable, though, and I think a movement overhaul will make things a thousand times more bearable.

The game has been updated! Jesse has made some new levels - what do you think?
