This is how being from "da hood" is like, right?

Nice, works better than the previous version for sure.  Beer!

However, now if you land on the apples coming from the side there's a chance that you'll push the apple sideways in the air. It actually made an instance of level 2 unbeatable.

Good luck.

A very good entry. Only problem is that I found level 2 a bit hardcore (I dunno  if they are randomized, in which case, level2 might be different to everybody?)
Yes, the levels are different each time you start the game. Wasn't that one of the requirements of this competition?
Anyway, what is so difficult, if I may ask? I always though it is a bit too easy.

Aww, not this bug again. Seems like I have to do another bugfix-release, so thanks for testing!  Gentleman (But it should still be solvable)

Very nice!   Beer!
I personally would have gone with slightly more sedate music, but it worked.  I think procedurally generated platformers are definitely a challenge, and I think your solution worked out well.  Initially I was irritated thinking I had lost by bumping some of the apples with my head, causing them to fall and removing crucial platforms, but I noticed that they re-spawned after a while.  A good plan, though it might help to speed that process up just a bit. It would also be nice if there was a way to distinguish between apples that fall and those that float some direction, but that's easily done.
Very fine work!
Cheers,

Thanks for the feedback! You are right, that respawn-time was too long.
Here's the bugfixed version... (sorry for the delay, but maybe it is not too late)  Embarrassed

darbysrun.zip

V1.2:
  - Darby survives jumps from greater heights
  - apples respawn in half of the time now
  - Darby's air supply and score is displayed now
  - bug fixed: walking on apples do not move them anymore
