I feel like I want to play timed sessions of this game.  Like, see how far I can get in X amount of seconds, and see how many points I can get in X amount of seconds.  The seemingly infinite playtime kinda bores me after awhile and I feel like if it were segmented out into play sessions I would be a lot more addicted to it than I already am.

[TheDustin]

I think timed sessions would be a fine addition as well; I thought the distance one was similar till I hit the checkpoint and was given further distance. If you have a finite constraint it'd be even more addicting.

2 minute Timed Sessions would be great for the iPhone version.

Time Attack is in fact a two-minute, no-checkpoint game. Were you wanting two-minute versions of the other modes as well?

And given how thoroughly this game has taken off already I am very seriously looking into an iPhone port at this point, so I thank you all for the encouragement.

Oh, okay.  Time Attack didn't seem like it was describing that.  I thought it was something like.... fastest time... to do something...

I definitely want a time limit though on distance and bonuses separate though.  Like a mode that is 2 minutes to go as far as I can, and a mode that's 2 minutes to get as many points as I can.

Just got 88735 in bonus mode. After struggling to break past 50k, I discovered the secret miracle of the pancake bonus.

brilliant game.

i think pancake bonus is too large and should be smaller than a sweet bonus (maybe 100?)

[NMcCoy]

Noted for if I revisit this game at some point. Keep in mind the sweet chain bonus keeps increasing, though, if you can keep the chain going.

[ortoslon]

yes but pancake boni are very easy to get

28K in Time Attack

[NMcCoy]

Wow, I'm thoroughly impressed. You've soundly trounced my high score there, to say the least.   

[r.kachowski]

this is awesome. the particles and sfx really work together to make it feel fast and carefree 

i think the height indicator needs to be clearer though, it's hard to get a feel for how fast i'm falling from a great height and the pulsing circles throw me off

[NMcCoy]

For those of you having issues with loading, I've uploaded a version with no sound. Let me know if this helps?

[X3N]

Wonderful game!
iPhone version, please

Played some more, your game makes me smile.
Seems like I got more pancake bonus than air-time bonus, though maybe this is intentional strategy: crash to score more points but slow down.. ohwait. If I was getting lots of "Sweet" chains, they would be worth more

Any chance of widening the visible area, so we can predict more?

[ortoslon]

silent version loads just as slow but runs smoother.

+1 to widescreen version

[X3N]

Instead of widescreen or in addition, you could show a graph of the upcoming terrain. Anything to give more information to the player

Hmm, are the sound files still in the 'data' folder?  Even if you're not loading them, I think processing will still stick everything in the data folder in the jar file it generates, so that could be a reason it would load just as slow.  Just a guess!

edit: yeah, I checked and you have ~10.5 megs of sound files in game04_wavespark_nosound.jar under the data folder.

[NMcCoy]

Huh. It left the files in the jar after I'd deleted them from the data folder. Fixed now. Thanks for the heads-up on that.

Also, this game has gotten rather popular, apparently. Making me a little nervous to be honest.
