This week's game is about reckless stupidity in the face of adversity. This game was also my Ludum Dare 17 entry (I've slightly tweaked the difficulty curve in the version posted here based on feedback after the competition deadline). Jump from sinking island to sinking island, making it as far as you can across the lava pool before inevitably perishing. Collect ice cubes to restore coolth, or pass them up in order to be even more impressive.

This game is dedicated to myself, without whom none of this would have been possible.

Go play it at NMcCoy.net!

my personal high score is 677 awesome. I hope that's a measure of how cool I am IRL.  i could really use some spare awesome!

Nice game, it's surprisingly fun considering how simple it is.
Also, I don't know why, but "coolth" made me laugh.

Lovely, simple concept.  I really like the way the platforms move in the direction of the edge your standing on (I know there's no "edge" but it's the best way I can describe it).  Nice work.

Heh. Right after checking this thread I went over to xkcd, and it was this:

Haha! That's awesome. I forgot that I used to do that as a kid all the time. Man did I get bored a lot..

Couldn't play =(

I got a white app frame with a big P, but nothing more than that. No prompt to install anything..

[NMcCoy]

That's actually the loading screen - give it a moment when it shows that, and it should run fine.

yeah, i noticed that, like 5 minutes after my post. by that time, i was too embarassed to edit my post..

good game!
