Picking Up Chicks is Hard When Your Car is a BMX is a new game using the Flixel framework.

This game is based on the Flixel framework.
Since Flixel has done the community a huge favor and open sourced the entire library, I am also open sourcing everything I make using it. The source code can be found as a link on the website.

I'd really like to become more of an active member here, so if there is anything here you have questions about, or like to use in your game, please ask.

I'm really interested in getting some quality feedback. Anything you think would make this game more fun. Please let me know.

its like canabalt with chicks and a bmx bike

not bad but the jump is too floaty, I run into walls a lot.

Not bad.  The game itself is pretty fun, the coins falling from the sky and bouncing is a nice touch.  Also, the player death explosion is entertaining.

I would say that some interface elements could use some work.  Mainly, you should have a start menu, if only so that I have time to read the controls focus on the window before the game starts.  As it is, I usually end up dying before I even start playing the game.

I'd also say it would be nice to be able to control the height of my jump by holding down the jump button longer/letting go of it sooner, but this is definitely a nice start so far.

I second what Malec said. Also, I'm no code junkie but if you could increase the appearance of the purple ramps that would be awesome.

Thanks for the feedback. The jump mechanic has been updated. It's got a Mario style `hold down for longer jumps` feel now.
