:D Well that was probably the last game I thought of while making this, but thanks!

Finally got to play this.. it makes me happy in ways I'm not sure I'm able to explain.  So many wonderful tiny details, and the music just wraps it all together. If I had any complaint, it would be that the game becomes a little frenetic as you get higher up, and the music makes me long for a more gentle, relaxed activity once I'm near the top. But it's still beautiful. I really want to make a game as nice as this, someday. |

Thanks for the nice comments. :3
Some seeds are more challenging/hectic than others, but I see what you mean. I'll finetune the difficulty in the future, maybe do away with more hectic elements of the gameplay in favour of a more relaxed one.
I get the feeling I'll have to rewrite many aspects of this from scratch.

I liked this! Minus is supercute and the gameplay feels really nice... "understated" in a good way. I'm wondering about whether a good way to extend this sort of game, and encourage players to explore the various hectic/calm results of the PG is to link levels in a chain rather than one-offs. Pretty much like Rogue does (even if there's no levelling up), or maybe Outrun is a better model. Outrun is nice because the player makes a choice and then has to deal with it.... We need a PG idle design thoughts thread  |

Mmm... seems interesting, but if Minus kept going up he'd eventually end up in space and I'd have to give him a fishbowl helmet and have him jump asteroids and avoid flying saucers.  Yeah, I just KNOW somebody will tell me to implement just that. |

This game is one of my favourites...
I liked the feeling of cloud jumping. I think it has the heart in the right place.
Some feedback:
* I'm sure some parameter tweaking would make wonders for it...sometimes I got stuck and it was a little detracting. I just wanted to keep jumping!
* The "Lives" things feels wrong to me in this game...I liked the stormy clouds, but I would change their effect to something like "If lightning, push player. Otherwise, let the player fall through". This would allow me to do something special with the storm (getting a boost), would still demand some manouvering skills and would not remove the friendly feeling of the jumping.
Sorry if somebody mentioned this before...

You mean you didn't land on a cloud often or you really got stuck somehow and couldn't move? Please give me a bit more detail. * The "Lives" things feels wrong to me in this game...I liked the stormy clouds, but I would change their effect to something like "If lightning, push player.

I have been thinking of removing the possibility of 'death' and just make the player fall through the clouds for a short time when being hit. I'd still like to keep the hazards as actual hazards to your ascencion, but I'll see if I can create other elements that may do what you mentioned. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the feedback. |

That's odd. The download works fine for me.
I'll e-mail it to you then.
Hope you accept .RAR files.
Also, you might want to tell me your e-mail, maybe on a PM.

You mean you didn't land on a cloud often or you really got stuck somehow and couldn't move? Please give me a bit more detail. It's hard to explain...I think it's because I wanted the elevation to be more dynamic, I'm ok with not going at top speed, I'm ok with tripping and falling a bit, but I was eager to just race up most of the time. sometimes it took me several seconds to recover speed after missing a cloud. But I'm not trying to be objective with this particular item, it's just what I fantasized about the game |

Melly I liked the music and sprites. I just felt the jumping could be slightly more analogue perhaps? I got all the way to the top on my first go then fell all the way back down. Nice little game.

Analogue? What do you mean by that exactly? |

A slightly more bouncey / firction-ey / physics-ey feel? I don't know, it's hard for me to explain, I think of player movement in quite abstract ways, and usually tweak the numbers by 'feel' in my own games haha.
[edit 2: perhaps in this case I mean slightly more gravity, but balanced with friction? I'm not sure... It's a bit floaty... maybe you planned that to fit the theme, but I'd like a springier feel as he/she's a rabbit...]

The download works fine for me, but when I try to start it up I get an error message. It's the standard windows error: (I'm not using the english version so I'll try to translate)
"Minus.exe has encountered an error and needs to terminate"
Any ideas?

*sigh* I've heard of GameMaker games giving trouble for some people. I'm running a bit late now, but later I'll track down solutions.
