In Your Face City Trains

IYFCT is a silly little one-button game I've been working on the past couple of days.
The title comes from the Video Game Name Generator after I challenged myself to get 5 random names and make a game based on the best name.

It was initially supposed to be a quick 48-hour thing but I kinda like it, even though it's simple and silly, so I've decided to actually finish it.

• LÖVE package
• Windows binary (x86)
• Git

Instructions
The goal of the game is to survive as long as you can.
Jump over trains with closed doors and try (as much as possible) to run through trains with open doors to avoid birds and tunnels. Some open trains will give you coffee. When your coffee-meter is full, you have one extra life.

Controls

• Space: Jump
• R/Return: Restart
• 1-4: Set zoom level

TODO

• Add menus and game modes (story mode? challenges?) and difficulty settings
• Add more environments
• Prevent birds from spawning right in front of closed trains
• Add more sound effects (and some music¹)

¹If you make chiptunes and have something upbeat I can use, please drop a message.

This game is pretty nice! Sometimes I'm thinking it might be moving a little fast, but... I think I'm just not very good at this, haha. When I hit the birds, sometimes I (presume) hit them multiple times while still hanging, so it plays the "hit" sound effect repeatedly, 'stacking' it. Not sure how to fix that.

Does it progress?

Thanks for pointing the bird bug out. It's fixed now.
It's definitely too hard, I've just gotten way too good at it after testing it over and over again. Added an easier difficulty (and an even harder one). Not sure if it's still too hard.

• Fixed bird sound error
• Added splash screen
  
• Added 3 difficulties: "Normal", "Hard" and "OH GOD"

I am always a fan of the hardest difficulty having a ridiculous name like DEATH or whatever so this game is automatically the bes tin the world

Me too. I'm not a big fan of "OH GOD" though, but couldn't decide on anything since something like "HOLY SHIT" wouldn't really fit the style of the game. Right?

Finally had some time do a little work on this, not much though.

• Added gorges. They don't look very good so I'll probably have to do something about that later just like the clouds. For now:
  
• Added highscores. Individual highscores for each difficulty.
• Some other minor changes like pausing the game when losing focus and more.

I'm thinking about adding some kind of multiplayer but I can't decide how. Either some kind og pvp survival where you have X number of lives each and have to survive the longest or some kind of crazy coop. Hmm.

Nice game, although I suck at these type of things =] and you get automatic plus points for using Spamtron music in the trailer.
