The Triple Games: Jump, Jump Classic

by **CedarBranch** » August 19th, 2012, 7:29 pm

My first mini-game! It's also the first of the "Triple Games" series (not Level Series).
In this particular game, you are to travel through an obstacle course of increasing difficulty. It'll get so difficult that you'll implode with frustration.
There is a point system that indicates which type of medal you will receive after death (These medals are not tangible in any way. They do not show up on your account either. They are just fun add-ins to be used as a bragging right towards friends, or whatever.). Do you think you can get a Platinum Medal? If you get it, you may be one of the best players out there!
Learn more features, rules, etc by loading this level up!

Designer notes:
1) This level is not impossible, trust me!
2) How I managed to test the whole level was by moving the start position around, and then testing each area bit by bit until I got it right. I am not the best at this game. ; )
3) On the forums, you are free to post your best score if you wish, but do not FLUDD the topic. Just edit your post with each new record. I would like to see how skilled people on the forums are!
4) When posting on the topic for this level, please keep these things in mind:
a) I will not accept screenshots. Try to post a link to a video of you setting your high score. I fear that people would move the Start Position around and take a screenshot at like Sign #98, or something like that.
b) Your post doesn't HAVE to have a score. You can still tell me what you think about the level. I would like to see some feedback, constructive-criticism, and maybe suggestions!
c) Please try to post as few messages as you can! You can edit your post as much as you want, but please try not post too much! I want people to easily see what others posted, without having to look in-between selected individuals' posts.
5) I intentionally mixed different tile-sets, so I could make what I call a "Custom Preset Tile-set." I will hopefully use it for all of the mini-games involved with the "Triple Games" series.

Lag: Semi Low-High
(Lag Note: Depending on your computer's speed, the game may become unresponsive whenever you load the level [not play] or exit game-play. It'll usually be safe to click "No" on the pop-up window you may receive.)
Coin Count: 500
1-Up Count: 19

Version 1.1: Made the rotating blocks past point #6 a little easier. Added more coins
Version 1.11: Adjusted the moving green platform to be closer to the circling platforms (between points #4 and #5) to make the difficulty of that area more fair than before.

Personally, I had no big issues with lagging in this level on my laptop. It is usually slower with a fuller screen size.
And did you check out the sign on that floating, white brick platform at the beginning of the level?

You can try any point of the level out using the Training Mode.

(Still open to suggestions)

I only got to 4 on my first try.

Reaching 5 may take a couple tries. But after 6, just watch the rotating blocks carefully.

I could make the Green Medal a little easier to get, if you'd like.

(I'm glad that my mini-game got some attention!)

Hm, it's nice. There wasn't anything too interesting in there I got excited about, but I suppose it was well-executed simple platforming. Lag wasn't too much of an issue for me, but in the future I recommend not making them so... long. An x-value of 999 is really overboard, and this is a mini-game, not a giant thing that will make you cringe. Loading time was a problem for me, when you die it's frustrating to wait like 30 seconds so you can re-attempt the level.

I appreciate the effort that went into this, however.

3.3/5 -> 3/5

Thanks for the feedback. But, the reasons I made it so extensive were so that there would be more to do (and conquer), and to fit all 100 points. I understand the frustration of waiting half-a-minute after death. I was well-aware of the issue, but failed to make it faster. Believe this or not, but the whole level loaded five times faster sometime before the finishing touches. It left me befuddled when it plummeted in loading speed. Sorry about it.

Lastly, I can tell how there isn't that much to be excited about. This is actually just a kind of skill tester.
I did, however, spend 6 days of work into this straight (a total of a week and a half).

Conclusion: No one can make great things on each attempt.

At this point, you may start having some trouble. Nevertheless, maybe you'll get the blue medal.

some trouble.

How shall I reach the right end by the transition? The gap was much too huge. I don't know how I shall pass that. :3

But I think I wasn't bad at all for my first try.

It was a nice challenge. Only that part stopped me from continuing it.
