Hey Guys!

My first 2D Game EVER!

I was board, and then an Idea struck me. Why not make a 2d game with sprites, that looks like a 3d game? So that`s what I did. I made a game that is only made up of images, but it looks 3d.

A lot will say that this isn`t anything special. If you think that, then try making something like this. You will quickly change your mind.

So, prepare to be amazed by something that has never come across this forum yet: Mine riders!

Controls:
upkey=jump
leftkey=left
rightkey=right

Every turn or jump you make will use your power. Try to use as little as you can. My score is at 479

Please comment!

@ Alucard94
Yeh, corse it is.

@ TheComet
I'm sorry, after I downloaded it, I ran it and its actually suprisingly good given how you've made it.

I was quite impressed but found it annoying the way if you jump to late you blow up (even when there is still a good, foot of track left before the hole in the floor)

Also I found a random bug when I didn't make it across a jump; pressing enter to restart just kept blowing me up instantly because the level was starting half way across a hole. :S

I`ll fix that. I just need to make the frames a little later.

WHOOOPS! That doesn`t sound too good. I`ll fix that to.

Yep, all of the frames where rendered in DBC.

Very cool! Runs smooth and fast. Doesnt look 2d. Some of the transitions seem a little abrupt - corners appear from "nowhere", but you get used to them. I also experienced "exploding on restart" bug after falling down hole. I can get around 410 or so points. Couldn't beat your score.

nice start. please brighten things up a bit, though? sometimes hard to see. also, when i miss a turn and blow up, it's showing the opposite turn for some reason. ie, right turn ahead that i miss = blow-up with left turn showing. and, same "restart in hole" as mentioned already. otherwise, solid, basic fun. good when i only have 10 minutes to quell a gaming thirst.

thanks for sharing!

Certainly an interesting approach to creating a game.
There were several bugs, but a fun game nonetheless.

Really nice, I remember making a game like this a while ago(2d that looks like 3d). But I never managed to make it fun.
Great work!

Thanks Guys!

I have fixed the explode-when-restarting-after-dying-at-the-jump-bug and added a 2 player option. I am also thinking of adding something else to the track. What do you think? Right now, up=jump, left=left, right=right. What should I do with the down button?

Duck under something? Vampire bats? Stalagtites? Beam?

@ TheComet
Yeh I think a stalactite or 3 would be the most plausable obstacle, seeing as anything else on the ceiling would seem out of place. (And I don't think hitting bats at that speed would be much of a threat.)

Sounds good. And I`ll make it, that if you hit it, you just lose power, but you don`t die.

That`s because the sprite that displays the background is mirrored(so I don`t need to make images for the opposite curve), but when you die, the sprite restores to it`s original image.

Bad news. I am banned from my XP computer(the one I program on) for a week, and can only respond on the computers at school. So, I won`t be able to work on this for the next week.

True, but if they are pre-rendered images that are not generated by the game itself (in the download), then it`s IS 2D... But who cares? We could argue for ever about that!
