[Action Turnip!!!]

Turnnabalt mode is flawed

When looking at the high score I noticed that the turnnabalt ones were quite low the highest being just above 4,000. I can easily get 1,000 without trying, however I always die in a place that seems too difficult. The issue here is that it is too hard to judge how high you will jump due to the over sensitive jump button. In some situations it is essentially impossible. This makes this mode un-rewarding. It would be awesome if we could speed up our falls with the down button or somehow control the jump height better.

raitendo responds:

yeah, turnabalt is harder, but there are no instances where it really is impossible to make the jump. I agree the jump button is too sensitive in these cases, because sometimes you need to make a much smaller jump. your idea is really good, only this means turnabalt mode stops being a one-button game (not that it's really that important, but yeah that mode is a canabalt tribute, so...).

Maybe I should tweak it a bit though, make the platform jumping easier through making the distance between them smaller and making the small ones not appear as often. And make the speed faster instead... I'd love to hear your opinion on this, feel free to PM me.

Controls need some work

In a game like this it becomes increasingly annoying when the controls slide. Basically when you press the A or D the boat begins a rotation instead of just inching a bit in that direction. If you look at the recent penguin flying game, those controls worked well and allow for precise control. I believe that is the problem many people have with this game and lends to the high learning curve.

Graeme responds:

This game was actually in development before Learn to Fly came out. We were pretty comfortable with our control system at the time, as there wasn't a lot to compare with.
Maybe if a sequel is made, things like this will be addressed.
Thanks

Sweet

A very entertaining game. This game really helped me procrastinate these past days. Anyway how do you get the Panda Hater Achievement anyway? I have every thing else (Score140,000+ Shazam). Maybe I have to hate on pandas to get it, well here goes: Pandas suck, they are dumb and stupid, and fat, very fat, all they do is eat bamboo and nobody should care that they are endangered....achievement please!!

Coaly responds:

haha, if you die while you still have all your boosts, that's the panda hater achievement.

Great, but a little slow

This game looks awesome. The style is perfect, and the animation is fluid. The one thing is that it is slow. To make sure that it was not my computer (which can play COD4 easily) I put it down to low quality to rule that out. Since the actual picking up and jumping has a laps between the action and button press due to slow animation it tends to make the controls seem loose. Besides that it's great.

Buzzwerd responds:

Its not your computer most likely, its probably the browser trying to run flash. Mozilla tends to have the most problems, the others are slightly hindered as well. It's not something we've learned to fix yet, but we're trying to figure it out.
