It turned out quite awesome in my opinion. There’s a weird collision bug when travelling very fast upwards but otherwise I’m very pleased with everything.
I decided very early in the competition that I would make a game about wall-jumping since wall-jumping games are awesome and that was all the motivation I needed. Took me a few hours to plan the structure of the application and then like one or two hours to get a working prototype to build upon.
I then spent about a day tweaking the physics and controls until I liked what I got, and went on to write the level editor. Then the only thing left to do was glue together the pieces and make a bunch of levels. All in all a project without any major issues :)

I don’t expect to win the competition or even place well as I think that the game might be too hard for most people, but I’m very satisfied with myself for throwing this together in about 6 days. Especially since I’ve had school and work as well.

Looking forward to the next pyweek as my entry then will be even more kick ass ;)
