Coloring Ball - Jump'n'Run - Winner Announced

Khris · Thu 23/08/2007 13:45:38

The objective: use the outline to create a mockup of a 2D Jump'n'Run game for a cellphone.
(A mockup is hand-made to look like a screenshot.)

The limits: keep the size at the given 128x128, don't use more than 32 colors.

EITHER: stick precisely to the outline
OR: use tiles, but stick to the general shape

EDIT:
inspiration:

And a first entry, great!
Keep 'em coming!

The icons in the top bar mean player 1-4. It's a multiplayer game (say, through bluetooth or whatever) and currently there's only 2 players, hence why the last two are greyed out.

This is a great topic. I'm surprised there aren't more entries.

Anyway, making this was the most fun I had in a long time.

(Tribute to Jetpack)

(26 Colors)
There are probably some stray colors in here, but even with those it's still under the limit.

Of course you are too good for me, but still:

This was my break, and it is original thus far...

EDIT: And of course, it's not jump 'n run, just platformer, for hwihc I apologise...

Khris · Mon 27/08/2007 23:57:55

Yay, two more

Come on guys, there are still three more days left.

voh · Tue 28/08/2007 15:55:11

I forgot the colour limit, so I exported it again so it's 32 colours exactly

DoorKnobHandle · Thu 30/08/2007 18:38:45

I'm working on something, please don't close this early!

Or maybe even consider a small deadline-extension?

Khris · Thu 30/08/2007 20:53:19

Sure, take your time. An additional day or two is fine by me.
In fact, I'd add a week, if it motivated more people to participate

Nikolas, are you hoping to increase your chance of winning by using subliminal messages?

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Thu 30/08/2007 21:40:30

Oh, but space boy, what messages would they be? All he's saying is that his game, presumably his mobile and hopefully even all of his life is "p0rn free". What a nice, moral, upstanding citizen we have in our midst. Let's stone him.

Of course! It's winning I value when entering any competition anywhere, especially in the AGS forums, in the colouring ball!

Um... does this count?

It's not exactly a run and jump game.. You play the squids by the way

EDIT: Forgot to scale it up.. Now it should be easier to see what's going on.

DoorKnobHandle · Fri 31/08/2007 19:44:14

Okay, I don't want to keep everybody else waiting any longer - and if I really wanted to add more to this little entry, I'd probably have to spent a lot more time on it. So here we go, it's not unfinished, but it isn't finished either.

128x128 with 32 colors...

I hope the shape is close enough - as you can see I went with the tiles approach (which is a lot more realistical in my opinion and experience, when working on a mobile-game) and I found it to be very hard to realize, I probably should have done as everybody else and sticked to simply coloring the given outline. But maybe doing it this way is worth of a few extra points in your books, Krishmuc...

Brad Newsom · Sat 01/09/2007 22:43:13

If I saw this comp earlier I would entered. Psh, the deadline has come an gone, and missed it by one day. >_<

Khris · Sun 02/09/2007 08:04:51

Brad, I'm gonna close this today at ~20.00 GMT, so you'd have still ten hours left to enter.

Brad Newsom · Sun 02/09/2007 09:04:06
