Log
22/06/2013: – Decided to release all 60 levels. It’s unpolished and lacking graphics, but it’s always something!
16/12/2012: – Added arcade mode, new tutorial, some new colors, tons of fixes, particles, wiped highscore db
15/9/2012: – Preparing and optimizing for mobile, fixing GC stuff, batching render calls
1/8/2012: – Fixed blackness bug, upgraded away3d, using later flash player. Fixed some graphics disposal bugs.
5/6/2012: – Bug fixes & polish
31/5/2012: – Smoother transition when game is completed
30/5/2012: – Added a loader – Fixed so save state is restored – Some minor bug fixes
27/5/2012:
– Small islands segment, long jump segment
– Simple single player plot
– Decide on a name (Lunerun)
– Added survivors highscore (complete all 32 levels)
13/5/2012: – Integrated highscores (iteration 2 of global highscores)
9/5/2012: – Some highscore fixes and refactoring. Note to self: climb more => code faster.
6/5/2012: – Global highscores (first iteration), skybox
1/5/2012: – Local highscore (time per level – not sure about the concept though)
28/4/2012: – Adjust gravity + speed + controls, fiddled with lighting and colors
22/4/2012: – Loops, slopes and hills
21/4/2012: – Add a donate PayPal button
19/4/2012:
– Friendlier curves
– Level transitions (no more snapping to the beginning of a level)
– Tutorial (on first level/first time playing)
– Textured ground (I really suck at rendering programming so there are some mipmap artifacts on the ground)
– Level indicator in game
– Run-time generated levels (now we can have infinite levels, it takes less memory and polygons – good for later mobile port)
When i went through a curve on level 32 i lost grip of the track and just fell of the map.
Thought you should know! π
im on level 45 it is hard cause it is timed
no its not
yah it’s not because i’m on level 51 and neather of them are timed
i can not beat 51 campaign mode
its no timed im on level 60 im stuk on it
can any one do the huge jump on level 51, if you can I can’t
i can i did it than i made it passed and then it made me go back to were i have to jump the ring.
lucky you im on level 2 cuz i stink
I had the same thing but, i need help on level 53. put a link to a video if you can.
I hate level 51 i can make it past the first jump but the second one is impossible
53 thats all i got to say
-Show us in which level we are
– Intersecting tracks not passable or out of reach
– 2 tracks, 1 underlying and one above, and you can switch between them (so when you fall you dont necessary die but it is harder down there and getting back upo is hard)
-Change the curves so you at least have like half a second to jump after a curve, right now its sometimes impossible
– makethe columns deflect you
imagine shortcuts where you have to jump in a curve to get deflected by a column to save some seconds, or even make them an essential part in some levels like having a turn like that like jumoing against a dead end to reach the track a bit higher (or lowerr).
but overall great game I played for like an hour now until im not getting further due to 3 killer kurves behind each other i can get like 1 maybe 2 but i always fail at one of them^^
Good night, nice weekend
wutzibu
ps. if you have a newer version loet me know^^
Thanks for your good feedback!
when i jump really far the track dosnt spwan and i die it gets really annoying when you are trying to get really high but die. i love the game though its really good
yea gets fushtrating
Man, level 51 is a bitch!~
yes this mega jump
dude, try 52, 45 MINUTES and i’ve still not done it, how are we expected to be able to pull off rapid fire jumps, the platforms move, the checkpoints make a shiny mew look common and that loop
let’s face it, this IS a rage game, it’s cat mario, it’s i wanna be the guy (only EVEN MORE IMPOSSIBLE) and it’s a bad racing game, honestly, what was the track baed on, the random route of a hot wheel with one fucked up tire?
i’m not calling this a bad game, it’s not, it’s honestly one of the best flash games i’ve ever played, but the difficulty is WAY too unforgiving,
i’m not some hardcore gamer, memorizing the whole map and certain points to pull off a speed run, i’m a casual gamer (get me on tf2 and it’s a different story, but i digress) and the learning curb is like taking on ganon from the original zelda…with only your sheild
fuck that dude, level 53
Dude try 54.
52 is a bitch!
Dude the 50’s are all hard but 60 is cake, i don’t understand it
pfft its easy when you know you dont have to jump on every single platform to get across certain areas π
guys that shit is kiddish compared to 60…
its been busting my balls!!!!!
I agree those jumps are impossible
on level 50 no it’s not a b****.
what i tried to say was there are kids on this website 9 and 10 year olds so stop saying bad words and this is comming from a 9 years old.
i beat level 51 try level 52 its really hard
The game is a great game, with a great ending.
definitely, was hoping for more a bigger contrast in levels once aboard the ship and on the other planet.
didn’t expect all 60 to be the campaign as a one continuous stage, still good
This game reminds me of Paris for some reason. I promise.
yeah..not sure about the duck-landing-sound π
Very fun game! This should be an IPod app! Good job, and keep it up!
In the corner it should have the level number, otherwise when you restart, you won’t know which level to start playing from. Otherwise, really fun, good work!
Oops, my bad, I didn’t figure out it saves progress…
nice game, wait for updates
PS. 18 and 21 lvl are terrible
I agree, I’m stuck on level 21!
Actually, now try level 22!
Actually, lvl 22 wasn’t very hard… I’m stuck on level 28.
Actually, lvl 22 was easy! Try lvl 31!!! 8D
Spikes and things to die on, gameover screen, time trial; I want to know how fast I made it threw a level.
Pause screen, I sometimes need to stop and answer my phone.
I think it would be cool if you could make more than one path to take, when you control gravity you can press the key to fall faster and drop on a different path.
Can you make a full screen key for f11? sorry I am to used to Minecraft.
Like you game even more thanks!
I going to make a lets play of this game and post a link to help, I think a brain storm with a blog or a form and the players can help give it a name.
I would like away to play this offline, tried to download it off the page but I only get the embedded swf loader, I even used a hex editor to look for the file location but it encrypted, thanks playchilla you made my day.
I don’t want to uploaded to another page, but you might be able to turn the swf flash into an windows exe and protect it from being riped or modified. loads of free software to do that.
Will fix many of the things you mentioned. Different paths would be cool to, will think about it. Will probably make it as a standalone desktop app as well. Thanks for your feedback!
could you add slopes?
Will do!
a pause shortcut would be nice (by pressing P for example)
Will add!
As mentioned on Twitter I really hope you make this game available on Android (And maybe iOS)
You bet!
I think that certain surfaces should slow you down, or speed you up, depending. I would also LOVE to see a user level creator. Thanks, and good luck with the game.
I think I will add some different surfaces, good ideas with the speed modifiers. I was also thinking of a breaking ground that you can run on but can’t jump. There will probably be an editor of some kind eventually. To start with probably a text file π
Thanks.
I think you should add new music like dubstep. Don’t know if that was mentioned or not. Also when you jump it should slow the music down until you hit the surface. And am I going to be able to download this soon!
I noticed the blue columns going Up & Down to the Music of the game. Soooo i got bored of the ingame music and turned it and all sounds of the game off.The columns were not moving. I put on some Approaching Nirvana (on YouTube) it lagged the game out, BUT i noticed the columns started moving to its beat!! My suggestion is to make it Lag out the game less OR make it so it detects your Music being played in Winamp (Or any other program) because at this stage it doesen’t detect it.
Sorry for any bad English and/or typos.
I have a few ideas one is for the name: PANEL RUN! another idea is a level designer witch i would luv! and the final is some sort
of story like a reason your running maybe your being chased by a monster or something? And i am a HUGE supporter of the infinite level option! the story thing is probably a dumb idea i thought i should say just in case so don’t boo me for speaking my mind. Anyways i see a lot of potential in this and am a supporter!
I will try to create some level format once I’ve worked out the nuts of the levels (curves, slopes, hills, loops etc). At that point I might reach out for help. Yes perhaps some kind of story. I’m certainly no story writer (I discovered when I made Shadowess) so I was originally thinking that I would stay away from that. However – if there is one that is easy to implement I might. Yes, infinite level is coming soon – also adding a random level name generator π
Thanks for the support!
just incase its not clear i believe we are all talking about the game Witch is currently named runner. If I’m wrong then Thats what I was talking about!
mute button no work!
wall running?
I like it!! Might add it.
can you add like a minecraft thing n here or not reply yes or no because i like minecraft and so do my freinds me and my freinds also love lunerun it’s awesome.
You should make this into an Apple/Android app π
With a 1 touch system, I’m sure it would have a lot of success!
GREAT AND ADDICTIVE GAME
Yes I will port for mobile devices! Thanks!
Well when you do produce an iphone/ipad version my money is right here waiting for you π
I love the game, but I think it would be a little better if there was a longer time to jump after heavily banked turns, other than this the game is perfect!
Wow, this is really fun! Here’s a suggestion-
Moving platforms would really take advantage of the ability to change gravity!
Anyways, this is an excellent game! Highly addictive! Also, when you say ios port, does that mean a universal app or not? This would look great on an i-pad.
How about seeds. Say you found a got a really good random generated leve, so you want to see if someone else could complete it, you can simply check the track’s seed and then other people can generate that track.
All tracks are the same for all ppl i think but are just randomly generated to begin with.
Would be cool if you added some more “stunts” i.e. corkscrews, helixes, downward spirals. Ya know, rollercoaster stuff haha
Sounds like a good idea, will add!
I made it to 27 then ragequit.
Yeah some levels are horribly hard. Will improve.
GOOD BOY!
could you make a indicator that you passed a level because when you play it feels like all one big level
also a fov slider? i would love to make it look like im going so extremely fast
You should have the music speed up the further in the game you go to give some more SUSPENSE. Would also be nice if there was a high score, if you die it resets the score O_O that way i can refer my friends and be like HEY CAN YOU BEAT MY SCORE? would be super awesome…although if you think its to much then fine =(
Woo, I beat it.
It’s a pretty abrupt ending, though, i was a bit confused at first. I like the difficulty though.
I would like to see what this ends up being.
I would like to see you get points. Say double backflip? And remove the “ahhh” sound. It’s annoying. Or add other sounds
Yeah I will remove them. And also will add some scoring, not sure what yet though. Thanks for the feedback
Add corkscrews those would be fun, also I think the levels need to be more diverse. level 32 is a keeper tho
Takes to long to load for me. :C
I found a bug
level 1 the tutorial level, after you finish the level the texture on the void is not there and will randomly come back, sometimes the next level, 3rd or 4th level or higher.
I think you where going for the blackness in the tutorial room, but it’s not a good transition, I was thinking more of a tutorial mode not a level, think of star fox when you learn how to fly around; it’s a training mode not a stage or level one, you need to add a main menu with the options.
the title name it important but whats the girls name, makes storing writing much more easy, but as I was playing this game I thought of portal, you are trying to escape your death so you use the portal gun to get away.
is this girl running away from something? Or is she like Sonic the hedgehog, just loves running fast?
is this girl human or digital, this game looks like line rider or something from a computerized world.
can’t wait for version 0.64 I love updates they are like opening up a gift. I think as you work on this Curse will make you a wiki, I think they will you just keep working this until is done.
I don’t have money but I say thanks, thank you lots! I like this game even more than pizza have a virtual slice of pie, it’s on me!
Yeah the ground is one large fixed plane that has an end. Will fix this. Yes, the tutorial is really simple, programming tutorials menus is so boring – so I tend to to as little as possible. I might have to fix it though if not sufficient.
True, I’ve been thinking about names for her but haven’t come up with anything I really liked. I like “Run, Lola, Run” – but thats already a movie π
Just uploaded 0.64 – it has some bugs where you can fall through the floor and such but I will have to fix that for the next update.
Thanks for your feedback!
I would like better there to be no name, no gender, because if it has a girl name, boys might want a boy name,
but if it’s a boy name, the girls might want a girl name.
like the sfx/bgm fire-bars more now, love the colors of them. the teal colored platforms are to hard to see the bright blue ones you had before there more easy to see.
Gravity might be to strong, I liked it more when it was like flying on the moon, not a black holes worth of g-force, but I can see more gravity being more of a challenge, I just found that I keep falling into the void by lightly taping the key, when I had to hold the key a had more control.
like the up hill fight you sometimes have to do, and the challenge is just epic.
for the names I found a good list of possible names http://www.census.gov/genealogy/names/dist.female.first
for the game name, I think this name might work, “Running the summit” there is no games that have that name, I checked it’s open.
Maybe add a reticule in the center of the screen for simulation sickness… the same they did in mirrorβs edge. Itβs a shame, cause this is a great game, and I canβt play it for more than 10 minutes without tossing my cookies.
(Oh, and are the red jumps inspired by the runner vision in mirrorβs edge?)
I noticed you took my advice with the gravity change, well-done. π
You should add some music stuff, like when your running very fast or up a loop the music will speed up but when you are flying in air high up it should slow down.
uhm, on the end of level 29 the track goes into the grid? and i cant get through….is this intentional? because ive tried it numerous times, i cant get through.
No this is a bug! Will fix it!
I managed to do it, but i had to jump earlier then go down fast, it wasnt easy π
hi where do you play it is there a button that says play anywhere cause i cant find it
Maybe you could add wasd to move your charecter on the curves?
Even though Im tempted to add more controls I want to make it a one button game. Also I need to keep in mind that I want it to work on mobiles easily.
After 1 hour with failing, crying and rageing I finaly did the game!
Jon give me a price π
Wow, i’m impressed!
I’vent managed yet. Think I will have to make it easier.
yeah do that.
Lvl 29 was The hardest lvl
Nah dont,
I did it too quickly π I want more π
I am now doing everything again but with taking shortcuts, jumping where i shouldnt to skip big pieces of the level π
Ahh, good! Guys is the time scoreing mechanism adding any fun? Or is it better to try finding another way of competing?
the time is fun π It is also fun to try “cheat” by jumping to another piece of track while in a corner π
maybe add an automatic levelgenerator. This would be great because you would have something to do after you completed the levels π
Perhaps a nultiplayer version where oyu run on the same track and try to beat the other player. It’s a great game, keep it up π
add upside-down platforms that go on like regular ones but upside down it can be like a sticky platform!
Jon look at this game: http://www.kongregate.com/games/player_03/run-2
I had a good idea for this game while playing it. It would be cool to be able to have music from your hard drive play through the game and move the ingame equalizer with the beat. That would be awesome to race around the track to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tupRBqsZd3A
Yeah, unfortunately I’m not sure if it’s possible (flash only seems to be able to detect tunes played in other flash applications but not otherwise). Perhaps it’s possible with a spotify API or something like that.
Could get past all the levels pre .65 but the new gravity leaves no room for error! haha Great game though. New colors look drastically better I must say! Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Thanks, yeah I know, it got harder and faster. There will probably be some more tweaks as well.
So far I like this game the best on the site I’m no huge fan of the others but this one is awesome!
I agree, I don’t really like Oedipus… Too hard, hate soundtrack. I’m talking about Oedipus.
Hey i loved this game could do with a pause menu though.
Made a review on youtube check it out like, comment and subscribe π
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vetqqOtGIR0&feature=plcp
Thanks Jordan! Will add pause menu!
little problem with the signup, my email is too long π
otherwise, awesome game, and the sound is quite good
Ahh, thanks will fix.
Finally got truth the 32 levels, I must say some parts are quite hard!
really good, I like the colors
can you put an option to have our best past time on a level visible in game, you know, for challenging yourself?
the sign up bit didnt let me type my full email ( too long) -_-
loving the new sky π
and the new “:D” smileys π
epic game cant wait till its finished =)
i can’t put my entire email in The Email text box
I can`t either π But grab game
It meant to say great π
my email can’t fit in the email box, please fix fast, I wanna play.
Fixed, now you can use 40 chars!
time to work on those highscores π
Will do this weekend – hopefully I will get them fully integrated in the game.
Here’s a list of names I’ve come up with, take one if you’d like. Maybe you could mention me in the game for finding a name?
-Free Runner
-Adrenaline
-Jumping Addiction
-Retrojump
-Parkour Srategy
-HardCore Parkour (OMG this ones my fav so far)
I’m gonna leave it at that, I cant find anything better than HCP, or HardCore Parkour. Its all yours, here ya go, on a nice silver platter. π
I have some other ideas that has to do with a simple story I might do. More to come. But I appreciate your help, thanks!
those names really in my opinion are lame… something more practical would be nice like I happen to think “panel run” would be ok but he said as of my suggestion he’s adding a simple plot so he could base it on that. but yeah “panel” run still isn’t that good either so… but either way its only my opinion.
Yeah, I’ve almost finished the plot now, it will probably be very obvious what movie I recently watched π Anyways, I’vent come up with a name yet – but I’m getting closer as the plot helps me.
Tristan- I understand your opinion, as the names weren’t to be too practical, but a bit catchy.
Jon-looking forward to the backstory, as well as a set name. Fun game nonetheless.
Actually, the following month, when you (I think) finished the plot (oh yeah, I’m still on lvl 28) I still don’t
know the movie you’re talking about. π
I forgot my account password. π
I’m Soyrux, btw. My e-mail is soyrux@gmail.com
Sorry, I can’t see the passwords in db (encrypted). I might have to add “reset password” or something like that. Sorry.
Oh well. Will that be coming soon? Do you mind if I make a second account?
Also, I made a subreddit for Lunerun: http://www.reddit.com/r/lunerun/
About the new version, I wish there was a way to provide more warning about the long jumps. It is so easy to not see one coming. Maybe uncharacteristically sharp hills?
Wow cool! No problems with accounts..
Yes I think that is a very good idea, right now you kind of have to guess if it’s a long jump or not will figure something out.
I’m having another problem that seems to be new; every time I come back to play the game again all my progress has been wiped. Is that a bug or a feature?
Also, how are you getting scores so high in the first two levels? It’s largely flat and I see no significant way to accelerate.
I noticed you can gain speed in the first loop by jumping on the way up!
And yes that is a bug, I will fix it during the week!
“Adjust gravity + speed + controls, fiddled with lighting and colors”
made the game bad for me tbh..
That is a shame – in what way? Does it make it harder?
it doesn’t make it harder at all really(in the later lvls), it’s easier to get down quicker which is necessary in lvls 20-30+
just got ranked 4 on lvl 32 π
but it doesn’t matter too much.. I already got used to the “new” mechanism but i prefered the old one nonetheless
Well, something certainly changed since I last played to slow this way down. In full screen, the game would better be called “Plodder,” as it isn’t even moving at the walking pace I get with the smaller view.
Weird. Do you know what version number was working last for you?
I like being able to see the highscores in game, but would like to be able to see a level’s highscores without being in that level. Also, in level 32 I’m currently in 7th, so it could show from the 1st to me no problem, but it jump straight from 3 to 7
True, will fix!
Why is lvl 25 like 3 times harder then lvl 30 – 31 – 32 together?
having difficulties with 25 and did 30 to 32 in one go?
By chance, levels are randomly generated and that might happen.
To be honest, I like the name runner more than anything else I can think of. Also, a local multiplayer race mode would be a really interesting thing to see.
-Pieman47
Wow very addicting game! Well done. I just wanted to ask you if you are supposed to be able to use the mouse instead of the spacebar? π Don’t know if this is a bug
-Frederik
Add obstacles you have to jump over mid track!
like little beams they have in those five meter dashes!
well something like that
Just curious, what program is this game made with? What other gamed have been made from this program?
Made with flash (as3) – there are tons of games made with that.
This game destroyed my spacebar! LoL π And I just played it one night…
It seems to have broken a few spacebars now π thanks for playing.
Time to start using your left mouse button. π
can you please add breaks and revirse π
I like the story π
but I’m currently stuck in level 31 π
Thanks! Yeah, level 31 is the hardest level. It is really hard. 32 is much easier.
can you please add pradice level? (good for level 31) π
:3
π
is the long jump on level 20 passable? i havent been able to make it.
Yes, gain speed by jumping in the up part of the hill, then hold space while landing in the downhill slope!
To jon,
I want to inform you that I cant get past level 1 its pitch black please fix
yours truley kyle.a.oseman
cant make the jump on 1-20
just shows black screen :/ plz fix
other than that luv the game especialy the new levels and story π
keep improving cause this is addictive and awesome btw recording the new review when black screen issue is fixed
Hey, There is an impassable long jump on level 31. For me anyways. I release at the last second and still miss the next path by at least 15 grid spaces. Please fix π
its not loading all the graphics for me and level one doesn’t work for me
Will take a look!
The first level does not load at all. Only a black screen. I can hear the guy running and jumping but I can’t see anything. And is something supposed to happen when i beat the 33. level. It’s just a black screen again. The rest of the game is awesome. Congratulations!
Same as above two, when i start from the second level it’s fine, but when i start from the bedinning the cutscene and the text show up, but I get a black screen till the end of the game. Also, the end cutscene doesn’t load at all.
I have some suggestions:
1. can make level
2. additional possibles can buy
3. virtual cash
and that all
And this game is very good and hard some levels. And when don’t understand level like 20 it seems hard
Hey, Jon! I was playing your game in a while! Its very awesome! A have an idea for you! You could add experience, gained from running. Then gaining up levels with that experience and buying awesome gadgets! That will be sooo awesome!
Level 1 does not load, just has a black screen.
Just a question why is 32 locked i want to see part 2… π
Hi, I’ve not had time to work on lune run lately. But I will do during the autumn.
the levels with the hills were you have to build up speed and then land in the slope to make it across a HUGE gap are really hard for me to do!
It won’t show anything in-game but the intro, hud and text. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Its a nasty bug!! Start on level 2! Will fix during autumn!
make it load faster, i cant even get into the game itself couse it just wont load
Oh, will look into it! Thanks.
Seems to be loading for me.
I’ve made a small update that should fix the level 1 blackness and finishing the game blackness.
It says press space and i press it and nothing happens.
Weird, have you clicked in on the flash to give it focus? Is it all black or can you see the track etc?
Ideas for 1.00
-Multiplayer (both run on same track, or two adjacent tracks of different colors that exactly mirror each other)
-Finish line for those tracks
-A “YOU WON with a time of XX.XX!” when you beat the other racer or “YOU LOSE time:XX.XX”
-Map customizer (I know, lots of code, sorry)
-Complete story
-Map trading
-Record Time trading
-Give the runner a body and legs (if it doesnt already have one)
-Facebook app?
-Share on Facebook
-More elements (springboards, boost, etc.)
-texture change
-more music
-easter eggs?
-optional paths
-more stories with more levels (Not in the near future)
That’s all I can think of at the moment. Couldn’t play the game too well, running on an exceptionally slow laptop. But I hope to get a new one soon.
Thanks for you ideas! I’m going to dedicate this weekend to get a new beta out.
I don’t have much time so even if I would love to add multiplayer I can’t do it now (or the game will stay half finished forever). So I’m going to try to wrap up the single player part, with the story etc.
Here are some of the things I hope I can release on Sunday:
– Moving platforms
– Particles
– Speed boosters
– 60 campaign levels (perhaps not all unlocked)
– Skyscraper city
– Some arcade mode (just run as far as possible on a random track and collect stuff for score?)
– New menu structure
On top of that I really like you suggestions and will add some of them (easy to implement, yes, springboards are probably coming in a later version). Lol, she has arms and legs and a head but no torso. I want to add something so you can see her as third person. Facebook would also be cool, then it would be cool to compete with friends. And yes, I’ll to put easter eggs in eventually π
So much to do, so little time π Back to work! Thanks for feedback.
Not a problem, glad I could help. I do like the moving platform idea, only it might be buggy. It seems complicated to have a solid moving platform without falling through or crashing the game (if thats even possible lol). The arcade mode sounds fun, kinda like a running version of Pac-man without enemies. Maybe implement obstacles like high walls or hoops? Also, without changing the game too much, I got the idea of parkour (adding wall climb, flips, wall run, etc.) And finally, I can’t wait to see what you’ve got in store for a menu, particles, and the skyscraper city. Get to work my slave. Make me a game. XD
I think I managed to get the movement of the platforms right actually. The look of the menu will still be the same but new structure, I’ll let someone with graphics talent look on the design later. Unfortunately I’m a bit tired from a party yesterday, so I can’t really think straight – so I think I will have to focus on making levels more balanced and fun today. Let’s see if it’s decent enough to update tonight :D.
Obstacles are a good idea, walls should be pretty easy to get in there!
It is pretty good. Nice feel of the game, even though it is quite simple.
Quite a good challenge really. I just can’t get past level 12 with the double loop then jump. π
So, great game! π
Thanks! Working on the next update!
Dude this is the best game ever…. MORE MORE MOOOOOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!
I really like what it has become, but will we every be able to race online?
Thanks!
Sorry, think that is not going to happen, maybe if I had more spare time over :/
Nice update! But is the campaign supposed to end at the buildings rising?
Oh you answered it in the game lol
Yes π Im happy you like the changes!
please release the next update and why is the update taking so LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG????????????
Sorry, I don’t have much time now days π
guys your awesome but i want to play the full game
guys your awesome but i want to play the full game awesome game i play this when it was called runner
Just so you know: I am actually ThePieMan, haven’t played in a while: but why no go past buildings?!?!?! π
I am actually ThePieMan, haven’t got on in a while, don’t remember mah password. But: Why does it stop at the dang buildings?!?! I just wanna play the full campaign D:
Once I get some time over I will finish it!
Oops, duplicates
Love it! It really improves on Fotonica in loads of ways. The tracks have way more variety (thanks to fun slopes and curves), the music is really catchy (although maybe not as unique as Fotonica’s) and it is overall a lot more fun! Can’t wait to see more updates for the game. Loving the story too! Although, sometimes the text doesn’t appear on the screen, which isn’t too good :S
Add third person view!!! PWEASE!!!
Why does it stop at level 16? >:(
And I realize I already asked.
Awesome! Really! I feel like i’m un a roller coaster and it’s as challenging as it should be! Great job!
PS: i’m interested in what technos/techniques you used to build this game π
Thanks, it is written in AS3 with FlexDevelop for flash.
I love this game, but I’m stuck on level 51. Particularly the long jumps. I miss the first long jump most of the time, but I’ve made it to the second long jump a few times and never made it across. Am I misunderstanding the momentum of the game?
Edit: I think this instruction: “Land in slopes and hold space to gain speed (for looong jumps)” is a bit unclear. Perhaps it should read, “Land on downward slopes and hold space to gain speed…”. Just a suggestion. Otherwise great game.
Beat the game, feeling accomplished. I ran into a bug on level 41, where a part of the track intersects itself, after it stopped me completely and made me fall, the next try it was fixed.
try level 51
Level 52 is a pain. Almost all the difficulty comes from not being able to understand what the layout of the tracks is as you are running coupled with no good way to make incremental progress makes it unpassable for me.
Super sad, finally made it through level 52 only to be greeted by another level where you can’t tell how high the moving platforms are or where they actually end only now there aren’t even any cool curves and the background is completely baron. The first 50 levels may not have been as challenging but they where much more enjoyable than this.
this is an excellent game! Can’t wait to see what it becomes. I hope it will be filled out with cool graphics, of course.
There’s a glitch with level 53. if you go from level 52 into 53 after the first slope there’s a far jump you can make it to the next landing point that curves around and brings you to more levitating platforms. If you miss and have to restart 53, the jump after the first slope is no longer the curve that’s far, but possible to hit, you just go directly to levitating platforms that no matter how fast you go and how close you are to the end of the first slope, you can not reach the first levitating platform. I’ve tried over and over and can not make it. Have to reload the page and start from 52 to try once again but so far no luck on beating 53 -_-
Ok. While the glitch is still there…just for anyone that got really frustrated like and didn’t want to wait for an update to continue the game….if you restart 53 I finally found a way to make the long jump from the first slope to the moving platforms. you have to run then jump before the uphill slope, then come down on the downhill slope to speed up again before the jump and you will be able make it π enjoy!
This is so addictive, made it to 51 then finally gave up
Yeah, I agree 52 was a pain, but then I came to 54….I….I just can’t.
lvl 51…. arghhhh……
lvl 53 -_-;
The level of precision required for this game is insane >.<
Is level 60 possible to beat? I’ve been trying and can’t make it to the orange platform at the end ):
It is, I promise!
Dude level 52 UGHHH
Hey.. loved this game.. spent like a good hour here π
I spent nearly two hours trying to get through this game. There are only a few things I’d suggest.
-Add a timer and death counter that shows when you finish. I would love to know how many times I died, because I’m pretty sure I was running up on 1000.
-Have a better difficulty curve, if possible. The first few levels teach well, then the middle 40 are pretty simple, nearly no tricks. The last 10 levels are like trying to survive a night in the fifth ring of Hell.
Otherwise, fantastic game. Good work. I hate you. (Just kidding.)
Ahhhhhh I beat it!!!!! π Sick game! Had its frustrating parts for sure but was always that one jump that you just nearly miss for a good few tries that keeps that addictive need to beat it
Yo llegue al nivel 60 y lo termine π pasando al nivel 61, es decir, a su fin, me gusto mucho el juego, es muy bueno, se ve simple pero es realmente difΓcil, asΓ que felicidades por haber inventado esto π saludos y besos desde Chile.
Got stuck on lvl 52
Requests related to the difficulty of reducing 53 is too hard
PleaseοΌοΌοΌοΌοΌ
level 51 the long jump that comes after the loop is ridiculous I’ve tried it over a hundred timesit needs to be a tad bit shorter not by much though
Nice game. Have some issues though. I have no graphics besides the track itself (so “the moon” in the campaign just pans the camera to the black sky without anything being there). this is probably a problem with FF 23 or because I’m running Linux (I think it’s the FF version though).
Also, the difficulty ramp at level 50 is way too much. level 1 to 50 were a breeze (but pleasurable) and suddenly level 51 is pure WTF. I spent probably twice as long beating 51 to 53 as I did beating 1-50. very frustratiing. at the very least make the levels half as long so we don’t have to do two night-impossible jumps in a single one.
53 is WAY to hard. I’ve spent two days on it now and it’s so frustrating. LOVE LOVE this game though I’m so addicted! Just ready to move past π
Great concept, the controls are a bit unresponsive and sometimes it glitches the acceleration I suppose it is due to the “gravity” acceleration impact that makes the little dude stop oppon falling on the ground but it a good game overal
OK here is my honest take on your game. I love it. I really do. It has the right level of difficulty that if you work at it, you will succeed. The one GLARING problem I have with it though, is the parts where the tracks move. That does not challenge me, that only pisses me off so much I almost threw my keyboard a few times. I can not study the map, learn path, adapt, and pass it with skill when the track is different every time. The ONLY way I got through the moving tracks section was luck after 20-40 mins of trying. I got the stationary tracks perfect, then the moving track would just screw me over, time and again because one would be above your head, and you instantly are running on it, instead of flying through the air, and you can’t have time to jump again.
I am not the kind of gamer that breaks his controllers after he can’t get a level/boss. I’m not that person. But, your moving tracks make me that person, and I hate it.
Other than that, it is a good game.
omg this is 100% me
i HATE the moving platforms with a passion – they’re so unpredictable like you said
ugh plus the game didn’t save my progress once after I beat level 53 – then again after i beat 54 so I now I have to do those over again
Love the game π But the harder level re-load spots are too far apart. The game turns from fun to tedious when I have to do long complicated sections over and over just to try one more complicated section at the end….level 51… I find the jump times are SO specific for those long jumps that having to do multiple ones in one level is ridiculous and detracts from the fun of the game.
But overall, awesome job, simple and fun, I like the little story line to go along with it too, nice work π
Fuck this shit… i’m at 53 screaming at the screen.
Seriously awesome game. As an adult i never thought i would be tempted to throw my computer across the room. Beat the game though!
A truly wonderful game. XD My boyfriend introduced it to me.. We did our best to try and beat each other. I have completed the game at least 4 times. XD Still enjoy it.
Haha, have you created a app version for it yet? If so.. What would it be called? I tried looking under Lunerun and got no results..
Congrats on the game. I am sure it took plenty of time to fix all the little bugs and figure out the game over all. You did wonderful in the end. =) Thanks for the fun game to play after a long day of work!
Thanks! There is no mobile app yet, but the plan is the build one at some point!
you should close the gap on level 51
Could you make the respawn a bit quicker? I’m getting bored of watching myself fall for too long when I’m failing one particular section really hard… Otherwise is fun, though could maybe add a mute button in game? Or make it easier to stop playing π
Sure. Will do that for the next update (which I unfortunately have no idea when it will take place).
great game! im very impressed. the gap in 51 is impossible to jump though, i have no idea how to pass the level.
otherwise, great job!
On level 60, I have managed to glitch right through the hoop about 7 times. Is it just where you land? Otherwise great game. It took me forever to beat. Who would have thought a one button game could be so hard?
I hate how when you die, you have to fall for about 10 seconds. Can you please have us respawn faster?
ok, i understand that it’s the lat levels and it’s surppost to be HARD but come on, i’ve been on 53 for a solid HOUR now.
i know, it’s gonna be hard but not IMPOSSIBLE, honestly, who are you expecting to play this to win? it can’t be done, a speed run is out of the question and a no death run, NO FUCKING CHANCE.
the check points are miles apart, the jumps are hard to pull off and you feel like your flouting on a pocket of air, hell, IT didn’t have this much floating, and the clown was obsessed with them in that movie
the platforms are plentiful at first but pass 50 and they’re no where, it’s like trying to stab a fly with a needle, hard, infuriating, and makes you want to rip your teeth out with your bare hands, it’s just a fucking AGONIZING experience
Put a music off/on thing
Amazing game. would be great with a graphics update and compatibility with the Oculus Rift.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!
Not sure if I failed to make it in time because the moon crashed or if thats just how it is….
haters gonna hate but i loved this game
Okay, the concept is really neat and when you manage to actually get going you feel cool doing it. Problem here is i cant get a feel for my character’s abilities. In other games, what a character can do feels consistent and you get a feel for their abilities after a while. Here I just feel like im in a mad rush with a mild idea of what I can do. I never know whether I’m going to fly past the platform I aimed for, or fall short with a mile of space in between. In the first several levels I was playing the game hoping I was doing it right, and thats the norm for most games, but here the feeling never subsides and any progress I make seems more like blind luck than anything. Speaking of blind, I have very little information about what’s in front of me. I know I’ll need to jump. but considering the fact that this game focuses around different ways of jumping, what little idea you have of what’s ahead is vague at best. This game could be going places, but where it is just makes me want to burn my computer.
One hell of a game, level 55 always gets for a while, but then I push past it. Found it today, beat it twice today.
love Love LOVE the difficulty curve!!!! Fast-paced, good music, clear progress save mechanic.
Best video game I’ve played in the past year, any and all categories.
great soundtrack, and pretty addicting game… but level 51 is ridiculous! How the hell do you make that jump??!!!
You make long jumps by jumping before the hill. Like in lvl 52, you’d jump so that you dip into the decline and then go up the 2nd ramp to the jump point. So jump over the first half of a hill and then run on the 2nd half. It makes you go faster and thus jump further.
Also, comments should be sorted new to old, with the comment box at the top. But that’s just a suggestion.
This game is amazing. This is million dollar runner idea for mobile.
Lvl 52 in the campaign before I had to stop for a bit.
I’d love to work on the Mobile version of this…..
Man, this game is still fun after all those years!
This is the best game on the internet. Keep up the good work and maybe make a sequel.
I have held every single button on my keyboard. But none of them are doing anything. Can somebody please help me out?
Try clicking on the game with the mouse to give it focus.
Play this game while listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmc21V-zBq0 Total epicness!
Also level 53 is being a bad motherfucker to me
I agree I can’t get past 53 – it’s too long and the moving platforms make it un predictable
Love this game. Only request I could make is maybe make it possible to go back to the menu WITHOUT going through the whole game :/ hate having to refresh all the time
Just press the Esc button on your keyboard. That will take you back to the main menu.
Definitely just spent the last 2.5 hours of my life playing (and beating) that. Very challenging at some parts, but only until you understand the physics of the game, then it’s just a matter of timing. Well done!
Right so I came upon this game from Stumble Upon and I was cool, I’ll play it
After maybe 30 minutes I reached level 53 and let me tell you that level is next to impossible with the whole moving platforms and all. So I took a break and tried a few more times throughout the day and finally I gave up and went to bed.
Whenever I opened my laptop next – it forced me to reload all the pages so this decided it would be cool to start me over.
So I was like ok – we’ll try again
I caught up quickly and then lost at 53 again.
But, I only tried maybe 4 more times and I got it!
So then came level 54
This freaking level has taken me over a day and because of it, my computer just crashed (well it made me restart it – does that count as crashing?) So when I open it back up it makes me start over at level 1 again.
This is dumb and I’m somewhat mad.
I was determined to beat it- thinking that after 54 things should be easier, but now I have to start over and beat level 53 again
I might try tomorrow, but I’m so disappointedβ¦
idk
I AM STUCK ON 43!!!!! HELP!
i finally finished the game!!!!
took me 4 days but I FINISHED IT!!! Great game!
Does anyone else get the urge to drive a knife through their chest while playing this game?
Dude…level 53 is fucking impossible.
guys, 20-30 is nothing, i personally think the 50’s are the hardest
~sniper
I beat level 54 2X but it wont take me to 55, it goes back to the level choices. Let me through! Love love love the game!
Make some of the platforms on 53 a little longer
this game is awsome ps i need a bf or gf
I beat the game three times, bout to get fourth
hi r u a girl or boy
omg so i can not get past level 51 and im gettin a headache like frfr any tips for any levels past 51???
just stay calm and believe
It’s all about landing on slopes to get enough speed for those CRAZY long jumps. 3 steps before a jump is good. 4 is bad though. Aside from thatβ¦ Good luck! I can’t imagine it’s going to get any easier.
is it jst me or does his/her feet on the game look like french fries and does this game makes your head dizzy too??
This game is so addicting I absolutely love this game thanks for creating it xoxo..
A lot of the deaths feel unfair and trial and error
Also, the one button control scheme is TERRIBLE for trying to make quick dives and then jumps
Good idea
but needs some fixing
does anyone know how to Fucken beat level 51 before I kill myself?:)
no i don’t i cant make it past the 2nd jump it sucks
yes i do
i cant get past level 52 it is freaking hard can you give me a hint PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
If you can get to the point where you consistently get that long jump, then it’s kind of up to chance what the moving platforms are doing. If you’re lucky the line up just right. (it took me about an hour!!!) And the shock when I finally made it!!!
I love this game it’s awesome
level 51 is IMPOSSIBLE
like a boss
cool game it is not a fudging hard game it is awesome also play rhe ball games called something shadow it says bastard
sweet
I love it but I just can’t get passed level 27
Someone help I can’t get past level 51 it’s so hard if possible somebody leave a comment on how to beat it!!!
Thanks,
Mollie
i can beat it but i have to look back on the level first
level 51 is so hard
Ok thank you very much zacary!!!
Mollie
no problem and wht school do u go to
Stumbled on this game. LOVE the game!!! I would really love it on iOS! Right now I’m stuck on level 52 but I know I’l eventually get it. Reminds me of some of the (almost) impossible stunts you need to pull off in Mario. Polished graphics would be cool but not essential. A sequel would be nice too.
i can’t get past level 32
What state do you live in? zacary
indiana
What the f**k i was just on 52 and beat it but now 53 is even harder and most of the time I can get through a level and get though the next one like im a pro.
this game is fun
easy and fun
Hey MFCraft24 looks like we’re in the same place! I FINALLY made it through 52, then HOLY POOP!! Level 53!!! Definitely what I learned in 52 is going to help in 53. FUN GAME!!!!
Zacray?
hi
I love this game, finished twice.. It will appear on App Store ?
Yes, during the fall probably!
Over a year since last update-please try to add a new one. Maybe a choice of what camera angle you want, new person/colour maybe? And multiplayer. Also things like “Hero” mode where you fight enemies whilst jumping?
Nice Work! I just wanted to say that I was really impressed by this game. I stayed up much later than I should have tonight to get through it. π
The feeling of “hang time” in the game really gives it a lot of tension. I love when it alternates between fast paced sections, with short jumps followed by the long slow anticipation of a long jump. It’s a fantastic feeling when you land a long jump after a really tough section.
Those last ten levels really put up a challenge. The twisting paths towards the end kept me on my toes. I ended the game with sweaty palms, and a real sense of exhilaration.
Great work, and I hope you keep making awesome games in the future, I had a lot of fun with this one, thanks for making it.
Sorry, once the tracks start moving up and down, I’m out. The fun-to-frustration ratio is just way too low. My anti-anxiety meds will run out long before I ever finish this game.
But up until about level 50 it’s a pretty fun game. Well done. I’d recommend some way of getting back to the menu.
MAJOR problem in arcade mode. If you’re holding down space when the timer runs out, the next game begins immediately and you don’t get a chance to see how far you just got. Incredibly frustrating after a long run. I know you want to keep it one-button, but an exception might be worthwhile in this case.
Super fun game, though.
I gave up on campaign mode on level 52 because when I make it to the moving platforms I -can- -not- make it through. If you’re going to have a game where you can’t stop running, you really shouldn’t have moving platforms–that makes it virtually impossible to beat it without dying repeatedly.
If not for that, I would have found this game perfect. It is incredibly fun with no real penalty for failure. Pity I didn’t make it to the end.
Level 1 is a so easy and i’m on level 51
love game and beat game but i beat it yesterday and i went off tab yesterday and then it put me off and i went back to level 55. rrh
yay! i beat it and i am so happy. well it was hard on the journey when it lasted, lost my old home even though i did not have a clue about anything about it but at least i got a better home. YAY!
yay i beat the game! Thanks so much for making this game. i am so thankfull. have a nice day.
Im stuck on stupid 51
Great game! I’ve been playing for a while now and the only thing i can say about it is that I think it needs a pause button. Maybe “M” or “B” as the hotkey, cos they’re easy to get at from the spacebar. Once again, great game, love your work!
me to i am still stuck on that level!.
I love the game!
I’m on level 45!
this game is awsome
Why is the game gone all of a sudden? I checked every browser I have, and I only see a Flash Player symbol. None of the other copies online are working either. I tried rolling back my Flash Player version, that didn’t help. I’m too addicted to this game to see it simply vanish!
Where is the game? The game has been gone for almost year! I really like this game so please bring it back!
I love this game so much and i remember i have been played it in four years ago.
Hope the author can bring it back
It won`t let me play it. it says I have to download something that I already have on my computer!!!!!!!!!I can only find lunerun betas!!!that’s all there is !!!!I just can`t even!!!!!!!!!!!!
For those who want to play, use web archive and go to the lunerun page on 2013, the game will work if you have flash player. This game is amazing.
