Hello everyone,
While working on my bigger projects, I've decided to make a runner game to add variety to my work. It's pretty simple, but has some nice effects like :
- Flip ' n ' run : you can jump on ground platforms, or invert gameplay and jump on the top ones(take a look at screens).
- Always a different level everytime you play, random platforms (like canabalt and such).
- Changing light fx and colours on platforms, scenery, and so on;
- Changing scenarios and settings, while you play, not loading a thing. You'll be jumping on top of city buildings one moment, the next you're on a castle, or going through a forest.
It's being a test for me and my pixel art. I'm a designer, but my style is different, so I'm pretty new to it. The art on my other game is pixel art too, but it's different. I've tried to animate the hero a bit like canabalt, which is amazing. This was, of course, one of my main inspirations, along with old spectrum graphics (someday maybe I'll make of one my favourites of all times : Bombjack!)
I'm going to submit for review in a couple of days, so I'm guessing in 10-12 days, it will be available on the app store.
Now, for the screens!
Hope you guys like it! It's being much fun doing this game.

FREE with monthly updates! Please download and review!
Thanks,

PS: I was accused by a review of making a copy of Gravity Guy, filled with ads and such. It's not only a lie, but it also degrades the hard work I've had creating graphics and adding gameplay mechanics. It's a simple game, FREE, for everyone!
Thanks,

I am thrilled! My second game
a couple questions
- are you a Pro user?
comments
- too many in-between scenes after death (max it to one)
- movement buttons too close. split em to left/right.
- super candy mayhem -> i can;t tap on it
I'm going to have monthly updates, so I'm going to add/change things, as players criticize/review the game. You can't tap on super candy mayhem of course, because I'm not a Pro user, so I haven't got the link feature.
Thanks FSS!

I've made top 1000 in the US, and over 10 other countries. In 5 countries i'm in top 400!
That's nice!

"Super Flip Runner – I’m well aware that there are other games that involve running, jumping, and flipping through random and endless environments. I’m also well aware that a lot of people (myself included) have a thing for retro-styled pixilated visuals. And that even more people tend to like free stuff."

What's New in Version 1.0.1:
New scenario, "Alien World".
Fixed several graphical bugs and glitches.
Now the game doesn't restart everytime you die, everything is recycled, so virtually any loading times.
Please download! It's been downloaded in more than 20 countries!
MetzoPaino, of course not.
As stated before :
"I've tried to animate the hero a bit like canabalt, which is amazing. This was, of course, one of my main inspirations".
It's based on it, but I couldn't get the hang of the animation totally. I'm still new to pixel art.
But I didn't ripped it, if that's what you're asking. I don't use other people work to make profit or publicity. And if you play the game, well, you can see it's really NOT the same.
