Color Jump Boy

Color Jump Boy is the kind of game you'd all expect from pyro. It was definitely influenced by his work.

In this game, you have to lead your character to the flag at the end of the level, but to do so you have to make use of different colored blocks on your way.

Using the Up and Down arrow keys, you can change the color jump boy sticks to.

For instance, you start on green. Press down, and you'll be on red. Again, and you'll be on purple. Press up from there, and you're back to red.

Try and make it to the flag! Left/Right keys to move, space to jump, and R Alt to run.

I haven't looked much at the code, so I don't know your collision method or any other coding aspect of your game, but it is a tad glitchy. I like the idea. I was using, I believe, a similar method for landing on certain tiles as you use in this for an experiment I was doing. I'm not sure if you are continuing this, but if you do, it would be nice to be able to see which tile you can land on, like a small tile on the top right of the screen that shows which color block. Also, you can bring the flag all the way to the beginning by getting on the first non green spot, where the 1 is, and jumping left then holding right while in the air. All other tiles move to the left, allowing you to bring the flag to you. This is due to the 3dness of the game? One last thing, it would be nice if you could implement a y screen version of the block moving, maybe not as manipulatable as the x version, but it would allow for a very short bit to see if you could land or not, but maybe that would make it to easy.
-Edit
Now that I have played it a bit more, the block thing is not really necessary. All you need to do is a test jump and it is easy to tell which block you can land on.
