About

THE GAME Run and jump through a world of distributions and numbers, collecting stars along the way - can you make it through all those stats puzzles? Or will you weep over the difficulty of statistics, as is tradition? Only you can find out! Featuring: 18 levels to puzzle through, each with 3 stars - that makes a grand 54 collectibles! 3 distributions to play with, all used in modelling real life situations! Fun formulae that explain how the hell numbers are making the blocks move The satisfaction of a job well done when you finish the game THE CONTROLS The controls, should they be required: WASD / Arrow keys to move the player Left click on the little plus/minuses on screen to change the lambda/P parameters of the platforms Try and make it to the blue wavy thing at the end of the level Have fun! MY THOUGHTS I'm pleased with this game, it's definitely got a lot more to it than the typical game jam platformer that I make! I'm particularly pleased with the idea of using statistical distribtions as platforms - still proud of that idea - and the graphics came out very nicely, particularly on the character art. And there's a lot of stuff I learned making it as well, that'll just be generally useful if I ever want to use it as a feature again, like that star system which keeps the star counts between levels, or using grids and prefabs in clever ways to make a bunch of levels quickly. Still, it did take a surprisingly long time to make this game, even if it was on and off - a full two weeks and change! I guess without a deadline things just get done slower, but at least it got done at all. I suppose part of why it took so long was because I was free to try things out more, add more features and so on, so maybe taking a long time to make the game wasn't such a bad thing. At the very least, it was definitely a different experience to making a jam game, so there's that! And, hopefully, you enjoy playing through all those levels as much as I enjoyed making them - if you manage to 100% the game, please do let me know; I'd love to hear about it!
