Super Pixel Jumper Wii: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:07, 12 March 2023

Super Pixel Jumper is a score based platformer with constant forward motion.

This version of the game is a port of the original, which was developed for GP2X as an entry in the 2010 Pandora Angst Coding Competition.

Avoid contact with the brighter coloured blocks, your score will continue to increase as will the speed of the game.

Your high score is automatically saved. It also has an online leaderboard.

D-Pad - Move

2 - Jump

Plus/Minus - Restart the music

Super Pixel Jumper v1.0 (Cid2Mizard)

V1.3

I've updated Super Pixel Jumper for Wii. The music is looping properly again, there have been a lot of behind the scenes changes (mostly as a result of cleanup / rewrites done for the PS3 port), and it has all of the usual updates that have been in my other recent releases (newer home menu and bug fixes).
I also set a new high score well testing it! I'm now at the top of the leaderboard with 4331 points. I hadn't mentioned it yet, but I not so recently made a tumblr page for my homebrew (platonicrobot.tumblr.com). Right now it's just setup to automatically post whenever someone sets a new personal high score on any leaderboard. I haven't really decided what (if anything) else to do with it. Let me know if you have any suggestions. I don't plan to stop using this word press blog for release news and things like that but maybe I'll start cross posting…

V1.2

V1.1

I've once again ported my game Super Pixel Jumper to Wii. This time around it sticks more closely to the GP2X version and I think it plays a bit better. Well porting it I fixed the problem where you would sometimes explode when sliding underneath a harmful block that shouldn't be close enough to touch you. The music no longer plays on a loop (since I have documented this it is officially a feature and not a bug!) but if you want it to continue playing then you can reset it by pressing plus or minus.
I've also updated The Video Game but absolutely nothing about it's gameplay or graphics have changed. It has however gained some cool new music. Audiotechnica's Cerebral Corset now plays on a loop in the background and immediately gives the game an entirely different vibe that I find oddly fitting even if it is completely different from what I had originally envisioned.

V1

I still haven't been able to get it to work with mp3 (I have no idea what I'm doing wrong) but I did get SDL_Mixer working on Wii. For anyone having the same problem with smpeg I just removed -DMP3_MUSIC from SDL_mixer's make file, remade it, reinstalled, which allowed me to then remove -lsmpeg from my games makefile without SDL_Mixer complaining about its absence when I went to compile the game. So I decided to port Super Pixel Jumper from GP2X to Wii which I was putting off doing because I wouldn't be able to get all of the audio playing at the same time using just libogc's MP3Player.
So anyways its a fast paced score based platformer with constant forward motion. As long as you avoid contact with the brighter colored blocks your score will continue to increase as will the speed of the game. Your high score is automatically saved. Use the Wiimote D-pad to move and the 2 button to jump (hold it to jump further).
It really is pretty much a direct port just running at 640×480 rather then 320×240 and slowed down (how much things move per frame) a bit to compensate for the higher frame rate.
As with the GP2X version the background music (fight for your life loop) was made by Xythe and the sound effects (alienyell, lasergun and ufo landing) were made by mlestn1. All of which was taken from freesound.org.
