Hey Trent! Program is called things. It’s super simple but really clean to use.

I know you’re on a mac, but what’s that project management software you’re running in the top screenshot? I’d love something like that!

i just noticed you did not used in-game ads…. the sponsor did not allowed in-game ads?

What about in-game ads (mochiads)?… how well was it?…. are these ads for the sponsor, or the developer or shared? regards

Stuck in the last part of the last friggin level. Timer is already on minute 75. It’s impossible!

Have you considered that people play this on their laptops and that keyboards sometimes have a cap on keyboard keys? Maybe that’s an excuse, but what’s the technique to do those up-the-cliff jumps. It’s a matter of luck so far.

Hey Sash,

I just wanted to thank you for your exceptional and in-depth post-mortem. It’s very hard to find this level of openness and detail from people and I wanted to let you know that at least one developer just starting out in making flash games really appreciates the effort. =)

Thanks and keep it up!

Thanks Porter!

And UnknownGuardian, it does look a lot like its made in flixel hey. The art is actually done in a completely round about way, it’s done in flash then rendered to a bitmap in the code.

And don’t worry, these things always take way longer than expected, I thought mr runner was going to be one month project. What is your current project?

I must say you fooled me there with the art. I thought for sure it was going to be a flixel based project. I’m also surprised at the amount of time you spend at the game. It makes me feel better at taking 4+ months and we are still in the coding stage. Thanks for the post about licenses too, because I didn’t really understand the differences until now.
