Wow....

What? Do you have something against Windows?

That comment was about the vid (and thus the game).

Quite the snow you have going there. And nice camera.

The video looks quite good!

I wouldn't go without easy classes.

It is certainly quite compact.. I'm not sure it supports inheritance - does it?

Thanks guys.

No inheritance, which I did encounter because I was thinking on making objects a class that would have the game as their parent but for now objects are just a table in the game class.

You could also use SECS of course..

Interesting. It didn't play in QuickTime, but worked fine in Movist.

Really nice. You got a working side-scroller that doesn't look to rely on Box2d to work. Which is awesome. Because as I said before, Box2D is not meant for side-scrollers. It's too floaty. You need to program your own "physics" to make a side-scroller.

I also like the snow. Is it Physics or just tables?

Yeah I want it to be easy to control, and when using physics engines I can't seem to get the feel right. The snow is just a weather object that hosts it's own table consisting of the flakes which move randomly. If you were able to see, after I got the carrot the snow became more blustery. This I did by just adding large multi-flake rotating images.
