As of now, I'm releasing my first game ever titled, "Collector". Everything is explained in the readme file but here's the features. It's essentially a game where you avoid 3 falling boxes that increase in speed, and collect hearts for as long as you can without getting crushed by the boxes.

Features:
Saving of highscore
Controller support (Edit: Only Xbox controllers work, no idea how to make others compatible)
Menu
Pausing
Randomly falling collectibles and enemies

Picture:

I plan to add a few more things before starting a new project up. Please give me some of your opinions on how it is. I'll probably start adding the things within the coming days.

Update:
Fixes a few bugs and adds/changes a bunch of things. Version 1.1 should be out by this Saturday at the latest.

I just played this and this and I have to say that both might be fun with a time attack mode. In your game's time attack, maybe you'd change the hearts in to clocks, or maybe even simply numbers. Instead of dodging boxes and hearts, you could be dodging +plus and -minus..

I tried it with an old PSX controller I happened to already have plugged in through a USB adapter, but it didn't work.

Good job.

That time attack gamemode is actually a really good idea. I'll try and implement that if I figure out how to setup different gamemodes. Regarding the controller thing, it seems as though gamepads will only work if you're using an Xbox 360 controller. I'd wager to guess that an Xbone controller will work just the same. I'll attempt to find a way to incorporate more game pads. Thanks for trying out my game!
