Ok here is the working demo, by the end of the week will have a simple menu, proper death, score meter, and some visual effects.
UP key to jump and that's it, if you fall you have to restart the game ESC to exit.
If you hit an obstacle you'll instantly restart at the beginning, a delay/death sequence will be added soon.
Yes you can finish the level, I've done it a few times lol.
Also if someone can run it on Linux to make sure it works on linux my linux box died.

Ok, I played it. To play it on linux you to delete libfluidsynth and libwebpm from the lib folder in the game directory. That is a RCBasic bug which I will fix in the next release but I wanted to let people know here.
The game is really well executed and I had a lot of fun with it. These types of games can be pretty addicting since you always want to retry just one more time. I ran into a bug when I fell of the edge where the level would keep going. Also, a minor nitpick I have is on the music restarting everytime you die. It kind of irritated me and I think it would be better if the music just never stopped.

Yeah thats not a bug lol, just not implemented yet haha. Yes the music restarting I was sticking true to the Geometry Dash, it restarts with every death, but it has a pause/delay/death sequence, I will add an option in the menu for music restart or playing through.
I feel like the control and speed are about right, so now its just add fluff and make levels.

tbird You should try to do a web build for this. I think this would be a good browser game on itch.io. Also, really good job on the graphics. It is amazing how aesthetically unique it is considering its only using shapes.

One quick question: There are a quantity of files that are to be written to the "usr" directory. Will there be a function to "un-install"?

As far as the game demo, there is no code that writes to anything on the computer its unzipped on.
Unless using the distribute tool does something, like enters stuff in to put it in your start menu under the correct category ex. "Games"
n00b would probably know.

Those folders that are extracted are setup like that because thats the folder structure of an appimage. You only have the option to build an appimage on linux so the windows build will just output the appimage directory structure since it will still run that way on any linux system. |

Well... I finally got the game to run... I have noticed one HUGE problem with this type of game... Me! With my skill (for want of a better word) levels, I find that I am about as useful as fly-screens on a submarine... I considered myself lucky to have jumped over 3 of those obstacles... Most of the time I died on the first and second jump... *sigh* My eye and hand co-ordination is not what it used to be... lol I have a grandson that likes this type of game...
I am going to keep an eye on the progress of this game... Great job so far!

Ok some small updates, have to add a couple more things and fix a tiny bug before uploading the next version.
Also here is a video showing that you can in fact beat the first level.
