Update for Runnerby games

I usually don’t update my games, but since I decided to put Runnerby in my portfolio, some of its issues had been bugging me. So, I updated it. Now, the music pauses when the Flash applet loses focus, and there is a title screen that forces you to click and press space before starting the game, which should resolve any confusion over keys not doing anything (caused by Flash first lacking focus), and not knowing what key to use to play, for the beginners. I actually copied this last technique from Mode, the example game that Adam Saltsman made for Flixel. My game still retains its other problems.

Runnerby games

(It was about time I posted this.)

Perhaps you remember a Ludum Dare entry I called Climbrunner—well, this game is an evolution of that idea. Here, you run around a tricky series of screens, up the walls and ceilings, only with the ability to jump to avoid the obstacles that get in your way. There’s no dying, just lots of cursing over missed jumps and having to do it all over again. It’s a short game, but if you think it was fun once you first finish it, there’s still a second path you can try.

All you need to know to play it is that you jump with the spacebar.
