Title: I made a flash game!

Bouncey Ball! (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/514557)

I have made some games before, but this is my first one in flash, so don't expect it to be good.

This is my first flash game!
I followed a tutorial, but ended up remaking the finished product so that more than half of the original code was replaced! So you can't say I made it all on my own, but mostly. Kinda like I used a template.

Instructions:
Bounce around the stage and collect as many coins as you can while avoiding the black rotating thingy of doom. If you touch it you will lsoe all your points.
The Right and Left keys controls your movement.
When you collect a coin it will respawn in a random location and will sometimes (rarely) be unable to reach. Press SPACE if that happens and it will warp to a random location.

Also, if anyone beats my highscore of 118, let me know.

Played it. Seemed OK, although kinda difficult. Why not adding some sounds?

Anyway, good job for 1st submission!

Cool game. The graphics were kind of crappy, but I really liked the gameplay.

Thanks! But I kinda rushed it, I just wanted to make something quick, yet playable.
And I like difficult games, so I made it that on purpose. :P
And regarding sound: Well... I don't know. As I said, I rushed it, but I could improve graphics and add sound later... if I decide to continue with this. The gameplay also have to be improved. It may sound silly, but I couldn't figure out how to make it reset the game. That's why you only lose your points and the game continues when you are supposed to die.
That and other bugs could be fixed with some work, but maybe I should do something else instead.

Cool game. The graphics were kind of crappy, but I really liked the gameplay.
Well, graphics is not my specialty. Actually I suck at it, so simple shapes will have to be enough. But I'm glad you liked the gameplay, that's what games is about, isn't it?

I rather like this game. Got to 44 my first try before it put a circle in the bottom left. :/

Nice game. I have 2 things though.

1, the ball can get stuck in the sides, although you can get it out
2, it would be nice if it would display the highest archieved score for that session. I got 21+ something before I lost it, and now am not sure how much it was exactly.

omigosh this is one of the BEST FLASH GAMES EVAAARRRRRRRRRRR

this reinds me of milk and nibbles, or "snake"

its where you start out as a little snake, and eat food, and get bigger. if you touch yourself or the wall, you get to start over

Beaten it easily.

In fact, I can get higher than this but I lost because I wanted to make a screenshot too badly.

Yeah, the ball can get stuck in the wall, and this is wallswimming actually. If you press the opposite key, the ball will get out or continue in that direction and you'll lose it.
