Ok heres the premise. This Thursday I turn 20. Its the coming of age +2, and I will have somehow lived for two decades. And I want birthday presents! As any self respecting klikker might know, I'm a huge fan of platform games. Which is where you come in.
You have THREE DAYS....until Wednesday, to come up with a platform game. It MUST have at least 5 levels and be under 1MB. A custom platform engine is necessary, but it doesnt have to be original. The competition will finish sometime Wednesday evening, and I will spend that time downloading any platform games that there are. Any entrants who meet the requirements will automatically get a couple of DC points for even bothering to take part.
The best platform game will get a further 10 DC points...probably sometime on Friday. If you're game, reply to this post, and note down your DC member number. Wednesday is the deadline, and you must prove it was made between today (Sunday) and Wednesday. No rehashes of older games. Good luck! And dont forget to supply a download URL.
Advice to keep the game small:
Use 256 Colours in a low resolution
Use as few detectors as possible
Dont bother with sound effects, but some midi would be good
Keep the graphics simplistic, Im looking for gameplay here!

3 days, oh no, you won't have any time to fulfill your other lifelong dreams!

I've made games in a weekend before. They sucked, but that was before I discovered the wonders of custom engines 
To find your DC member number, simply hover the mouse over your name: profile.asp?id=3208...so thats Pauls number  3208
I can guarentee you it took exactly a week to make Zone Runner. The first 6 hours were spent making an engine and the graphics, and the rest of the week took the level design. You forget it was for a competition with a guy called Steve Wardale, and he made a Pinball Racers game in that time. Zone Runner was originally going to be like Wonderboy, but then I changed the idea of it. Its definately possible, thats why Im only asking for 5 levels
