My coworker and I took a few hours out of our busy lives to make a video game. It was made in Batari Basic, an IDE for the Atari 2600.



It's as basic as platforming gets, with your little character jumping from scrolling flats trying to avoid bullets and collect items.

Star: Collect four of these and you go to the next level (which moves faster).
Clock: Freezes the timer for a few seconds.
Arrow: Goes into Turbo Mode!

What's good about this game is that you've never seen jumping physics this good in an Atari game. The bad is that this is v1, so it has bugs and such, and there really isn't much to it. My coworker did 99% of the coding, and I did graphics and some tweaking.
