Phys Runner is my first game I have made and it was for the kongregate competition.
[b]So what is it?[/b]
Like the game [url=http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html]QWOP[/url] you take full control of a body. For convenience, I use the same controls as well, Q, W, O and P. You can then either play solo or challenge others over LAN or internet. The mini-games range from who can stay on the platform the longest (Sky Arena) to single or dual lane 100 m races(both stadium levels). Unlike QWOP, you are not punished by falling and you have an easy mode button (space) that get's you back on feet (only works if you are after your opponent in multiplayer). Press R to restart.
Also, don't take this game too seriously, it's not meant to be easy in any way. A tip though, play it with a friend, it's surprisingly fun.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that it currently only supports 2 players (the host and one client) although, I'm working on allowing more players in some of the gamemodes.

[b]Bugs[/b]
As it is my first game, a lot of things doesn't work the way they are supposed to. Highscore doesn't work, so don't waste your time on that. You sometimes get stuck in the air (for more than 3 seconds) and the only fix for it is to restart the game. Multiplayer is by no means optimized for high ping, so if you want to host a server then it's advised that you state your location in the game name. If you however have to play on high ping, play the level "Stadium Dual Lane" as it is faster. Some times multiple players can join the same server (I think?) so be aware of that. [i]Be a good player and leave if that's your character is controlled by someone else.[/i] [b]Some people can't host servers. That's because their routers can't handle a NAT punchthrough. It may work by opening a port and hosting through it.[/b]
Oh, and there's a lot of spelling errors that I haven't gotten the time or will to fix.

Reminder to self: Never use .jpg ever again...
Gotta test it out
Wait, QWOP in multiplayer and THREE DEE FORM?
WHERE DO YOU SIGN UP?!
Also, I will listen for what you guys want more of in the game, as I haven't gotten to much feedback on the game yet. So if you an awesome idea for a level and want it to be in the game, please post it and maybe I can implement it.
Why the fuck are the "practice" levels so GOD DAMN DARK?
hah i'll play once i get home
[QUOTE=suppertime;28069744]Why the fuck are the "practice" levels so GOD DAMN DARK?[/QUOTE]
You might be right. Just play the "highscore" level and don't care for the highscore as it doesn't work. The highscore is just the normal level.
The players look like shit. QWOP looks better.

You shouldn't expect too much. It's my first model as well. And as in first, I mean that the first thing I ever did in blender was the head.
Edit: ...and that's the reason the camera is so far away...

It might also be worth mentioning that there's dismemberment. I just lost my leg by "walking" down stairs.

After learning how to run on QWOP this is pretty fun.
Put in a lobby for multiplayer and you've really got something entertaining.
Also: Put some god damn lights in on the stair level and the circus level. They have some pretty interesting gameplay but you can't see it.

My head has been disconnected so many times.
Also if anyone runs Chrome and the window freezes on Kongregate whenever you try running a Unity game, just wait a while and it'll say Flash stopped responding. Kill Flash and then Unity will load just fine.

That's what you use easymode (space) for. ;)
Anyway to download this game? I'm on linux and I could possibly run it through wine if it was downloaded
Does this work on Mac? If so, I'm trying it when I get home.

Kongregate wont allow me to distribute the game anywhere else if i want 50 % of the income. My hands are tied here. :/
[QUOTE=Benstokes;28070787]Does this work on Mac? If so, I'm trying it when I get home.[/QUOTE]
Yes, in fact, I used a mac for half of my developing.
Please round the timer number: I don't need to see 6 decimals of the current time.

Is that Michael Jackson?
How the hell do I connect to a server.
It keeps saying failed to download data file.

I going to add timed highscore (if I can get it to f*cking work!), that's why I haven't removed it yet.
[QUOTE=8BitLord;28070851]How the hell do I connect to a server.[/QUOTE]
You have to click one time and then wait. It can take up to 20 seconds (yes, I'm not kidding). You can then retry but if you you wait for that long and nothing happens, then it's probably the server which can't handle a NAT punchthrough.

I have no mouth and i must run like an idiot and fall down all these goddamm stairs
How can the commenters not understand that it's a tribute to QWOP, not a ripoff.
[editline]15th February 2011[/editline]
On Kongregate, that is.
The first 2 panels represent my Stairs experience.

Is anyone interested in more levels for the game? I currently have a few maps in mind:
1. Circus Gaps: A dual lane level with 3 Platforms that you have to jump on to the finish.
2. Slightly Upwards: A dual lane city map where every 8 meters there is a step making stairs.
3. Thai Boxing: After a certain time limit, the player highest over the ground wins. A player can also lose by loosing the head.
4. Stairs: Just as the offline practice, just multiplayer on one lane.
This is cool, I just wish the controls were more like qwop, not so sensitive
gah , for some reason Unity doesnt work for me on Kongregate
