Inspiration Dave

** 30,000 views! What a nice number. Thanks for playing, anyone who played!

**UPDATE 5/9 - Fixed a performance issue. Should run a little smoother. Also, frontpaged, woo-hoo!

**UPDATE 5/7 - Added "CTRL" as a run option for those with keyboard issues. This might have erased some people's data. I hope not, but if so I'm sorry :/ your scores/medals are of course still there.

Inspiration Dave is a platformer. You control a character on a mission to find inspiration through musical notes throughout whatever world he lives in - via going through 33 small platforming stages, with three goals: Finish the stage, collect all 20 notes, and finish the stage 100% very quickly! Only finishing the stage is necessary. There are unlockable secrets for how many notes you collect and stages you finish quickly. I wrote the soundtrack and created the graphics myself, for better or worse! :)


Controls: "/" denote any of the keys work.


X/J/UP/SPACE/W: Jump (tap/hold to change height)

CTRL/Z/K: Hold to run, cancel menu

SHIFT: Toggle "auto-run!" you'll always run with this on. Not advised as you will want more fine-tuned movement in some spots, but hey, do whatever.

left/right, or A/D: Move

DOWN/S: Enter door/interact

P: Pause, Q: Quit stage, R: Restart stage, M: Mute


Made over 12/11-3/12, but mostly 2012.
