jPlane - Finished! Try it out! 05/03/2012

[antelopeDJ]

This is a small clone of the game 'Copter' in Java, using the Swing and AWT libraries. I made this in five hours over the weekend and I'm quite impressed with it. Enjoy! Since that time the game has been played by over a hundred people, featured in a YouTube video (hosted here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQyUqWgcQ-g) and  its threads viewed by many more, leading me to attempt at improving the game. Read the 'more info' section for a detailed list of new features!

Oh the nostalgia :')

Quite fun, but the level design starts off a bit too hard. I couldn't get a score bigger than 1000 :/

[antelopeDJ]

Haha, 200? The level design is entirely randomized, it depends on how it was generated. I managed 2500 after some practice. I'll probably make the level generator more spaced out when I get the chance, I was just impressed it worked so well.

Oops typo, I meant 1000

I just replayed it a couple times: 2694 w00t

[antelopeDJ]

Damnit! I always hit the wall of death (the two bars at equal X values) before 2500

2289 Very nice game.

Sometimes it generates impossible walls... please fix this.

The walls are not impossible, you have just not found a good way around them.

Even though it isn't perfect (some very tough spots), amazing for 5 hours work

Genius! Instead of acknowledging near impossible areas, just blame the player's incompetency
