Well done, i like this game.

Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad my side project I've been working (for way too long) is moderately entertaining! I consider it my big, drawn out practice project to get back into game making...

I only have a single problem on my laptop, the performance sometimes drops down to very few FPS. Any Idea what it could be?

What OS? I get 60 FPS on most Windows setups from XP to 7, and on Mac I get 30-60 FPS depending on how old it was. I could send you an OpenGL compiled version to try but on almost every computer I've tried it was slower...

You can press TAB to view the framerate in the game.

I use Win7 on my laptop and the frames are mostly at 60fps. However sometimes they drop down to 20fps and below. I will have a further look on it if it happens at special situations. If you want to debug on my machine, PM me.

Your game is on front page on jeuxvideo.com which is the biggest french videogame website, so congrats !

Swuuueeeeeet!
Congratulations.

I see they have even made a review video of Nugget - it is a truely excellent piece of work!

Yes it's pretty cool that it's featured on there! I wish I knew more French to understand it better

I got a lot of traffic and emails (and some sales) from France this week, so I asked one of the emailers where he heard about it, and he showed me jeuxvideo.com last night, 44000 views now, that's pretty huge to me!

I plan to release another small update when PB 5.10 is finalized (but don't rush, I want it as good as possible! )

Also I started a brand new game this week... it will be much smaller in scope but more polished (nice graphics, more playtesting, etc)... definitely a puzzler and not a platformer... gotta prototype it first and make sure it's actually fun

Thanks for the compliments!

Hi Ryan !
I'm french and knew your game through jeuxvideo.com from the video that you saw had much success.
I think you can thank at0mium : the guy who made the video and brought many french players on nugget
http://www.youtube.com/user/at0mium this is his channel

I've also come to notify you I just made a walkthrough for people who might be blocked somewhere !

I think there's a secret ending (with the "?" door) but haven't found how to get it yet. I'll soon uncover all of nugget's secrets mwahaha

gotta prototype it first and make sure it's actually fun

And that is the whole point - it doesn't matter if you are the best source code writer in the universe, the product must be fit for perpose You have definetly got a nack for it kenmo.

@ModInstaller -- That's awesome! No really, that made my day, I've never made a game worthy of a speedrun video before And you did it very fast too, that's about as fast as I can beat it... You got through some parts in better ways than I do... but I get through some better than you do

@Ideas -- You're too kind

kenmo,

Nugget is the first game programmed with PB which was mentioned in a short notice in Germany's most respected computer magazine c't (1/2013 page 178). I have tried to translate it:

c't (translated from German) wrote:Ryan Touk's free jump & run Nugget (Windows/Mac OS X) tells a tragic love story about intolerance and genetic experiments - though between saucer-eyed rectangles. Thomas is not alone after all.
