To avoid losing you must keep the blue circle away from the red circle, and also not run out of time. You can move the blue circle by aiming the mouse cursor.
The red circle moves slowly, until it gets a clear line of sight to you. If this happens, the only way out is to hide on or behind a black safe area, or pick up green power ups for a temporary speed boost. You start off with ten seconds which is counting down. Picking up a green power up will also add a second to your time limit.
The black safe areas are generated randomly on each restart. This was pretty rushed since I scrapped my main game idea and worked on this in 6 hours. You can play it in a browser but if the music is missing or you run into any or trouble, you can download the source and open index.html, which should be more reliable.
@ratalaika, what browser are you using? Thanks for the heads up. It may also be a bug where the blue circle was randomly positioned outside the bounds, so refreshing should fix that one. Also, if the music isn't working for you, just download the source and open index.html. Thanks for the comments guys!
Oops, not sure what's up with Dropbox, I'll check it out this evening. In the mean time you can play by downloading the source and opening index.html. Thanks
Simple concept with good execution. I love the minimalist presentation, very effective! Technical notes: The music works in my Chrome. Game does not work in my Firefox though.
Incredibly simple concept, but pretty addicting gameplay. Do you hide in cover letting your seconds burn away? Or do you rush out of cover to add even more seconds to the counter?
The sound works fine in chrome. Or is there supposed to be other music? Also this is one of those "Hard to learn, Simple to master" games where if you get how to play, you become very good at it.
Very addicting. Have to get back to work! I did manage to start a level where the red dot was pretty much penned in so wasn't much of a challenge when that happened.
Ah yeah, seems pretty bare. Though everything seems to be in the game and seems to work well. There's not really a whole lot for me to say about it to be honest. It's not bad at all, but there isn't much to keep me attached to playing for very long.
I do want to say good job though moving on from an idea that could have held you back from making anything at all for the competition! Better to have regained your composure and finished something than to get stuck and give up or upload something completely unplayable.
Doesn't work in firefox, no sound and blue circle. But what HTML5 works in firefox... :D Interesting concept, collision is a little off (red circle was sometimes touching me and nothing happenned)

Really fun game! Good Job.. The AI is not perfect but it's good enough for an LD :)
