A simple game about time perception.

Can you have a perfect timing ? even while the game is messing with you ?

For now, only for desktop recent versions of Firefox / Chrome.

Technical details : all in HTML / JavaScript / CSS3
I tried to work a lot on the code structure, to experiment new ways of organizing code. Not clean yet, but almost entirely event oriented.

All musics composed and recorded on Reaper / Ableton Live

External libs used :
- underscore
- requirejs
- jquery
- howler
- impress

External asset used (those are allowed in rules) :
- google font Kranky
- google font Henny Penny

This was really fun. I ended up closing my eyes for the last couple, is that cheating? ;)

This is really amazing for something done in HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

Yep, that's totally great. Brilliant idea, beautifully executed. I'm intimidated.

Nice use of the various js libraries. Didn't really enjoy the game myself but I can see it's very well made. Good job!

Wow, I really need to re-learn HTML/CSS/Javascript !

Beautiful use of transformations and style - and the concept of the game itself - fabulous. Really fabulous. I got about 3500 drift over the levels :)

Great game, and very cleverly fitting to the theme :)

Very unexpected, and a pleasant surprise. I do not know much JavaScript, but the end result is something great.
One question though : is it possible to score 1000 points on a test (personal best was 998-1ms too late) ?

Thanks for the kind comments. Some replies :

@greysphere "I ended up closing my eyes for the last couple, is that cheating? ;)"

hmmmm let me see.... YES !!!! ;-)

@Jhelle "Didn't really enjoy the game myself"

Yes, same here. It's not really what we could call a fun game. I wanted to explore on perception, because one of these days I'll try to launch mini games on this theme. This first attempt here makes me see that the player is too passive. Something is missing.

@Delca "is it possible to score 1000 points on a test (personal best was 998-1ms too late) ?"

Technically yes, if you achieve 0 ms. But it will be by pure luck, because your browser does not listen on keyboard or mouse events every millisecond.

Very nice! I liked the idea and the aesthetics.

Quite nice game. Really liked the music and very cool use of the transition effects between levels.

A really good reactions game. I like how you used the music to mess with my timing.
Meep26 Aug 2013, 20:24
Was nice how many little variants/levels you were able to make from the general idea/mechanic. :) Great work!

Awesome idea. Awesome game.

Just sometimes the level had a delay between the instructions and the go.
mobyvb26 Aug 2013, 20:27
really cool. Got 4439 as my score. I didn't think it would be as fun as it was

Great! Like a science fiction story from the childhood. About two children which learned sequences.

Thanks!

Fantastically excecuted, brilliant design, superb audio work.

Sure, one could argue it is not "gamey" enough, but that doesnt change the fact i am very impressed what a polished product you were able to offer. Seeing how i know absolutely nothing about HTML/CSS the smooth fadeouts and transitions are even cooler.

Great job.

Awesome game. I love the concept, I love the music, I love the fluidity of the scene changes. Great work.
dekart2 Sep 2013, 18:56
I like it, pretty simple but challenging game. Visual effects are perfect too!
Sestren4 Sep 2013, 02:31
Really innovative take on the theme, and well-executed. Pretty fun for a game all about counting to ten. :)

What a nice game. I loved the transitions between the "levels" and the music was great. Loved how it fucked with my mind :)
