Right now the HTML build is running slowly IN FIREFOX so I recommend playing it in Chrome or use the Windows/Mac/Linux version. You can consider playing it in Firefox easymode since everything runs about half speed.
The controls for this game are the arrow keys (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT).
The object of the game is to get to the very bottom of the map while avoid spikes and urchins. Along the way you can pick up pearls and starfish which act as keys for their respective doors.
Known bugs:
* Urchins can go through doors
* HTML version still has some performance issues in Firefox, but not in Chrome. You can consider playing in Firefox easymode for now since everything runs about half speed.
If I had more time I would have:
* If I knew how to use any music programs I would have created a soundtrack; one for exploring and one for the boss. Possibly also the end of the game.
* Animated more things
* Shaded more things
Addressing common issues people had with the game:
* I can see how the collision is unforgiving. If I was allow more time, I would shrink it a little(maybe 1/4 the current rect); but it's still beatable. I did it with faster urchins than are in the live version!
Let me know in the comments if you found the secret ending ;)(without extracting the files).
Hope you enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions, and I will try to answer them/remedy any issues ASAP!
