POST-COMPO UPDATE #1:

I added a basic save function so if you accidentally quit or need to take a break you can resume where you left off! You can find the new version on the Gamejolt page!

Show them all that friendship is the ultimate weapon.

The world is filled with lonely skeletons but you the HIGH FIVERER don't see them that way. You know they are really just friends waiting to be made. High Five them to bring out the awesome person that was there all along!

High Fiverer is a rapid-fire-arcade-combo-builder-friend-chaining explosion!

Use the mouse to high five your way to victory!

CONTROLS

-Left click to dash toward the mouse cursor

-Escape to restart the level

-F12 for screenshots

INSTRUCTIONS

-Dash into skeletons to high five them

-Once a dash starts you will only stop if you perform a high five, hit a wall, or have traveled the full distance

-Skeletons become Friends when you high five them

-New friends will move at a percentage of the speed you were moving and in the same direction

-Friends will High Five up to 1 skeleton if they have enough speed

-The cheering sound means a Friend high fived a skeleton, this adds a little time to your combo timer

-Your dash speed will increase as your combo gets bigger but the time your dash takes is always the same

-You will be pulled towards the red circles around the skeletons and those get bigger as the combo increases

-The blue circle around your character shows how much combo time is left

HINT: The combo timer does not start until the first High Five of the level, so you can try different starting points and trajectories.

-Make lots of friends!

-Combo the whole screen to move on!

-Timings!

-Super positive!

-Tons of visual feedback to parse!
