About me :
Hi, this is my first participation ever, and pretty must my first game ever, just keep it in mind :). (And I made it in less than 48h (about 18h), because of IRL stuff )
The graphics are bad, or inexistent, I know, I'm terrible at Gimp :D.
No audio for this one, I wanted to add a procedurally generated one but I finished at 3AM, so ...
About the game:
The game is about a key from a keyboard falling down a level, the further you fall the bigger your score gets !
Plus if you fall while adopting a bigger shape ( the Space/Shift shape ) you get a bigger score multiplier, but it's harder to pass the holes !
Level proceduraly generated, so each run, new holes !(took me most of the time :( )
Controls :
Left & Right Arrow Keys : Moving
Ctrl, Space, Shift : Change Shape ( Size on keyboard is roughly equals the one screen)
Known Bugs :
-You may get out of track if you change shape at certain moment ( EG: going through a hole )
- For some reason the camera is weirdly placed on the windows version
- UI needs work, some text is not visible
-Probably others !
Things I wanted to add :
- How many hole you went through without stopping
- Higher max speed and speed meter
- Change Shifty face to a grumpy one when you hit something
- Step the camera back, allowing to anticipate where to go and loose less speed
End note :
Anyway thanks for playing and rating ! I take all the feedback, of course I already know that I have a ton of training to do to get better too :)
Special thanks to the LD IRC chat, really nice guys, very helpful (Hi the31 ! )
PS : I wanted to provide a WebGl version, but the building fails, if it's permitted I'll try during next week
EDIT : Web version doesn't work on another PC for me, let me know if I'm the only one having this issue.
EDIT2 : Web works with Firefox ! Powered by itch.io, thanks Crowbeak !
