My entry for Ludum Dare 39 is a little side scroller featuring a wizard. Since I didn't get around to explaining it in the game itself, the idea is as follows:
You are a wizard, yay! But you have been cursed by Wizardy McVillainFace, and your power is slowly draining. You have to hurry to find the cure for your curse before it is too late!
I only got around to making two levels, so hopefully they give you enough of a taste!
Made with:
I like working on the internals for games, so this is made completely from scratch using plain old JavaScript.
* Languages:
* JavaScript (every line of the code is written from scratch)
* HTML5 and CSS (almost none, just to put a canvas on the screen)
* Tools:
* Gimp (all of the graphics were hand-drawn)
* Vim (all the code was written in the one true text editor :) )
* Chromium (I didn't test other browsers, sorry! :( )
* Git (To save my progress - all the code is on GitHub!)
You can watch the timelapse of me making this game on YouTube!
What I'm happy with:
I am really happy with how the animations turned out, and with the fact that I managed to get a working side scroller. This was the first time I ever tried to make a side-on 2d game :)
What I wish I could have done better:
I really wanted more levels. The tutorial and the first level give you an impression but I would have loved to make more levels if I had time. However, I like to leave my Ludum Dare submissions untouched after the competition ends so I will have to try harder next time instead :)
BUG FIXES:
After submission, I have made the following bug fixes:
* Change `event.key` to `name` in a function which was broken yet worked in chrome by pure coincidence.
