This was my first attempt at anything game-like since I was a kid. It's VanillaJS using canvases. The game is simple - you're a box and you need to collect the yellow box to get points, while avoiding the flying bad guys. I followed a simple platformer tutorial and riffed on that. I added the bad guys, their basic AI, the bomb mechanic, some particle effects, and other bits and pieces.
It took me a long while just to get the basics down and so "Deeper and Deeper" is represented by the continually falling background splatters. I did think it'd be cool to build a 'falling down the level' mechanic but I won't have time, most likely.
If you play, please share your high score! Rounds are only 30s so it's quick to jump in.
YOU CAN DOUBLE JUMP!!
