Untitled #31 by f7f5

[raw]
made by f7f5 for LD31 (COMPO)
** :( ** - If possible, play my Game using a recent version of Chrome or IE 11 (I don't have access to earlier versions of IE). It works fine on FireFox, but the map may flicker a bit. On Safari the sounds don't stop. I'll try to fix these bugs asap.

The game may take some time to load. Please wait :)

So, my take on the theme was to fit a big map on one screen and use a zoom lens
to enlarge the area around the player. The radius and fade effect of the lens are
used to convey information about the player's health.

The goal is to collect you personal objects (keys, wallet, etc...) that you lost earlier
around the playing area and return safely to the white square near the starting point
(that's your home, in case you forgot). Avoid the crazy wildlife. You can run in short
sprints if needed, and hide in the dark green squares.

Software used to build this game:
ImpactJS
Chrome, Firefox (and Safari, IE)
Kate
Audacity
jcgMusic
ffmpeg
timidity
Pinta
Inkscape


All sounds recorded on sunday, Dec 7th, using my faithful OnePlus One and the miidio Recorder app.

I couldn't move with WASD. Fun game, even though I died from the duck about 100 times.

Nice game ,like the zoom effect. The Instructions could be a bit more specific, as well as some better graphics :)

Try make a name even if it is bad. Also nice idea, the zoom effect helped as I'm sure it be hard to play without it.

Hi there. Like the minimal magnifier map presentation. Killed by dog/red square a couple times. Might need to be a bit easier to run away, is quite hard straight from the off, I think.

The game was interesting. Though, there wasn't a lot of information on what things were and the blind area around the character wasn't the most intuitive.

The visual setup was quite interesting, and the different types of creatures and sound effects were cool.

Nice game!
I like the way you see the place where you are, with the lens.
I'd like to notify to you that the game doesn't work with wasd, but only with arrow keys.

On IE11, the sound doesn't stop neither.
The lens effect if nicely done, but it hides a big part of the screen, forcing you to go away to see what's under.
I didn't manage to understand what every color means.

Quite liked the zoomed in effect.
There was some bugs with the dog sound.

The dogs could be a bit more forgiving, once they get you once you are done. Never managed to make a comeback from that.

Cool concept, and controls just fine. A bit hard to figure out how well you're doing at any one time.

I like the magnifying idea but some times the screen outside of it would flicker black.

Absolutely love the zoom part of it. I've seen a few whole dungeon on one screen entries and they could all do well with your zoom. I get the point of the game, but it was difficult to play without any graphics. There were things everywhere and having them all as boxes made it confusing. Anyway, controls seemed solid and overall it made for a fun couple of minutes.

Loved those farm sounds to do with moving squares.

Interesting. The sounds were kind of funny, and the map, while kind of disorientating, was also really helpful. I liked it! Nice job :D

Nice idea, liked the magnifying vision. Game was a bit hard though. Not sure if placeholder graphics was the intentional style either. Still, not a bad game. :)
