GAMUT - Hidden Color Worlds by jurnacsr

made by jurnacsr for LD30 (COMPO)

GAMUT - Hidden Color Worlds pits you against a newly resurgent enemy equipped with more ships than ever! Pilot the new ship GAMUT, slip between the Color Worlds, and restore your ultimate weapon, the Breaker Beam.

v1 - There is a bug in Firefox. If you can, please play in Chrome while I get the bugs squashed!

v1.01 - Firefox bug gone! Firefox doesn't like zero'd args with a canvas. I'll make sure to remember that in the future! If you can, still - please play in Chrome. The audio is sometimes odd in Firefox because of the number of sounds playing.

After the message 'Starting the Game', the icons (health, etc.) on the lower screen disappear, only the ship is visible (and disappears then, too).

IndexSizeError: Index or size is negative or greater than the allowed amount game.min.js:51

Also you should not log (in config.js:55) because logging slows the game down.

I was able to replicate your problem - its not working in Firefox. If you can play it in Chrome, please try that while I iron out the Firefox issue. Something about not giving the right number of args to a javascript function...

It's hard to tell the difference between good things (power ups) and bad things (enemy missiles) so i tended to avoid everything.

The Shift mechanic was explained earlier, but when I got to that part I forgot how it worked, and had to figure it out again.

Can't go wrong with a side scrolling shooter, nice work!
What was the reason for the colour worlds though? I just realised when you change it, it just changes the enemy colours?

You get different powerups from different colored enemies. Red enemies drop wepaon power upgrades, green drop health upgrades, etc.

Good job, liked the graphics. Felt pretty easy though and to me that became slow and kind of boring, I think upping difficulty and rate of color changes would make a lot of difference! Nice entry though! :)

Hi there. Impressive pixel graphics. Particularly like the background objects parallax. Also like the generous provision of restore health. Nice full screen of moving ships, gunfire and explosions. Good job!
