The Fractured Day by srimech

[raw]
made by srimech for LD27 (JAM)
Time has become fractured and you seem to be experiencing it in short, random bursts. Try to ignore that, though. What's important is that you have to find your ID card and get on the boat before it leaves at 7pm.

Use the arrow keys to move around. Once you've picked up some items, you can use them by dragging their icons on the bottom left of the screen to parts of the world near your character.

This is a change of tools for me, I've gone from PyGame to Javascript/HTML5 and Perl CGI, so it is not well coded. It is very easy to cheat by calling the web scripts manually.

I've tested this on Chrome (OSX, Windows, Linux), Firefox (Linux) and Safari (OSX).

It doesn't work on Internet Explorer or any Android browser at the moment.

Interesting, maybe the collision are too harsh, I got stuck in corners all the time.

Thanks for the feedback, it probably is a bit too difficult. I didn't get a chance to get anyone to play test it before submitting.

There's no visual feedback on dragging, and you need to be standing quite close to the thing/person you're dragging to.

As srimech said, a visual feedback for the dragging would be nice

It looks interesting, but I'm trying to figure out how to win. I think I'm going to bookmark it, to play any amount of time it takes to find the solution! :D
Nice art!

I like that is all made out of symbols. Dragging didn't seem to work for me, or maybe is the missing visual feedback that srimech said.

Couldn't grasp what i had to do or if there was a pattern in the screens after 10s.
