Forage is a game about collecting coloured cubes. You play as a circle and can move around using the arrow keys on your keyboard. There are two types of cube to collect. One is full and one is empty. You get points for collecting the correct type of cube. The correct type is dictated on the top of the screen. You only have ten seconds to get the highest score you possibly can. You can push h to get to the help menu and r to restart any time.
Forage is a bit primitive because I was on holiday in Portugal during the weekend of Ludum Dare. I had to use the computers in the internet bar. I was limited to notepad, Google Chrome and Microsoft Paint. I would have added some graphics if it wasn't for the fact that I had no access to a real graphical tool (however my drawing skills aren't the best). Also the keyboard was in Portuguese and all the useful keys were really hard to get to. I made this in about two hours so I really hope you enjoy playing it.
I've got to give you props for managing to make something under those circumstances, because that sounded very tricky. I'm guessing pure JavaScript? While I won't say that this was one of the best entries I've tried of LD#27 it's probably the best game I've played that was made in two hours ;)
Would have preferred the collect type only change once every five seconds, or only on some special trigger as opposed to every second, but other than that, it's more than I'd be able to do in 2 hours!
Pretty nicely done for just 2 hours on your hand. The gameplay is probably a little difficult, I think if you added a cube that reset the 10 second timer it would be really addictive to play. nice job anyway.
Hey, don't you think it's hard enough to make a game with the usual conditions, you want a better challenge ? :P
For a two hours job, it's kind of great actually !
Great job!
I wonder what you would have done under other circumstances...
