I was learning Javascript and Canvas as I was making this, my first game ever. Uh. So the code is terrible, and I've only tested it with chrome. And it works OK with chrome. Not great, but OK. I don't know if Firefox will work. Sorry.

So yeah, thanks. This was fun. Oh I never had a github account either, so if something is wrong with that, I'm sorry again.

[EDIT3]
Oops. I misunderstood the rules. I thought public domain/creative commons sound effects/music were usable. I withdraw my entry. I'll be sure to follow the rules next go around :P

[EDIT2]

Figured out how to host via github. Neat!

Instructions and more about the game:

"Your Mother was shopping. She said wait here, she had to go get some crackers. That was a long time ago. Go look for her."

You are a small child. You feel as though you are lost and alone, and must go look for your mother.

Hit SPACE to look up.
Hit X to call to mommy.
Use LEFT and RIGHT to walk down aisle.
When you find an intersection, use UP or DOWN to switch aisles.

Hitting SPACE to look up doesn't really do anything gameplay-wise. I originally wanted there to be many adults and you had to find your mother among them.

Hitting X will cry for your mother. If she is on that isle, she will respond. If not, you will get a message telling you as much.

At an intersection between aisles, hitting UP or DOWN will traverse aisles.

You only have 60 seconds (or else the world ends), and you can only cry once every 10 seconds or so.

I'll admit it's not much of a game. I've never made a game before. I also never wrote to Canvas before, and only barely played with Javascript before. I'll do better next time :) Sorry I don't have hosting. But it's just an unzip and pointing your browser at index.html.
