The city has been hit by a major earthquake. There is a lot of chaos and the humans are struggeling with their own problems, but the local animal shelter is forgotten... The door is being kept closed by a bunch of hidden capacitors and batteries. The animals need to find them and short them out before they starve...

Theme Idea

While the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about "running out of power" is some kind of system that should be supplied with power for as long as possible ( e.g. life support ) I went with the opposite approach of a system that needs to run out of power as quickly as possible.

Technology

I decided to go for HTML5 this time and try to create a game with it. I didn't have a lot of time so I went with the "higher level" functions of HTML5 compared to C++ to save some time and it has the added benefit of being extremely platform independent. The graphics/images could have been a lot better but I ran out of time and energy to keep working on them.

EDIT

W,A,S,D works now in Chrome, Firefox and Edge

some people mentioned that W,A,S,D didn't move the dog, it worked in Chrome but didn't in Firefox & Edge. I actually tested all of these browsers with the offline version before uploading and they all worked fine, but I only tested the chrome version after uploading. Firefox uses some kind of fast loading javascript thing that apparently didn't want to work when using 'const', I changed everything back to magic numbers and now it works.
