GDD

  • Top down 2D game, free real time movement.
  • To finish a level you must take all the VHS and then go to the end.
  • You can move normally and dash.
    • Dash has a delay.
    • Dash can break momentum.
  • Health has a maximum, never surpassing it.
  • Six levels, of increasing complexity.
  • Each movement you make, you lose health.
    • Dash doesn't consume health.
  • The icecream recovers your health.
  • There's a timer, which acts as a score.
  • There are X levels.
    • If you die you continue in the one you died, with the timer still counting.
    • If you finish the game, the level counter resets.
  • Vaporwave aesthetics.
    • Will sample some neat tunes for the music, and apply heavy reverbs, delays and cutoffs.
    • Will use heavily delayed cuts from those songs as sfx.
    • Heavy usage of tweens. Tweens abound!
    • Saturated colors, mostly pink and blue.

Trippy! I love the atmosphere you created. The game makes perfect sense and makes no sense at the same time. I like it! Also, thumbs up for the web build :)

Thank you both!

By the way, there are two secret areas hidden in the game. I forgot to point it out in the description!

Strange, but funny; couldn't stop playing till the last level. I was waiting for some more vaporwave easter eggs, though

Nice atmosphere and music, tho somewhere around level five I ran into a level I couldn't solve with multiple tries, but that just says this is a challenging game.

Not bad! I like the vaporwave music. The world needs more a e s t h e t i c s, especially the game world.

The gameplay is simple but the combination of the soundtrack and visual creates a strange and funny ambiance ! At first, I did not notice the dash button and I finished the game without using it. I tried a second time using it and the difficulty was a little simple as long as you do not try to beat your best time. May be the dash should also consume a few energy ?
