Scuttlebox by apLavaridge

[raw]
made by apLavaridge for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

You're in a boxing match and you don't have the strength to win. As a result of this your only option is to run away from the opponent. Every 10 seconds a random event will occur. These will either help or hinder you. Try to survive as long as possible.

WASD/Arrows to move.

Game doesn't load for me! Make sure you read the embed settings under the upload thing and index.html is in the root of the zip! (I had the same problem)

any issues with loading, try the itch.io link. Should work!

Itch.io working fine for me on firefox/windows :) a lot of the events were very funny but not a fan of the power cut one, I feel like I always just resulted in me getting hit without knowing why. On the other hand spuds is brilliant even if the bird feels like he's out to get me.

This game works fine in Chrome.
I didn't read the tutorial at first and didn't know there was no attack key, so I was frustrated for a while.
The event of complete darkness seems a bit too much. Can't you just make it look faintly?

A funny little game. The grafics are simple, but they do their job. Most of the events are funny. A good little game.
But to be honest: the music is annoying.

I love it! Simple and well put-together. Those random events are *quite special*.

Pretty fun idea, survived a little over 2 minutes, and hoped 3 spud events would have beaten the opponent :cry:.

10/10 would watch my opponent turn into a spud and get carried off by a pigeon again

1:24 for me ^^
graphics is simple but efficient!
and the gameplay is really cool, but most of the time I just run along the borders ^^
Thank you for your game!

Nice entry, I did 1:10 :boxing_glove:

I have seen inverted controls a few times in this jam, so it is really nice to see more innovative ideas in addition like the portals! :clap:
