Gulliver by Bobap

made by Bobap for LD33 (JAM)

Race to gather boulders scattered around a Lilliputian civilization. Lose points for crushing buildings and foliage. Earn more by getting to the boulders faster.

Linux and OS/X versions run slower because they are web based.

WASD/Arrows to move
ESC/Space to pause

Would have been more tense if, instead of having the boulder appearing at a distance (nearly) every time at a 25 second walk away and giving me 30s each time to have the boulder's distance grow over time from player and have me use seconds saved up from earlier rounds, a la old racing games. Right now it's a tight but guaranteed walk to the next boulder every time.

BTW, not buying the "it's slower because web" argument as any browser can handle a little canvas like that without any problems at very high frame rates. If it really is slower then the GameMaker HTML5 plugin is definitely not worth the money.

Nice and original concept for the theme.
It has a nice laid back atmosphere also because of the nice BGM, were those made by you as well?
