The good<\/strong>
\n I decided to make the game from scratch using the HTML5 canvas tag and JavaScript. I wanted to make sure the game could easily be played on desktop browsers as well as touch enabled phones and tablets and I think I achieved that (though I’m sure there are some devices and\/or browsers that don’t work, but haven’t encountered any yet).<\/p>\n I think the 2 player mode was a nice addition that I decided on quite late on. Though it took a while to implement, I think it worked out pretty well.<\/p>\n
I was pretty happy with how the minimal 4 colour Gameboy-style aesthetic turned out in the end (although I probably spent too much time trying out different colours\/designs).<\/p>\n
The not so good<\/strong>
\n I ran out of time before I had done any game balancing (tweaking the rock spawning rate, speed up rate, player rotation and movement speed etc), and I feel the game really needs this to make it fairer and try to eliminate situations that are impossible for the player to deal with.<\/p>\n Also, the game is completely silent. I knew that getting consistent audio behavior across devices\/browsers might be tricky, so I decided to not even try quite early on. Obviously the game could have been improved with some sound effects and music, so this was a shame.<\/p>\n
Well, that’s all from me – back to playing my way through the entries!<\/p>","time":"April 30th, 2013 1:08 pm","title":"Rokhopr \u2013 Post Mortem"}
