- About
This is a runner game made in Go with Ebiten engine, also my entry for https://itch.io/jam/game-off-2021.
- Controls
Key Action Right/Left arrow keys Move Space Jump R Restart a game / Start from main menu P / Escape Pause / Resume the game D Display columns as lines on the road (configuration can only be done in main menu) S Switch to "Perfect step" mode in order to step by a column when moving (configuration can only be done in main menu) 1, 2, 3, 4 Quality settings from "Very low" to "High" Alt+F4 (on desktop) Quit the game ? Sorry browser brothers and sisters - Gameplay
- Move the sphere horizontally and jump to dodge incoming blocks and score the maximum points
- Collide with hearts to recover health points (golden hearts give 2hp)
- Game is over at 0hp
- There is a total of 6 waves before an 'endless' wave of blocks
- Time spent without colliding any hostile block increases a score multiplier
- Whenever a wave is starting, pick a bug that you feel the most comfortable with
- Notes
- The game is not recommended for browser, but if you have a recent GPU and that you can turn "Hardware acceleration" on in your browser settings, you might be able to get a good experience
- Main menu allows you to display column lines and change your movement mode. There are also indicators like TPS (should be close to 60) and FPS (should be close to your refresh rate), if one of those is too low or not accurate, then you should try the Desktop version
- You can navigate with keyboard only even with Bug selection, pressing Enter to validate
- 3D has been made with the combination of ray marching and signed distance fields in shaders, and almost everything is procedural, it is very experimental (rushy/hacky source: https://github.com/Zyko0/GameOff2021)
