I uploaded my video highlighting your game today. Came one point shy of my previous score, but I think I could definitely do better with some item placement luck :-)
Thank you so much for taking the time! I really like how you explain my game and how you manage to max it out strategically! :-)
I just discovered it like an our ago so I have already seen it. I like it so much that I just provided you 2 slots in my high-score-table so I can link it there despite of the slightly lower score! ;-)
Since you just got everything right about my game in your explanation, I also linked it in my "How to play" chapter.
RunToTheStairs got a new feature - the player may now dig tunnels!
For this purpose a new collectible item called "drill" was introduced which enables the player to remove one wall element by bumping into it.
The possibility of digging allows the player to take greater risks when taking alternative routes, since this will enable him to rescue himself by spending some resources (drills) if his route decision turns out to be wrong.
Please check out the commented High-Score-Table on the games itch.io-page! Meanwhile there are more than 25 entries in this table (5 of them by youtubers). So please consider to give RunToTheStairs a go and see how high you can climb on this table. ;-)
RunToTheStairs now uses a graphical tileset and looks much better. The only problem is that it requires WebGL 2.0 which is not supported by all browsers yet. I would be pleased if you could test if it runs on your system. Please name your operating system and browser. Thank you! :-)
If it does not run at your system you can still play the ASCII-only-version of RunToTheStairs.
