If you're wondering why some people are reporting they can't play the game it's because they are using Firefox which doesn't support import assertions. Specifically, this:
import data from "./map_export.json" with { type: 'json'};
Ah, sorry about that! I have posted an updated version to Newgrounds where this bug is fixed. Unfortunately, I didn't notice it before submitting for the jam.
Thanks, Frank! Really appreciate the feedback. Definitely plan to tweak gameplay, address those bugs and add more levels. It was a lot of fun to make and I thoroughly enjoyed working with LittleJS; simple to pick up and very well thought out.
Awesome, thanks! Nice feedback. I can speed up the tutorial text. For the mouse controls - do you imagine some kind of on screen joypad for directions or the player just follows the cursor? Actually could be very nice - never thought about that!
Yeah, there is an edge case with collision that I will fix in the next update. I should've made the key thing a bit more obvious. Personally, I always hide my house key under a plant pot. On the roof. On level 5 ;)
Thanks for the kind words and playing! I really appreciate it!
Thanks! Aha, I see what you mean about the jumping - it happens when you release the space bar rather than press it. It was just easier (and more succint) to code it that way.
If you're interested in javascript and code golf, checkout the js1k compo. Some really impressive stuff. For example: https://js1k.com/2010-first/demo/635
Totally agree - I did want to balance it more, but ran out of time. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to add some more baddies and make them attack in waves.
BTW, it's made with Phaser - definitely recommend; easy to get into with great docs & community
Hey, thanks for playing! I did want to add lives or at least and energy system but ran out of time. Hopefully, I'll find some spare time to expand the game further and add a bit more depth
