How to Play

Use diagonal numpad buttons, or Q,E,Z,C to start moving in a diagonal direction. You will bounce off walls and die to orange spikes. Your goal is the red can.

After bouncing off a wall, you regain your ability to move in a direction.

Press R to restart the level. 

Level Editor

Press ~ to enter/exit the level editor. You will see a dark square following your mouse.  Press + or - to navigate levels. Press Insert to create a new blank level. Del to completely remove the current level. Press 8 to export your levels to a .js file. You will need to download the game files and run the game locally to load your custom levels later.

To create a block at the mouse cursor, press:

1 for wall
2 for empty space
3 for spikes
4 for goal
5 to set player start position

Jam Info

I made the game in HTML5 and javascript, using a canvas, with no additional libraries or engines.

I used a very small amount of generic pre-jam code that essentially serves as the "game engine". Functions like sprite-loading, sprite rendering, window resizing, and input were premade. The movement, level editor and level loader, levels, art, etc were all made during the jam. I ended up spending about 4 hours on it. I hope to spend more time in the future creating more levels and adding sound.

I have updated the game since the jam.

Challenges:

• Only use the default MS Paint color palette.

• No transparencies.

  
  

  • This limitation inspired the game mechanics, since I was trying to find a way to work in a rectangular player without it seeming awkward. I took it to the extreme. I could have just used a white background.
