I've been working on my own HTML5 stuff for a year or so. I have several games to present, this is the first.

Should scale to any resolution although it's not really designed for vertical play!

 

To play: left right arrow keys or touch left/right of the screen, 2 achievements (find them!), red tunnels give you fuel, orange ones upgrade your weapon, don't run out of fuel and try to survive ...

 

Works on FF, Chrome, Safari and Android, don't have any other devices/browsers to test on - bug reports please!

 

Uses web audio and the game itself is actually about 30k - it's the music which take up 2+meg! Game uses my own mini libs.

 

I also have a mod music player which I've been perfecting but I've not used it here as I could not find a mod which sounded techno enough! :( (game would be about 100k with a mod).

 

Enjoy, more tomorrow.

Awesome work! I agree with Rich about the movement speed. It also felt slightly limiting at times, not being able to access tunnels at the widest points; especially when you really need one last tunnel to survive  ;). Overall a very enjoyable game, loved the sense of depth.

Thanks guys, I shall adjust the physics to be less real / more video game like. Then I'll probably have to adjust the difficulty again so it isn't too easy :)

 

I assume it works on everything? I only have a mac so testing on IE/Edge isn't possible for me, I just have to hope!

Very nice style and music! I think that it would be cool to add up and down motion to the ship.

 

The engine does support that, I am thinking of making a bigger space game kind of like Space Harrier something like that, but with all vector graphics.

 

Anyhow I've made the ship faster, it's almost fast enough to just tie it to the mouse/touch screen but I tried that earlier and it's a bit weird controlling it like that.
