LURD - My first HTML 5 game

[SuperVarken]

Well I'm new to this community so I'd like to say hello to you all.

So past weeks I've been learning HTML 5 game development and been busy with my own game.

The whole code is pure javascript without any framework or something .

 

LURD (left, up, right, down)

This game is a classic platformer with a twist, every 10 seconds the keys will change. Your goal is to get as many coins as possible, there are also power up coins that you can take. I also added some test functions(7, 8, 4, +, i, p and some more).

You can play the game at http://www.lurd.ga, thank you for replying.

I started with a level system, maybe I'll add a 2 on 1 keyboard way soon.

Hello, and welcome to the forums. 

 

I just gave your game a quick "spin" and it seemed to run fine with my computer and I even managed to pick up few things here and there but it kept telling something about missing high scores functionality?

 

Anyways, as an initial impression I somewhat understand the concept you are after but I would recommend that you consider at least following things:

 

- Changing of keys constantly disallows me as a player to learn even the controls of the game to play it properly, so it was somewhat frustrating rather than rewarding experience. Yet, I am not saying that it is bad idea as a game mechanic, but it just happened way too often. That being said, what if those nasty things could happen only if the player accidentally picks up some unwanted item of some sort?

 

- Another thing which I noticed were the graphics.. have you considered making more work on those, and have you looked free platformer graphics online? Yet I am not saying that you can't make those yourself. But I guarantee you that good graphics are essential to games, whether they are 3D or pixelart; The game suddenly comes to alive.

 

Anyways, keep up the good work. And, hopefully I didn't sound too depressing here, just trying to make you a better game developer. 

 

Cheers!
