v.2 for Improve My Game Jam #8

Interstellar Orphan
A browser game made in HTML5

Interstellar Orphan's my personal favorite of the games we've released, so of course, when we joined Improve My Game Jam #8, I knew we'd be dedicating more time to Akuji.

Chase designed four more spacefaring cat sprites for this update, including:

  • Greg in a heart ship
  • Buttercup on a magic carpet
  • Lahea in a weaponized spaceship
  • Phoebe in an Area 51 spaceship

After I incorporated those paw-some cats (two per map), I worked on a fan request for a help menu that lists available controls. 

The battle system's been modified so it doesn't hide access to that help button, as well as preventing overlays when the player unlocks Gravity Well.

Gravity Well's button was also adjusted to accommodate the new help menu.

The ending sequences were updated to use photos instead of videos, since the video player isn't reliable in the browser. But if you'd like to see the video-based endings, try the downloadable version of the game...because the last upgrade we made for our favorite browser game, is including Windows and MacOSX versions. :)
