I've added a pac-man style minigame as a distraction for myself as well as the player. Featuring a rat in a small maze being chased by dogs, you pick up "pellets" until you expend your 3 lives.
Controls
Move - Arrows
Jump - Space
On attract screen
Exit - Esc
Shift - Insert Coin
Space - Start
- The pellets respawn after 15s of being picked up.
- A faster 3rd dog spawns at 100 and a 4th 250 points
- You can jump over one tile, water or dog. (Also serves as a small speed boost)
- If you land in the water, you lose a life
- A powerup spawns after a random range: 2:1 points/1up
- Added a high score display as well as a game time/game money display
- Only one game dollar per play!
- Coin return to collect unused credits
Bugfixes
- Added barriers preventing player from moving before enemies
- Fixed a bug allowing the player to jump over the barriers
- Added a 2 second blink time to later dogs to prevent spawn killing
- Powerup is now functioning as intended
- Attract screen functioning normally
- Ajusted the rat color for visibility, and changed the colors of the 3rd and 4th dogs
- Added 3 frame delay after jumping
