Not too much to say for now, this is just a project that was worked on over a couple of hours and will be continued to be added to and improved.
V0 was extremely bare bones.
- Had a main character with up/down and left/right animations, and a sock trailing effect.
- Had a looping music track on menu and on gameplay.
- Had sound effects for start, quit, and death.
- Had start and quit buttons.
- Had score.
V1 still is. But there have been some improvements.
- Resized the game to make the playing field and character larger.
- Added an options screen with 5 looped music tracks, volume slider.
- Added basic instructions to this screen as well.
- Added outlines to the flying socks to make them easier to distinguish.
- Added outline to main character for same reason.
- Added a local high score option, which will update through the session.
- Added 5 additional ending dialogues, which are chosen at random.
- Removed main character's sock particle effect for now.
- Added bubbles, their sound effects. and the ability to gain ten points for their collection.
- Reworked the sock spawner slightly for more variable speeds. You might not like the results.
- Added a mouse over sound effect to all buttons. I love this sort of thing.
- Added an idle animation to the main character for when there is no input.
- Removed the swimming animation when main character moved downwards. Some people did not like that.
V1.1 (Bug fix)
- Quit was disabled in the browser version.
Plans for future updates, in no order and not totally inclusive;
- Credits
- Difficulty adjustments
- Some visual bug fixes/improvements.
- Better Instructions with their own dedicated button
- Possible change or vary the loot
- Add a bit of story to give the situation some context
- Save function, which will come with the downloadable version returning
- Difficultly modifiers, such as lives and more socks
- Score multiplying events
- More dialogue, opening and ending at very least.
- More socks?
- Additional levels?
- Change death sound, something fluffier.
Of course, I'll take player feedback into account. So let me know. Thanks!
