Full Attract Mode Update

Present Panic!
A browser christmas arcade game made in HTML5

Update: Implemented some changes to the highscore registration screen, added @Burrowbling to the credits, and added music to the highscore registration screen

The game now features a full attract mode! The Title screen shows the credits, then a how to play as before, but then switches to a demo of the game running followed by the new dedicated high score screen. It took a few days to get the Player AI working and tweaked to play the game at a reasonable level but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. The High Score screen now displays 10 scores instead of 3, which means I had to write a script that upgrades your save file to save more entries. Other than that there are some minor bug fixes, clean up and polish!

  • Game Demo screen with new Player AI (using the most advanced "if else" technology)
  • Dedicated High Score screen
    • High score screen now stores and displays Top 10 scores
    • Save file will be upgraded to new format automatically
  • Present Panic Title shout on Title screen
    • Cleaned up Title art, a few rogue pixels were annoying me
  • Added "dipswitch" options which are inaccessible for now without editing your save file directly
  • Minor Bugfixes
    • Player will now be visible when completing a level after respawning
    • Cleaned up unused variables
