Wait, where did you get those images on the preview pictures?
Unicode / Emojis?
I haven’t the right font here, so the game resolved around comparing Unicode codepoints being shown as fallback glyph here …
A lil bummer, that the bar at the bottom was out of view so I only could estimate the time depending on the luminance …
After playing through all the games in the jam, I've made a post on some of my favorites and included your game! Check it out here.
(You already know this, but I'm leaving this comment on all games I play so...) Played this on stream. Check out the vod here for my thoughts. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1003938134?t=01h19m51s
Took me a few times to get through, but managed it in the end :)
Very impressive that this was all done in CSS, good job!
Damn! I didn’t even see a slight hint of CSS variable. Truly impressive 😲😮
Love to read the postmortem of this game.
I used Sass which compiles away the variables: https://github.com/starzonmyarmz/gamedevjs-jam-2021/tree/main/sass
The atmosphere really drags you into the game. And although it might not be that replayable, because locations are not randomized, I really really wanted to get to the end! Truly impressive, especially considering you did not use any JS?? Also not even onclick functions in html? 😮
A simple but deceptively difficult game. Took me a few tries to beat it, but I did it!
I liked how music got progressively more anxiety-inducing, I was on my toes during the last levels. One issue: sometimes the 'Ding!' sound wouldn't play even if I picked the correct hieroglyph.
