Luigi - Mastering Energy

by ForsakenLlamas - Jam Entry

Hi there,

this time we tried to learn new things.
Therefore we used for the first time HTML5 and JavaScript.

STORY:

We made up a tiny little game called "Luigi - Mastering Energy".
You are Luigi and your task is to reach the next dimension trough an gate.
Therefore you have to use your "unconventional weapon" ENERGY to activate elements in the right order.

You have an battery pack attached, which has a certain amount of energy to activate elements. This energy also represents you health, so be careful.

On you way trough the dimension your environment changes. Everything speeds up and costs more energy. So don't get destroyed too often and try to reach an high level.

HINT: If you're LOW on energy you can use the generator ( at the bottom left of the screen) to charge.


CONTROLS:

Left/A: Left
Right/B: Right
Up/W: Jump
R: restart


TOOLS: XHTML, JavaScript with EaselJS, GIMP, BFXR & BoscaCeoil

An interesting game, but I missed the
theme.
I like the character-design.

Interesting game, it was a fun concept. I'd love to see it expanded with more levels.

Nice concept, but it seems to be very repetitive, as all the levels were almost the same and not that challenging. Luigi looks cute. :)

Good concept. More levels would add a lot of fun. I found the bg music a little bit repetitive.

Interesting concet, took me a while to understand what I was supposed to do. I think the mechanic has a lot of potential though and it has been realized very well with the visuals.

Was a little like donkey kong.

Interesting, but I felt that things weren't well explained. I didn't immediately realize that I first had to "unlock" the elements and then charge objects which looked different from the lock.

Mini Submission FAQ

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.

CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.

If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.

CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.

CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).

MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.

MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.

NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
