This game is about a character who wants to escape from the 13th floor using the stairs, avoiding some giant moths.
\nThe idea was inspired from true events, I lived with my wife and kids on a 13th floor, and there was a time when both elevators were not working, so my wife had to use the stairs, also she doesn’t like moths.
\nThe objective is to get to the ground floor, avoiding the moths. If you are hit by a moth you lose one life.
\nTo play you can use on-screen buttons or keyboard up - down arrows.
\nPlain js, html and css. I’m using a 2D canvas library I’ve been writing for a couple of years. Code is minified using terser.
\nTip: there are no moths at the edges of the stairs.
\nMy wife and kids who helped me with ideas and beta testing.

Everything makes sense and the challenge is there in a natural kind of way. I like that it requires decent user movement in order to get all the way to the bottom. I have to admit that I failed about 5 times before I won. Lol

I thought white button shirts were falling from the sky, but now I know they were moths. The main reason I died was because I was too impatient :) I’m glad each floor had a safe haven or I would have died from anxiety. This game deserved a goofy background music.

Paradoxically, it’s harder at the beginning than at the end because I have little sight of the moths and little time to react on the top floor compared to the bottom ones.
