Survival (I think that’s the name) Genre Desktop Game. You’re Death, it’s your day off. You don’t want to kill today, but dudes keep coming to try to love you. The nerve! Kill or avoid as many as possible before you’re no longer evil and become an angel.

\n

Unfinished as it’s missing title screen & intro, sound, and I’d intended to include controls for mobile. Procrastination and poor time management caused me to miss the deadline this year. Source still contains debug code, some unused set-up for added weapons, and hasn’t been cleaned-up well for legibility. Zipped and full source html file are identical; no minification/optimization present.

\n

Controls:\n(NOTE: only validated on EN-US standard keyboard qwerty configuration; CAPSLOCK OFF)

\n

Escape - Restart the game\nArrow keys - movement\ns - swing scythe (attack)

\n

w - (debug) add another wave of dudes right now\nd - (debug) add a single dude right now\nr - (debug) clear all current dudes\np - (debug) toggle loss/fresh death state

Despite the simple graphics I legit laughed playing this game. The grim death character walking around while smiley faces come up with little hearts only to be killed by my scythe was really funny to me.

\n

Some indication of whether I was doing well or not would be helpful.

I’m death but I die if I kill too many people? :)

You did put some nice effects in, like the dead dudes fading into nothingness!

An interesting concept, fending off smileys.

Very nice concept! The computer-generated graphics looks clean but nice!

Fun to run around swinging the scythe.

\n

The graphics were fun as were the animations.

\n

No matter how much I chopped, new waves of beings kept appearing so I found it difficult to progress.

\n

Would like to see a version of this with more in.

Simple but easy to understand graphics. Seems like a cute idea too. Very easy to understand.

Not that bad for an unfinished game, nice concept to kill with scythe depending of your direction
