Our game allocated a LOT of memory and that caused it to reach the 2GB limit of browsers. I guess spawning hundreds of mobs, xp point drops, audio objects etc requires some finesse.
It has now been fixed and the new version should be available.

Crown & Flame might not make the deadline 1

I spent a lot of time working out the lighting system and I still have no sound, need to finish some spritework, code some final interactions and make levels. I'll still finish the game for sure, but I really wanted to make it to the ranked jam.

For reference, the game was inspired by the classic "Mountain King" from 1983, but very loosely.

22nd Alakajam is postponed (EDIT: no longer!) 0

It is with great sadness that I announce that the 22nd Alakajam is postponed. Due to events and business going on in the lives of the administrators and event hosters, things this year have been slower than usual and this is unfortunately still slowing things down. We will update the schedule and resume jamming goodness as soon as we can!

A little assistance perhaps.. 0

Thank you so much for playing my game. It means a great deal.

I chose the upside down approach because I wanted to have the cannon change positions on the screen, left, right, top, bottom but there just wasn't enough time.

You are right, it is time to add some music and particle affects.

I am going to add some bonus ups too:

  1. 10 balls will enter the play area and fall up into the platforms
  2. 15 seconds to allow any hit to score points top and under
  3. 15 seconds where the platforms score doubles
  4. Extra Ball
  5. Add 2 1000 point platforms

If anyone in the community can think of anything else that might be cool to add to the game I would love to hear it.

Thanks to all who have played the game, it is greatly appreciated.

Downloadable executable versus Web Play 8

Beebster • 9 months ago on 21st Alakajam! entry  Alakazam 21

My game is a downloadable executable for Windows.I imagine you get the message where Windows does not want you to execute the program.

I am curious as to how many here do not download a game and play it, but will more likely play a web based game.

The reason I ask is that I am thinking about learning how to use emscripten and if it is worth the trouble.

Thanks ahead of time for any input.
