RRRRRR

How to play:

	Keyboard
Move	left/right arrow
Shoot	Spacebar

 

This game is a love letter to VVVVVV which is a 2010 puzzle-platform game.

RRRRRR = Rotate Rotate Rotate Rotate Rotate Rotate

 

About the game:

The ordinary platformer games with jump or double-jump are kind of boring, 

Think of a platformer game where the player doesn’t need to jump to pass the level.

But if the player can't jump, how to get through obstacles?

In VVVVVV,  you can just reverse gravity and walk on the ceiling. Basically there is two gravity directions in VVVVVV, player can flip the gravity anytime.

But just upside down is not enough,

let’s be crazier than VVVVVV,  increase from two gravity directions to four gravity directions

Let's make it 4 way directions

However it would be weird to have a guy sticking on a vertical wall like this:

So I thought, why not keep the player stand still and rotate the world around him?

It ended up like this:

Deconstruction of game:

You might already figured that the rotation effect is achieved by CSS transitions on the whole canvas. It's a little bit hacky to do it this way, but it's very easy to code and it works pretty well as an HTML5 game, and I think it's cool to take advantage of some CSS features to help realize part of the game mechanics.

I am always interested in sharing and discussing the technical details with the community by providing a deconstruction view of the whole project.

Leave comments below if you want to know the implementation details of any game mechanics and features.

If you want to know how to make this game, stay tuned for my blogs releasing soon.
