Squarely's Adventure

A Graphics-free Top-down Adventure Game

How To Run

The game can be played in any modern web browser, but must be hosted by a web server. It is not sufficient to open the index.html file using the file:// protocol.

For local testing, I use the simple HTTP server provided by Python.

cd squarelys-adventure
python3 -m http.server 8080

How To Play

Move using WASD or the arrow keys.

Rotate Squarely by pressing the Enter key.

Blocks interact with Squarely based on their color:

• Black blocks are walls that cannot be moved or passed through.

• Yellow blocks are keys, which open the doors represented by blue blocks.

• Green blocks change Squarely's size and shape as he pushes against them.

• Magenta blocks can be pushed, provided that Squarely is bigger than they are.

• White blocks are teleporters that will move Squarely to a new area.
