LUNA CRUENTA

A gory little arcade game in four colours. The whole thing is one HTML file of 9,999 bytes, made for the 10 Kilobytes Jam. You are chained to a spiked iron ball and dropped into a room full of the dead. The chain can only pull, so you can't aim the ball. You run, it follows, and if you run in circles it swings. That's the game. How to play Mouse: you run after the pointer. Touch: drag anywhere on the screen. No keyboard, no buttons. Click to start, click to pick a card, click to try again. A slow ball only pushes things around. A fast ball pops them. You have three hearts. Don't touch anything that moves. Kill enough and three cards slam down. Pick one: a longer chain, a bigger ball, and so on. The blood never gets cleaned up. That's on purpose. If the title screen is silent, click once. Browsers won't play sound until you do. I asked if there was a way around it. Three times. There isn't. Who you'll meet Shambler. Walks at you. Half of what you kill will be these. Runner. Small, and more than twice as fast. Spitter. Keeps its distance and spits three ways. Standing still gets you hit. Bloater. Bursts when it dies and takes its neighbours with it. You too, if you're close. Brute. Twice the size. A lazy swing bounces off it. Leaves a heart when it dies. What I'm willing to tell you There is an ending. It takes four or five minutes, if you live that long. There are two bosses. I'm not saying when they show up. About the scoreboard The top three scores are saved with a five-letter name. Sadly, they are saved only in your own browser, because a server doesn't fit in 10KB. Nobody can see your score unless you make them look. So here is my suggestion. Send this to a coworker in the middle of the workday, compare scores, and the lowest one buys the coffee. I take no responsibility for what your boss says.
