Nice take on the theme. The short version of the code does not work due to double backticks (\`\` instead of \`).
Foon → Ludum Dare Explorer → LD54 → geom dsh

Thanks to @godsboss I managed to play the game! I like the meta take of the theme, I remember very few entries of this kind over the numerous LDs I entered (notabily one in the url edit - a runner too - and another one in the page icon - wich I forgot the gameplay), but I think this is the first one I just had to copy-paste less than 300 chars in an editor in order to play it :smile: Good job! p.s.: you may have forgot to opt-out of Audio cat, unless you took the choice of considering silence as an appropriate sound for this kind of idea :joy:
I'm missing something here. when I paste that code I get this:
"SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list"
nevermind saw the bottom link. I got a 382
Great interpretation of the theme! I don't think I've ever encountered a limited source code game in LD before. A lot of game-play in so few lines.
What a fun way to spend your jam! Your ideas are often very much "out of the box" :smile: I like how you have a commented version of your game. Did you make that first, and then condensed it into the tweet-sized code?
One thing I could not really figure out is why the game would start with 198 points for the score. I see why the code does it, I just don't get the choise :-)
Edit: btw: your cover image is missing at the moment. Was that on purpose?
@godsboss Ah, in some markdown editors that escapes the backticks. Turns out it doesn't here. Fixed that! Thanks for the heads up
@lereveur Ha, good call I'll opt out of audio :)
@wouter52 Ah, was somewhat distracted when uploading my game, so I missed the cover image. Added, thanks!
The reason the score starts at a random number is because I was reusing an existing variable to make the score, and it would take more characters to make that start at 0 :) I potentially could've got rid of the #LDJam hashtag I suppose :P
I started writing the game in JavaScript, as I would write it with if statements and regular functions and such, and then started making it smaller and cutting features. The game used to be on a circle, and whenever you landed more obstacles appeared, but those all took too many characters to fit. As I worked on it, I had a version that was not quite as split up as the commented version is, but it had newlines and indents to make things more readable.
