stargazer

>> Play now! <<

Works best on Chrome. And on your touch pad / mobile as well! This project was an assignment for Multimedia Programming at the LMU Munich.

HOW TO PLAY

• Press space, hit the mouse or tap to jump. You need fuel to jump. To recharge, stop jumping and wait for a amount of time.
• Press M to mute/unmute the music.
• Obstacles spawn randomly. The longer you survive, the faster and more often they spawn.
• Upgrades are green and blue stars, which spawn randomly as well. The longer you survive, the more frequently they spawn.
  • Green star: Fuels up jet pack and gives between 50 and 100 extra points.
  • Blue star: Gives between 1000 and 2000 extra points.
• If you reach the top, you will lose all your velocity and all your fuel. So don't.
• Keep an eye on your fuel level. The less fuel you have, the lower you will jump and the longer delay before recharging.
