Ephemera

Here's my submission for the 2023 Gamedev.js Jam. This was made during finals season so I wasn't able to work on it as much as I wanted to, but I'm still proud of what I was able to create. There are only 4 levels, but the later ones are quite difficult so hopefully you'll enjoy the challenge (I promise they're all beatable, it just takes some thinking).

Controls:

WASD: Pan camera

Q/E: Zoom out/in

R: Reset camera position and zoom

Note that these controls are optional and the entire game can be played with only a mouse. Touchscreen should work as well, but I haven't tested that so expect some bugs to pop up.

Theme:

Each turn lasts for a limited TIME before your units despawn. I wanted to do some more stuff with this theme originally but couldn't find the TIME.

Code:

My code is open source but the internals are ugly since being able to quickly push out a working prototype was more important than good software design or process.

Assets Used:
