Greeble is an HTML5 game where you are the captain of a crashed spaceship. You are ALONE but need some help to survive. Collect the cryo-keys to activate the stasis pods in order to free your friends. Features pixel-perfect, non-grid platforming, bounce-pads, transparent glass tubes, a fun retro "scan line" effect, silly AI followers and A KITTEN. Your objective is to navigate to the exit where you will be rewarded with a trampoline party!
Use the ARROW KEYS to move around. Try to find a way to revive all your friends (including the hidden secret kitten, which signifies my enthusiastic participation in the "kitten challenge") so you can all bounce on the trampoline at the end.
I had so much fun making this game. I even had time to hang out with friends, go for a hike, and decorate my house for the holidays! There is a lot of room for improvement but overall I'm really happy with the final product.
Created using ippa lix's wonderful jawsjs game engine.
The word "greeble" comes from the original Star Wars ILM special effects artists who used the term to describe generic "tech" bits and pieces that adorn sci-fi hulls. There are thousands of greebles in this game's level art.
Ludum Dare is so much FUN.
