Revisiting the absOrb beta ahead of the Effect Games launch. This is a prototype of the first all original game built on an early version of the Effect Engine (a 2D game engine written in JavaScript).
Inspired by a random thought and a love of 2D vertical scrolling shoot-em-ups, the beta is a test of the game control scheme.
Edit:
The full Version 1 will be released in early 2010. More detailed write up to follow.
Play the absOrb beta.
It’s a great game. Have you considered making all 4 colors map to a different key? QWER perhaps. I think it would be a much more addictive game if it were. I’d be interested in throwing down some code too if ya want some help.
We do have the 1, 2, 3 and 4 number keys mapped in version 1 but allowing custom key mapping is a great idea. Thanks!
