Introduction

You're a person who just wake up, except everything is different around you! And ... you keep falling asleep again around 8:00... only to wake up at exactly 7:24 again! Something is clearly wrong. Find your way out of this bad dream!

This is my entry for the MicoJS Jam, which uses the MicoJS brought by FManga (https://github.com/felipemanga). It's rather short and unpolished, but I do hope it's fun enough for you!

Gameplay & Controls

• Pad - Move around.
• A - Open doors, Activate levers.
• B - Pick up or put down items.
• You can only carry one item!
• After the time reach 8:00, the world is reset to 7:24 again.
• Your watch indicates the time.
• You might want to focus your efforts in each run to find the way out!
• You can use B to skip the initial countdown to 7:24.

Good luck!

Notes

• I only own the Pokitto and Gamebuino Meta, binaries work on these (at least on my devices). I'm not sure about the otherone, hopefully they do!
• If it works, it should be playable on each devices despite the resolution changes. I wish there were a 2x zoom feature for the higher resolution devices tho ...
• I had to cut a lot of things because everything is costly in this implementation of javascript. Which is, tbh, already a feat for these memory/cpu limited devices!!
• I shall release the source once I find a proper license!
• Hu, about the 0.0.1 version, I had an issue rebuilding the binaries, but they're expected to be 1.0.0! Sorry for that

Thanks

• To FManga for the amazing MicoJS and everything he brought to these DIY consoles!
• To Jonne for the Pokitto that made me get into these devices.
• To the whole Pokitto's community for their support and liveliness!
