Don't Look Back VR!

Enjoy the stunning beauty of the Wild West, but beware of outlaws lurking around: They'll keep coming back to pester you more than you can imagine...

Don't Look Back is a short WebXR game of cowboys and chickens made with A-Frame for JS13K Games 2019 on the theme "Back", inspired by carnival shooting galleries and my love for pixelart.

Getting started

• Run npm install
• Then run npm run-s dev to serve the game locally (with live-reload on changes)
• or run npm run-s build to build the game bundle (minified and compressed) for JS13K Games submission

Controls:

Don't Look Back supports all 3DoF devices; no controller is required to play the game. Shoot chickens and outlaws by gazing at them. Chickens act as a safe playground for you to experiment with the game mechanics before your curiosity kills the cat and starts the game...

Web monetization:

Coil subscribers get 20% more outlaws to shoot at and get addressed as "Cowboy Coil"!

Tested on:

• Chrome & Firefox, Google Cardboard and Oculus Go (I never managed to enable VR mode on Google DayDream)
• thanks to JulienK for testing Coil subscribers add-ons.

Things that didn't make the cut:

I started halfway through the competition this year and I ran out of time to add the following:

• idle/death sprite animations for outlaws and chickens,
• Western ambient music,
• aiming/shooting with 3DoF controllers (Oculus Go, DayDream) if present
