The Load Screen Escapes

The Load Screen Escapes is a procedurally generated infinite runner where the team attempts to run away from a Skellie horde with their loot. Kali swings her axe to take down Skellies and Walls but the duo must keep running.

Feature Breakdown:

• Designed as a super small web app with no data storage
  • It means no high score saved without a screenshot
  • Meant to abide by California and European standards for non-data collection
• Infinite Runner
• Single button game
  • Any button or left mouse click will trigger Kali's Attack
  • Users can hold down attack for repeated action
  • Tab is excluded for keyboard web navigation
• One hit to either Kali or Tony ends the run
• Skellies take one hit to kill
  • 18 different Skellies
• Walls take one to five hits to destroy
  • Variable height
  • life bar expands to show greater health
• 20 different runner sections
  • each has its own background
• Score is calculated by taking distance traveled times Skellie and Wall kills, with walls worth more.
• Game designed as an Easter Egg to be found on theloadscreen.com.
  • Optimized at less than 6 MB!!
• Some Sound FX will likely be swapped out for better ones
• Music sound track "Planet L 3" used with permission of Future Earth

Possible Issues:

• Sound effects -
  • Kali's attack sound may not play every attack when repeated
  • Chasing Skellie footsteps may not be loud enough
  • Skellie death sound effect is weak right now
• Animations -
  • Kali might get stuck in attack animation if attacking as she is hit
  • Skellies may bunch up and not run if front Skellie is too slow
    • that is kind of funny when it happens though
• Attack hit box
  • might be a little generous
