Weather of a Lifetime
Web MUST be played in full screen; download recommended. If playing in browser and there is lag, try disabling post processing from the main menu (WILL require reload)
The weather keeps changing and you're trying to get home!
It was an ordinary day outside until suddenly a torrential downpour started, then some snow, and then acid rain, and then some more...
Try to get home with the weather forecast of your life
Each weather changes gameplay, generating a risk and reward system.
- Sun - No change
- Rain - Movement is slowed, unless you use your umbrella!
- Lightning - Stay undercover or you'll be zapped; and keep that umbrella safe!
- Acid Rain - Stay undercover or let your umbrella tank your hits
- Wind - Prepare to be blown away!
- Fog - Who turned out the lights?
- Snow - You'll slide like there was no tomorrow...
Use your trusty umbrella or stay undercover
The umbrella stops the slowness of rain, and can even take 5 hits of acid, but don't use it when there's lightning around...
Your umbrella is your second life, it stops rain, has 5 HP for acid and will help give you another chance when there's lightning, but don't let it get destroyed otherwise you may be caught out when the weather turns.
Controls
AD - Move
SPACE - Jump
U - Toggle umbrella
R - Reload Level
ESC - Quit to Main Menu
TIP: If the character sometimes doesn't jump, try jumping from a still state and make sure you aren't off ground or bouncing.
Full Weather Description
- Sun - Does nothing, enjoy your respite
- Rain - Halves your jump and movement speed unless you toggle the umbrella
- Acid - Hitting you will -1 heart or -1 umbrella HP if active
- Snow - Increases your move and jump speed and covers the level in snow!
- Wind - Constantly pushes you to the right
- Fog - You have limited vision for a while
- Lightning - If you don't stay undercover your conductivity meter will fill up every 3 seconds you are exposed. If it fills and you are still out of cover you will be struck by lightning and killed. However, if you have your umbrella active the umbrella will be destroyed instead and you get an extra 3 seconds to go on to find cover. (Cover counts as any ground 7 units or less above you)
