How to play:

Browse through the selection of magical owls, and simply click on the 'Choose' button.

Collect 800 points to level up! Currently there are 4 levels in the game.

Desktop Controls:

Press the spacebar to make your owl ascend

Use the arrow keys to navigate left or right

Mobile Controls:

I added some basic touch controls just to test it on mobile devices with a max screen width of 554px. The game needs more optimization for smoother gameplay on mobile devices.

Touch left Circle to ascend

Touch middle circle to navigate left, right circle to navigate right

Gamedev.js Jam 2023 Theme:

I integrated the Gamedev.js Jam 2023 theme of "Time" into the gameplay by incorporating the feature of collecting time-warping clocks. It is supposed to add a layer of excitement and challenge as players navigate the mystical world, hopefully making this game more engaging

Flash Revival Challenge:

This game draws inspiration from my beloved 2000s Flash games: Harry Potter: Escape from the Dursleys and Robot Unicorn Run.

 I tried to combine their simple and engaging gameplay and magical themes into a modern version.

By adding 3D graphics, golden egg elements from Escape from the Dursleys, and modernizing it with hyper-casual mechanics, this game aims to capture the same level of excitement and enchantment that made the original titles so memorable and cherished by my younger self.

About:

It it my first "complete" game, it was developed as an entry for the Gamedev.js Jam 2023, this initial release is inspired by the nostalgic atmosphere of classic Harry Potter: Escape from the Dursleys and Robot Unicorn Run games. Built using JavaScript and Three.js,

Your feedback and support are greatly appreciated, as they will help guide further development and improvements. If the game resonates with players, additional features and refinements will be implemented to enhance the magical adventure.

Things I'd like to implement in the future: more owls, more levels and obstacles, better mobile optimization, scoresheet functionality, in-game rewards and multiplayer.

Hope you're having fun!
