Run, run, run, RUN!

Help Kat navigate the platforms, find tasty fish-shaped treaties and remove the pesky breakable brick-a-brack that the Hoomans have left lying around... However, watch out for the dangerous piles of kipple that are also scattered about! Running into that will knock you right off your perch!

Use spacebar or up-arrow to jump. F1 or "h" key (for help) will show you what keys are currently available. The "e" key takes you to the level editor.

I got the idea for this game (complete with title) about fifteen minutes before the jam started. Over the course of the last ten days, I wrote the game and created all the assets. The final product is about 1200 lines of Racket/Urlang code -- which includes the engine (which, among other things, includes a particle system). It's compiled to JavaScript so it runs in your browser.

This game is not only an entry for the 2024 Autumn Lisp Game Jam, but also a demonstration of how to use the Canned Heat game engine... uh... philosophy? See more examples at https://hg.sr.ht/~oofoe/candheat
