Mouse Wheel
My entry for the The Very Serious Juniper Dev Game Jam! This is the first real game jam I participated in, so please be nice to me or I will cry.
You are a Rat, exploring the Cheese Caves in order to hopefully gather enough cheese to feed your loving family. Spin your wheel to unlock gadgets that allow you to overcome any hazards you may find. Will you be able to collect enough to survive for the winter? Or will you be responsible for their untimely demise?
CONTROLS:
- Arrow keys/WASD to walk/jump
- Shift to spin
- Q/E or 1-9 to switch between abilities
- 0 to open the wheel menu
- R to reset
- F to fullscreen
(In Wheel Menu)
- Arrow keys/WASD to look at gadgets
- Z to spin wheel
- X to purchase gadgets

First of all, very impressive the work you’ve done in such a small amount of time. I made platformers before and they are in no way easy to make. And making that many abilities in one week is just madness. Well done.
A few quick shot comments:
Anyway, great entry. As I said, impressive you’ve made this in only one week. Well done!
Art looks great however wasd or arrow keys doesn’t seem to work for me. Running on Firefox. The game responds to some inputs, for instance Z/shift to start on the main screen worked no problem. Just ingame wasd/arrows don’t do anything. E (swap abilities) seems to work ingame.
If it gets fixed I’ll give it another go :)
Hi, thank you so much! I think I may have poorly communicated this, but at the beginning you have to bring up the wheel menu with 0 and close it first in order for movement to be enabled, which is my bad. I have a bit of dialogue and added some text to hopefully make this more clear.
Nice, thanks for the clarification, I gave it another try and left a comment. Very impressive, well done!
Will also update my rating. Good luck!
