About Rise!

This game is a submission to the js13k competition, and lets you play as a buried skeleton that tries to dig its way up to the necromancer that awoke you. It's inspired by the classic horror trope of a zombie raising its hand through the dirt at a cemetary. The fina artifact is a single `index.html` that has everything built in.

Rise! was submitted to the js13kGames 2022 competition by Feenposhleen. It earned competition recognition. Like every js13k entry, the entire game — code, art, and audio — fits in 13 kilobytes, a constraint that rewards focused, clever design over bulk. Bundling and processing simply consists of concatenating all the .js files in `/src` (hence the naming of those), running the result through Closure Compiler, and then inserting the resulting code into the template file at the root of the project along with the CSS.

How to Play

Rise! uses standard browser-game controls (keyboard, mouse, or touch). Open the game via the source link below to see the in-game instructions, as controls vary per entry.

As a js13k entry, expect a focused experience built around one core mechanic. Read the title screen for the specific objective and any special inputs.
