The campfires are Igor’s only place of safety in the night so make sure to collect logs to fuel the fires.
Controls:
Use the ( W A S D ) keys , Arrow keys or Mouse to move the player.
Use the Spacebar to dodge attacks
Pick up logs of wood and press E when within a campfire to keep yourself safe
Accessibility features in the game:
- Sound compass is pointing in the direction of the enemy so that the user knows the whereabouts of the enemy.
- In the bottom right of the game a camera icon is used so that the game has no camera shake.
- In the game no flashing lights have been used meaning the game is operable for more users.
- Simple controls (arrow keys and cursor/click) have been used for people that have issues with mobility.
- In future parts of the game more accessibility features can be added to the options bar which is found on the start-up page, this could include a colour blindness filter and the inclusion of touchscreen interaction.
The Exit feature is for a downloaded copy of the game (.exe) and just leaving or pressing back on the webpage will work for the browser version of the game.
