Mowing Max
About
My first home computer was an ATARI 800 XL with datasette. I bought a game called "Rasenmäher" from the label "Europa Computer Club" in my local warehouse "Karstadt" and played this game a lot. So now, I decided to make a similiar game. It's still in development as a sparetime project. I use plain JavaScript with HTML5 canvas, no Framework, to keep things simple.
Goal:
- mowe the gras
- don´t mowe gras twice or more, you lost money
- the last mowing step becomes to stones, sudden death
- don't collide with walls
At the moment, you can't finish the level :)
TODO:
- adding more levels
- adding sounds
- adding more gameplay logic
- little shop to buy usefull stuff like fuel, repairing ....
- angry dog, mole
- beautiful flowers, don´t mowe them!
this game with keyboard:
cursor-keys = change direction (or to start in any direction)
fire button = left control-key
speed up = fire + cursor up
speed down = fire + cursor down
My tools:
- PhpStorm as my favourite IDE
- Aseprite for graphics
- Tiled for creating levels :)
- ATARI800 Emulator for creating sounds in ATARI Basic and to play the original "Rasenmäher" and other great ATARI 800 games
- Renoise for sample-editing and music composing in the future
- Vite for more modern JavaScript features during development and deployment
