Allo's Arena
Since this is for a jam, I have no doubt there will be reported bugs along the way. They will be posted here as they are found and will be fixed once the jam is over.
Allo is Dino's cousin. He is not into the big adventures, but he still likes a little challenge now and then. Join him as he navigates smaller timed missions, each with their own routes, upgrades, powerups and objectives.

pro-tip zoom in on this page for all the delicious pixels. the sound is awesome, much respect for making a tiny thingy. i felt like the level design worked well too, wearing the metroid inspiration on its sleeve. that cat nearlyy ended one of my runss!
awesome game! what engine do you use?
No game engine was used. This is raw javascript and a resource file I created with my game editor which was made in raw javascript. So, it's kinda like a direct and indirect javascript application. :O
I have expanded the project to include the other missions and music I wanted to include.
oh wow thats so cool!
The games awesome, I just think there was one part of the level I could not figure out.
The timer adds pressure to complete each mission, no doubt. I did do some extra checking to make sure each mission can be completed, but with a jam on the go, I will not be able to update until the jam has been completed.
