Martian Sock Challenge by jshaffer94247
Connections between worlds are often obvious...AFTER it has been pointed out. Why didn't we figure this out years ago??
This game is HTML5 based and can be played with a PC mouse, with a touch screen, or with keyboard "A" and "D" for the serious. It should work on mobile.
You WIN if you collect 100 pairs of socks, but the game allows you to keep going if you are challenging a friend. (Infinite collector, I suppose.)
"High Score" is only kept for the session, so if you actually get a "double dog dare" you'll need to take a screenshot to show your friends. There are badges up to 100 that will show up in your screenshot if you make it that far, so you can prove you did it. (Badges are not shown in the screenshots below for exactly that reason.)
Some things I learned along the way:
* Warm-up weekend would have been a great idea :\
* Art may or may not be my strong suit :\
* Leave more time for player testing!

Nice little game, but gets really tough really fast.

Haha, funny little game. :) I got to 47, and then my eyes started to hurt from looking too long at quickly rotating socks. ;)

Made me laugh a bit. And was also fun for a couple of minutes. I've always been wondering where those socks are going...

:) Glad you had fun. Original plan included levels and...yeah, well, y'all know what happened to that, right? Took me until Saturday after midnight (um, guess that means Sunday) to get the basic mechanic of showing which socks you'd collected to work. Didn't leave any time for all those other ideas. Lessons learned for next year!

Hi there. First of all... haha! Good idea, like the high speed spinning at same time introduce the patterned socks... cruel. Good job, nice SFX.

There's something charming about the little smiley aliens. Interesting progression to try and make the matching harder.

Funny idea, but don't see how it fits into connected worlds.
