Overview
A browser game that doubles as the invitation to my Halloween birthday party. Players type in their name, then run down Vista Avenue dodging dancing skeletons, spinning pumpkins, flying ghosts and dropping spiders to reach a Dracula-castle door. Behind it, the Keeper asks three questions about me. Miss the last one and the ghosts swarm, though you can always resurrect and try again. Get it right and the sunrise chases them away, and you can RSVP right from the game.
Built with plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript on a tiny 320×180 canvas, scaled up for crisp pixels. There are no image files: every sprite is drawn from a small grid of characters, and the sound effects come from a little synthesizer written with the Web Audio API.
