Hey there! 

This is the video game portion for my dissertation, Level 101: A Video Game About Video Games


The instructions should pop up when you load in, but in general, use your mouse to click the menus, Enter to move through conversations, arrow keys to move when necessary, and space to start levels. Make sure to hit the blue Fullscreen button to render it properly!

There are several levels that you can access. 

  1. Start Menu
  2. Level Select/World Map
  3. Levels 1-0 and 1-1 to the North (History)
  4. Level 2-0 to the East (Design)

These playable levels are proof of concept level designs for a longer project. Currently, the game demo is designed for play with a mouse/keyboard in web browsers. Thanks in advance for your patience with any bugs or design issues, as this was created by a solo, first-time developer.
