burger run

CONTROLS: - Desktop: - Left Arrow / A: Move left - Right Arrow / D: Move right - Space / Up Arrow / W: Jump - Mobile/Tablet: - Touch left arrow button: Move left - Touch right arrow button: Move right - Touch up arrow button: Jump - Drag controls available for movement - Special Keys: - R: Restart current level - T: Enable speedrun mode (shows timer) - I: Toggle input viewer (shows which buttons are pressed) BASIC MECHANICS: 1. Starting a Level: Each level begins with a bus dropping you off. The 60-second countdown timer starts immediately, displayed as a clock in the top center of the screen. 2. Movement: - Move left and right to navigate platforms - You can change direction mid-air - Player speed is set (default: 4 units) 3. Jumping: - Press Space, Up Arrow, or W to jump - Jump height is fixed (default: -13 units vertically) - You cannot jump again until you land on a platform - Landing creates a sound effect and visual feedback 4. Brick Platforms: - Many platforms are destructible bricks - Land on bricks with sufficient downward velocity (falling speed > 11) to break them - Breaking bricks causes them to splatter into pieces - Breaking bricks gives you a slight upward bounce - Non-destructible platforms are solid and cannot be broken 5. Spikes: - Spikes are instant-death hazards - Touching spikes kills you immediately - Spikes can be positioned on floors, walls, or ceilings - Some spikes rotate or flip to different orientations - Landing on spikes from above is usually safe (depending on orientation) 6. Bus Stop (Exit): - Each level has a bus stop that serves as the exit - Reach the bus stop while standing on a platform (not in mid-air) - You must be relatively centered on the bus stop to activate it - Activating the bus stop calls the bus to pick you up - The bus arrives and takes you to the next level 7. Timer System: - 60-second countdown clock visible at the bottom center - Clock turns red when time is running low (past 180 degrees / halfway) - Game over if timer reaches 360 degrees (60 seconds elapsed) - Timer counts up continuously during gameplay 8. Level Completion: - Reach the bus stop before time runs out - The bus arrives to pick you up - After being picked up, you advance to the next level - Your progress is saved (highest level reached) 9. Death Conditions: - Timer reaches 60 seconds (game over) - Touching spikes (instant death) - Falling too far below the level boundary 10. Gravity and Physics: - Gravity pulls you downward constantly (default: 0.6 units per frame) - Falling speed increases over time - Momentum affects movement and landing 11. Semi-Solid Platforms: - Some platforms are semi-solid (you can pass through from below) - You can jump up through semi-solid platforms - You land on top of semi-solid platforms when falling 12. Visual Effects: - Landing impact creates particle effects - Breaking bricks creates splatter effects - Camera shakes on heavy landings - Background parallax scrolling STRATEGIC TIPS: - Time Management: Always keep an eye on the timer. You have exactly 60 seconds, so move efficiently. - Route Planning: Quickly identify the path to the bus stop. Don't take unnecessary detours. - Brick Breaking: Use heavy falls strategically to break brick platforms that block your path, but don't waste time breaking bricks you don't need to. - Spike Awareness: Watch for spikes in all directions—they can be on floors, walls, and ceilings. Learn which spikes can be safely jumped on. - Jump Timing: Master your jump timing to avoid falling into spikes or missing platforms. Don't jump too early or too late. - Speed Optimization: Move at full speed whenever possible. Don't hesitate at platform edges. - Break Through: If a brick platform blocks you, jump and fall on it hard to break it instead of going around. - Path Efficiency: Take the shortest route to the bus stop. Multiple paths may exist, but time is limited. - Practice Runs: Learn each level's layout and optimal path through practice. - Momentum Control: Maintain forward momentum, but don't overshoot platforms or jump too far. ADVANCED TECHNIQUES: - Brick Breaking Technique: Build up falling speed before landing on destructible bricks. Jump high, then fall straight down onto bricks. - Spike Bypassing: Some spikes can be bypassed by jumping over them or breaking platforms near them. - Fast Falls: Use gravity to your advantage. Sometimes falling faster is better than moving horizontally. - Platform Sequence: Memorize the sequence of platforms you need to hit to reach the exit quickly. - Air Control: Use mid-air direction changes to adjust your landing position without losing speed. - Semi-Solid Navigation: Use semi-solid platforms to your advantage—jump through them from below when it's faster. - Timer Reading: Learn to read the timer angle quickly. When it hits 180 degrees, you're halfway through. - Bus Stop Positioning: Position yourself precisely on the bus stop. You need to be centered and on a platform. - Speedrun Optimization: Enable speedrun mode (T key) to track your best times for each level. - Visual Cues: Pay attention to level graphics and background elements that may indicate safe paths or shortcuts. WINNING AND PROGRESSION: - Level Completion: Successfully reach the bus stop and get picked up by the bus to complete the level. - Multiple Levels: Progress through multiple levels (at least 7 levels available) with increasing difficulty. - Time Challenge: Complete levels as quickly as possible. Beat your personal best times. - Progress Saving: Your highest level reached is saved in browser storage. You can continue from your best level. - Speedrun Mode: Press T to enable speedrun timer, which tracks your time across all levels. - Game Completion: Beat all levels to see the ending sequence and complete the game. - Level Unlocking: Levels unlock as you progress. Your highest unlocked level is saved. Enjoy the fast-paced platforming challenge of 60 Seconds Burger Run, and race against time to reach the bus stop!
