Information We Track

In this game, we actively log information such as:

• Playtime
• Death Locations
• Enemy Deaths
• Mute/Unmute
• and other game related data...

We do not log any personally-identifiable information. Each session is given a random UUID.

How We Use This Information

We are currently using the data as part of our course at Cornell University, CS4154: Analytics-Driven Game Design. We generate heatmaps (of player deaths), burndown charts, and state transition diagrams. These logistics help us improve our game and find ways to make the game less frustrating for players. No information gathered via this game will be shared or made public outside of the course.

Game Engine

Parts of our game engine were based off of the example given by James Long, on his article "Making Sprite-based Games with Canvas" . We've rewritten/updated many parts of the original code but would still like to give credit to the inspiration.

Music

The music is "Patakas World" from DL Sounds.

Title Font

The font used on the title screen is Visual Magnets by Xerographer Fonts!

Inspiration

We'd like to thank Erik Andersen for his support in the creation of this game! This game would not be possible without CS4154: Analytics-Driven Game Design. Much thanks also goes out to his TAs, Zikai Wen and Rundong Wu! All of their feedback during early iterations of the game were incredibly helpful.
