FireFly

by:  Bee Bussell, Andrew Hillhouse, and Gitasuk Arthur Jur

Welcome to the FireFly Showcase, the culmination of our senior design project. In FireFly, you are Flyph, a lost firefly seeking its way back home. Gain speed, avoid obstacles, and soar through levels in our tightly designed platforming game.

You can play the game by downloading it below.

Controls

• Movement: Use the arrow keys or the left joystick of a plugged-in controller to move around
• Jump: Press the spacebar or the A button to jump.
• Fast Fall: While in the air you can press down to quickly fall to the floor
• Slide: While on the ground you can hold down to slide across the floor. You can use this to slide down hills and sustain your speed.

Wall Jumps:

• Wall Jump: You can launch yourself away and off a wall simply by jumping while against the wall.
• Upward Wall Jump: You can launch yourself upwards off a wall by holding up while doing a regular wall jump.
• Downward Wall Jump: You can launch yourself downwards with a burst of speed by holding down while doing a regular wall jump.

Glow:

• Light up your path by filling the Glow Meter through quick precise movement.
• Enter GLOW mode by pressing the Right Bumper or Shift once the meter is full.
• But be careful as Flyph accelerates rapidly when glowing, requiring a skilled hand to maintain control.

Feedback:

As this is a prototype we are looking to hear your thoughts about the game so far. Here are some things we are looking to know your opinion about:

• How do the controls feel?
• Were there any movements that you struggled to perform?
• Was there any movements that didn't behave like you expected?
• Were there any segments that you felt unfair?

If you would like to submit feedback please respond to this survey

Thank You For Your Time!!!
