FireFly Showcase

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 their way back home. Gain speed, avoid obstacles, and soar through levels in our tightly designed platforming game.

You can play it on the site or you can download it for improved performance. If you are running a lower end machine and struggling to load the game, you may need to download a native application in order to load the game.

Controls

• Movement: Use the arrow keys or alternatively the left joystick of a plugged in controller in order to move around
• Jump: Press the spacebar or the A button in order to jump.
• Fast Fall: While in the air you can press down in order to quickly fall to the floor
• Slide: While on the ground you can hold down in order 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 a wall.
• Upward Wall Jump: You can launch yourself up and 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:

• Illuminate the path forward by filling the Glow Meter through movement.
• Enter GLOW mode by pressing the Right Bumper or Shift once the meter is full.
• Exercise caution in GLOW mode as Flyph accelerates, adding an element of unpredictability to your journey.

Feedback:

As this is a prototype we are really 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 preform?
• 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!!!
