HIDE v1.3
Game Introduction
HIDE version 1.3 ▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪ I put a lot of work into this project, a love or fave would mean a lot to me! Project canceled - for more information please read below. ▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪ NEWS - 05/06/17 I am sorry to say, this is the last version of Hide, I have to leave it at these twenty levels. Although I already started on some new levels, I didn't have the time to continue. Scratch changed over time and some scripts seem to broke, which doesn't make sense to rework. I need the time to learn more, and improve my works. Still, I would like to thank you guys for all the liking, it was the best motivation I could receive. This project is a real inspiration to me and maybe one day, it might be useful for a greater work! - 04/22/16 Started working on the following levels today! Since so many people requested more levels and this game got more attention than I ever thought, I'm going to complete the game with the last 20 levels. Thanks a lot to everyone for supporting me, liking, leaving a fave and comment! Still, it's going to take some time. I try to finish as soon as I can, but I put a lot of work into it and I won't be able to work every day, I've been very busy lately. Info: Because I'll be working on it while you can play, it may cause bugs, wrong thumbnails or other small problems, I'll try to avoid that though. - 03/30/15 Featured! Thanks so much!! I won't be able to respond to all comments, so to everyone, thank you so much for playing, liking and commenting, it means a lot to me! - 03/31/15 1000th love! - 04/01/15 10000 views; 1000th fave! Wow O.O Thanks too all you guys for playing! - 04/04/15 20000 views; 2000th love! Thank you so much! - 04/07/15 2000th fave! - 04/14/15 30000 views! - 04/16/15 3000th love! - 05/24/15 40000 views; 3000th fave! :O P.S. I'm sorry, I know the game can be very laggy since there are a lot of sprites and processes running simultaneously. I'm trying to reduce the lag as much as possible, if it's still too slow on your computer, check out the "Quality" feature in settings menu. To all people advertising their projects in comments, already know about the Show and Tell Forums? And to all people asking about the emoticons: Two underscores (Hold Shift and press the " - " key) and one of the given words in lower case letters in between. No capital letters, no spaces in between (mind spaces between previous and following words though), just like " _meow_ ", " _gobo_ ", " _waffle_ ", " _taco_ ", " _apple_ ", " _pizza_ ", " _sushi_ ", " _eggplant_ " and " _broccoli_ " (not tree!). ▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪ UPDATES v1.3 Reduced lag for low quality; improved doors sound effects v1.2 adding loading status; lag reduced v1.1 supporting arrow keys controls; adding atmospheric ambient sound effect (see Settings menu) ▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪ IDEA When I was younger, I often played a german board game called "Waldschattenspiel" (Forest Shadow Game). The point of the game was to move little dwarfs through a forest and hide in dark areas behind trees, while every round the other player was moving a candle and trying to catch them with the light. It was my favorite game and it really inspired me making this project. ▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪ Since cloud data act really weird sometimes, the online save system might be unsafe. Please let me know if there are any bugs, spelling mistakes or other issues. ▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪▫▪ Music from newgrounds.com: - 466266 "BetweenTheLights" by christho - 392282 "Skylights" by Dj Niamek/ Silta - 566116 "Mexico" by SolidElectro Sound effects and atmospheric ambient sound from freesound.org.
