Waiting for a Bite - A Stardew Valley Fishing Metroidvaina (web)

[alexjgriffith]

Just published my latest game, Waiting for a Bite, on itch.io. https://alexjgriffith.itch.io/waiting-for-a-bite

It has builds for Windows and Linux, as well as the web. The web build runs well on chrome, but is a bit sluggish in firefox.

• Play as a small mouse trapped down at the bottom of a well.

• Collect the equipment you need to escape.

• Make sure you make the right choices and the right friends.

The game was made in Love2D using Fennel over 10 days for the 2023 fall lisp game jam.

I wrote a full level editor for the game. To access it press [ctrl-tab]. Change brushes using [0]-[9] and cycle through brush pallets using [.]

The source code is available at https://git.sr.ht/~alexjgriffith/bite/tree

It looks great, but unfortunately I couldn't play it (I tried the windows build and the .love file and gives the same error below)
The web version doesn't seem to work in my browser either....(tried on Edge and Chrome)

Code: Select all
