Commander McSquidy

Commander McSquidy, get out of bed!

The time for rest is past…

If eels reach our food, we’ll all be dead

And you will be dead last.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Train your squid army by showing them as many different paths to the food as possible.
• They will defend by imitating your moves, in reverse.
• Avoid clams.
• Use left/right arrows to move, and up arrow to jump (or WAD)

TIPS

• Use headphones to hear the stereo effects and original music!
• Training 5 squids is barely enough.  You need 6 to do a respectable job.

Our thanks to the open source community for making these projects possible by providing such amazing tools for free!

C. Haine (12) Senior Vice President of Engineering.  He originated the concept and did all the coding using Scratch 3.  “I wanted to experiment more with recording actions”

K. Haine (12) leads the Visual Design department.  She designed all artwork and characters in Krita. “I was inspired by nanikisunami’s four color palette of Big Sip Escape”

P. Haine (>12) runs the Audio department.  The music was composed in Logic Pro X and sound effects were edited using Audacity.  “I learned how to make watery sound effects using online tutorials.  (Hint: Phaser + reverb + low-pass filter.)”

Most sound effects originated from Freesound.org.  Some came from Logic Pro X.
