A downloadable game

pls note: you will need to keep SuperSecretFiles folder in the same directory as the .jar, otherwise the score recording won't work!

This game was made in 9 hours (between 6pm on 23/11/19 to 3am on 24/11/19) for a game jam hosted by the University of Essex Game Development Society. The theme was 'A Day In The Life', in case you were wondering.

It runs on Java 8, so, if you have Java installed, it should work fine (or, at least, as fine as something like this can run).

OKAY SO BASICALLY THESE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS

You are an epic gamer, who must resist the urge to say The Gamer Word for as long as possible.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

  • Resist the urge to say The Gamer word

HOW TO DO IT

  • Balance your GamerCoins, GamerFuel, and GamerEnergy levels to resist the urge to say the Gamer Word.
  • When the urge to say the Gamer Word reaches 100, that's game over!
  • You can get GamerCoins by working
    • But doing this costs GamerEnergy!
  • You can get GamerEnergy by eating GamerFuel
    • But this consumes GamerFuel!
  • You can get GamerFuel by buying GamerFuel
    • But this consumes GamerEnergy and GamerCoins!
  • You can resist the urge to say the Gamer Word by playing vidyagaems
    • But this consumes GamerEnergy!
  • Alternatively you can just procrastinate, which consumes nothing
    • But gives you nothing (except an increased urge to say the gamer word).
  • So yeah see how long you can last!
