Hop-Beat-Die

Escape the Mage's grasp with your reality-hopping abilities!

Each time you move, the side you land on determines which reality you and the Mage will fall into. Not everything is all chaos, though. If you're quick enough, you may just be able to master the randomness of the alternating abilities the Mage has bestowed you with to escape his not-so-orderly yard.

You and everyone else acts at every down-beat, reality changes at every up-beat.

Following the down-beat, a number is generated on the corner of the screen, corresponding to one of four realities: a desert, a snowy storm with strong winds that will push you towards whatever direction it's blowing, an alien planet, and the mage's good ol' native medieval fantasy yard. The face that you land on while moving will take you and the Mage to that respective reality while you try to flee from him. Use that tiny interval to prepare for whatever is coming on the up-beat!

You got abilities that activate corresponding to that same result: a dash that will make you move, a magic shield, a stunning projectile and an unlucky fart (not every face of a die is desirable, after all). But that's all you'll have going for you when an innocent-looking donkey suddenly turns into a ravenous alien monster or a fire-breathing dragon - or a yeti with a very disfunctional stomach.

Press A and D to move around, and either W or Spacebar to jump. Remember - you and everyone else can only move at the down-beat, so think fast and use that to your advantage!
