Me, My Fears, and I (24 Hour Version)

*** THIS VERSION IS NOW OUTDATED. PLAY THE REMASTERED VERSION HERE. ***

In "Me, My Fears & I," you play as a young boy named William, who is his own worst enemy because every night, he has nightmares where his worst fears come to life as monsters, such as ghosts, clowns, and aliens. The goal is to survive your endless nightmare of enemies for as long as possible by aiming your trusty flashlight at the monsters to make them disappear.

How to play:

• Move with WASD
• Aim your flashlight with the mouse
• Toggle flashlight with left click
• Defeating enemies and surviving each wave restores some health
• Your battery is also replenished after each wave
• Enemies drop "Dream Orbs" when defeated, pick them up by going near them
• After each wave, press 1, 2, or 3 on your keyboard to spend your Dream Orbs and upgrade your health, flashlight battery, or speed
• If you don't have enough Dream Orbs, the upgrade will skip
• Stand still to recharge your flashlight

Tip: To save on battery, try rounding up enemies together to kill them all at once!

Notice: This game was originally made for Windows, so it just goes to a blank screen instead of closing the application when you press the "Quit" button, press the escape key, or get a Game Over. When this happens, simply refresh the page to try again! Also, if the WASD controls ever randomly stop working, go to another tab then come back and it should be fixed. This is a bug with GameMaker, sorry!

Enemies:

• Ghost - The most common monster. It's slow, weak, and vaporizes from your flashlight fairly easily, but watch out, because they're strong in numbers!
• Clown - Even though it dies from light instantly, the clown is strong and quickly runs straight towards you, so you always have to be on alert to survive.
• Alien - This little guy is slow and weak at first glance, but is actually incredibly tough and deals loads of damage.

Ready to help William conquer his fears? Play now, and see what wave you can make it to!

This was made by a team of two highschoolers in less than 24 hours for the Counterspell 2024 Game Jam hosted by Hack Club, where the theme was revealed to be "You are your own worst enemy." All art was done by @messed-up83, and I did all the programming.
